Keith Wilson: “The only viable path forward is independence”
Constitutional lawyer Keith Wilson says Ottawa has failed Alberta for decades — and argues October 19 could mark a turning point no federal fix can solve
Premier Danielle Smith is making her stance on Alberta separatism clear, as the province moves closer to a potential independence referendum.
On Thursday, Smith told reporters that her position remains in favour of Alberta staying within Canada, and that any independence question would not be government-sponsored.
Constitutional lawyer Keith Wilson says Alberta has reached a structural dead end within Confederation. He joins Marc Patrone to discuss the growing momentum behind separation, the legal pathway to independence laid out by the Supreme Court, and why he believes the province is running out of meaningful options within the current federal framework.
He also shares his thoughts on what a successful vote could mean in practice, including how negotiations might unfold and what separation would mean for Canada’s cultural and political landscape going forward.
