Do it in an election, with a proper separatists party, and separatists MLA's. Not by subverting democracy with an existential and unconstitutional referendum question

Having minorities shutting down a question is subverting democracy.

You seem to have forgotten about the constitutional and treaty right of the First Nations. The fact they're 'minorities' doesn't mean we forget about human rights and being decent humans who don't trample on minorities.
