Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says Assembly of Treaty Chiefs should show mutual respect if the chiefs want to maintain good working relations with her cabinet and have their attention, after the assembly called on police to investigate her for “treason.”
The Alberta Assembly of Treaty Chiefs representing Treaties 6, 7, and 8 passed a resolution June 16 calling on the RCMP and auditor general to investigate Smith for treason, citing concerns over handling of Alberta’s referendum question on separation, treaty rights, and Canadian sovereignty.
