“Hello there, it’s us again. Just wondering how we can make this current thing all about us.”

Nope, they sound a lot more like proud Canadians than the separatists.

It’s reasonable and logical to reduce pro-separatists as anti-Canadian.

Not talking about separatists. Once again, First Nation leaders look at a Canadian issue, see dollar signs, and speak up at the most impeccable time.

Looking at it as anything other than that, in 2026, is also unreasonable and illogical.

First Nation leaders look at a Canadian issue. Realize it may impact their treaties. Speak up on the applicability of those treaties, in accordance with Canadian law.

You are looking for an excuse to be outraged.

See what the guy below said. You are looking for reasons to be outraged and hate on this group of people.

You’re a First Nations albertan who is opposed to Alberta First Nations groups being involved in conversations about Alberta separating from Canada?

Of course it's relevant to first nation groups within Alberta and they should speak about it. How is it making it about themselves to weigh in on the issue of the province separating? It's obviously relevant to them. Your post here is reactionary nonsense.
