Alberta’s Referendum Leader Announced | Calgary News
2d ago00:01:29Tap to summarizeConservative leader Pierre Poilievre has tapped Parkland MP Dane Lloyd — a military veteran and Alberta caucus chair — to lead the campaign to keep Alberta in Canada ahead of a pivotal October 19 referendum. Lloyd will be tasked with listening to Albertans’ concerns and rallying national unity, as the party pushes a message of “win-win” solutions: repealing Liberal policies on resources and gun control while promoting pipelines, housing, lower taxes, and safety. Poilievre frames the referendum as an opportunity to deliver better deals within Confederation, not as a threat to national unity — even as some within the Alberta caucus have been reluctant to publicly back staying united.

Transcribe →First Nations Unite Against Alberta Separation | Calgary News
2d ago00:01:59Tap to summarizeFirst Nations leaders from Quebec and Labrador are standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Alberta First Nations, passing a bold resolution to defend treaty rights against any Alberta separation push. They’re clear: no province can unilaterally rewrite the constitutional relationship with Indigenous peoples — and any referendum on independence must include their consent. Drawing on past experiences with provincial separation talks, chiefs stress that First Nations are distinct rights holders, and any political process involving them must be conducted through respectful, government-to-government dialogue. Meanwhile, Alberta’s Premier dismisses court rulings blocking independence petitions as “anti-democratic,” but First Nations leaders say that ignores treaty obligations and the rule of law. The resolution demands all levels of government honor their commitments — including implementing the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples — and recognize that Indigenous rights cannot be sidelined by political agendas.
