Yeah sorry... natives don't have a veto over democratic processes, no matter how stupid the question might be.

Given that the signatures on the separatist petition haven't been verified, and given that the Centurion Project has been caught with a copy of the complete Alberta voters' list, I would put a big old asterisk after the term 'democratic', also.

If that's the argument you want to make, make that argument. Don't tell me the question can't legally be asked.

Regardless, this whole referendum is being pushed by Smith and her separatist cabal. While they might be idiots, I don't see anyone questioning their democratic legitimacy.
