A judge in Alberta has dismissed a petition seeking the province’s separation from Canada after Indigenous First Nations groups argued the move would violate treaty rights without proper consultation. The ruling comes despite the separatist group Stay Free Alberta claiming it gathered more than 300,000 signatures in support of a referendum on independence. The case has reignited debate over regional autonomy, Indigenous rights and Canada’s political future. #Canada #Alberta #IndigenousRights
