Schulich Law Runnymede Society Secession Debate: Alberta Bound – Secession or Subversion?
Alberta’s separatist movement has gained momentum with the province lowering its referendum petition threshold to just 10%.
The Runnymede Society’s Schulich School of Law Student Chapter invites you to a debate on the constitutional justifiability of Alberta secession.
The debate will take place between Queen's University Professor of Law Bruce Pardy and Schulich School of Law Professor Brian Casey, KC, and will be moderated by Runnymede National Director Tim Haggstrom.
The Resolution:
Alberta’s pursuit of separation from Canada is constitutionally permissible under Reference re Secession of Quebec [1998], but unjustified due to its impact on federalism and Indigenous treaty rights.
