001Does the Clarity Act give Ottawa a veto over Alberta independence?The Clarity Act sets federal conditions before Canada enters secession negotiations, but Alberta-specific effects require careful legal sourcing.

Referenced claims

001clarity-actThe Clarity Act gives the House of Commons a federal gatekeeping role before the Government of Canada enters negotiations on provincial secession.
