Americans with an interest in their northern neighbours are curiously looking on, wondering about the possibility of Alberta breaking away from the rest of Canada to create a new province.
Glenn Beck raised the subject with Keith Wilson during the prominent Alberta independence activist and constitutional lawyer’s appearance on Blaze Media’s The Glenn Beck Program.
“Is there enough support in Alberta to actually get that done,” Beck asked, in addition to whether Wilson actually thought “Canada would allow” the province, “the Texas of Canada,” to leave Confederation.
Wilson pointed to the unique legal framework in Canada, which allows a province the ability to exit through a referendum.
“If a clear majority of voters within a province vote on a clear question for independence, that triggers two routes to independence,” the constitutional law expert said.
