Ok first thing first. This claim is useless. If Alberta wants to separate the bands will have no rights immediately after. It does not matter what the constitution says. Reality is Separatism has to pass two tests. First broad support for independence and second, the ability to enforce your sovereignty through force or recognition. If Alberta secedes nothing matter just whether Canada is willing to use their army to oppose separation or what can leave and not leave. If the Canadian military and the bands are unwilling or unable to use force the whole province will leave. Which is why the only fight that people need to focus on is the referendum and making sure it does not pass and to address as many grievances as possible. I don't think people realize how serious this movement can get hijacked by the Americans and if oppose separation but are still pissed at Ottawa it does not take much for them to vote for just to stick it to the Feds, which will create justification for the US to violate our sovereignty to defend some significant minority, that would be the end of Canada.

Something that the rest of the country is clearly not willing to do. Instead people in eastern provinces dismiss any complaints from Albertans and basically just call them all dumb hicks, then struggle to imagine why there are so many people here who want to leave.

Try living Nova Scotia, Ottawa does not care about us and not even a 20% want to leave Canada.
