In Episode 124, we explore both the practical and theoretical constitutional consequences of Alberta separation, however unlikely, and particularly for Indigenous groups in that province. Christine explains the recent Kanyinda decision from the Supreme Court of Canada (Quebec (Attorney General) v. Kanyinda, 2026 SCC 7) and it looks like, once again, we have more "bubble zones" to fight.
