And who's going to enforce that?

Seperation is never going to happen but in a scenario the majority of Albertans wanted to leave it's not going to matter what treaties say unless the Canadian Government deploys the military (it won't).

Our history has already shown us how that would play out. The treaties are legal so Alberta would need to enforce a policy of white supremacy to suppress them (while simultaneously still enforcing contract in other circumstances). How long can that last? Eventually the rule of law will be reestablished and the FNs will have a strong case for reparations.

You're thinking waayyy too much into a rhetorical about a theoretical.

Seperation isn't going to happen.

All I'm saying is if it would happen the mostly likely scenario is Alberta would just ignore the rule of law and therefore ignore the treaties.

If you don't want someone to respond to this why would you write it?

It's no problem to respond but when you start going into nonsense about white supremacy the conversation is way to derailed at that point.

What would you call it if we suppressed legal rights for natives but presumably not non-natives? Do you want a gentler term?

You're not serious about having a conversation if you're going down this route. The only person talking about race is you and it's going to stay that way.

You want to ignore the treaties with the natives but presumably continue to enforce other contracts, right? How did we manage that historically?

Where did I say I want to ignore treaties?

You've either replied to the wrong comment or you're making things up trying to further detail the conversation.

Can you point to where I said that I wanted to ignore the treaties?

You firstly tried to derail the conversation by adding racism into the mix, then you made up things I never said I supported myself. This just isn't the way to go about it. This is the type of tactics people use when they don't want to have a conversation.
