#OnionLake #CreeNation to proceed with its legal challenge of #Alberta sovereignty act
By Lisa Johnson The Canadian Press, May 15, 2025
EDMONTON - "Alberta’s bill lowering the bar for a separation referendum has spurred a #FirstNation to push ahead with a legal challenge against the premier’s flagship sovereignty act.
"Danielle Smith has said her Alberta Sovereignty Within a United Canada Act is needed to push back on what the province believes is unconstitutional federal encroachment into provincial jurisdiction.
"But Onion Lake Cree Nation Chief #HenryLewis said that law has always been about undermining federal authority and asserting provincial control, which goes against his community’s #Treaty6 relationship with the Crown." 'I want to respectfully remind the premier that this land that we stand on today is #Treaty land and is not yours to take or make sweeping decisions about,” he said at a news conference in Edmonton on Thursday.
"He announced the legal challenge is moving forward a day after Smith’s government passed a bill significantly lowering the threshold for citizens to prompt a referendum, including one on seceding from Canada."
