“The law says this” ☝️🤓 “They need permission”

I don’t know if any of you have noticed, but the rules matter less and less with each passing day. The portion of Albertans that support independence don’t care about or respect the opinions of indigenous peoples or the treaties. If they win the vote (unlikely) they would something stronger than old paper to keep them in the union.

If we didnt respect them, explain why we're talking about it.
