Canada

Let's say that a referendum passed, how would that even work? Found this Supreme Court remark from Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin in 2014 when I was searching around for an answer of "is that even possible?", apparently the Feds referred that question to the scoc during the Quebec referendums in the 90s, (see section 5) and the answer seems to be, certainly not unilaterally (I'll read this in detail when I have a chance). The also touch on treaty rights which is my question as well, Alberta is like all treaty land, how would the indigenous land rights be handled? On top of that, as far as I recall there's a tonne of crown land in Alberta, again, how would that be handled?

I don't have answers to these, just something I think about when these rumblings come up. I have my doubts about the actual popularity of an Alberta sovereignty movement, and frankly Canada is stronger with them than without, like with Québec it would be a loss to the federation.
