It’s being called Canada’s “Brexit moment.” Alberta’s premier has announced that a referendum will be held in October, asking voters in the province whether they wish to remain part of Canada, or begin the legal process of pursuing separation.  Leana Hosea reports from Alberta on the origins of the movement, its legal status and why the possibility of secession puts the rights of First Nations communities in jeopardy.
