Itâs been said many times that the treaties supersede the separatists. Alberta simply canât leave without support from treaty signatories. And today, Chief Billy-Joe Tuccaro of the Mikisew Cree Nation made it clear. Itâs a hard no.

The last guy made such a good point about Treaties and Indigenous rights, and how that is a part of this. I donât think US imperialism will care that much about treaties. However Canadian sovereignty would do well by strengthening our relationships with Indigenous nations.
