Albertans will be going to the polls on October 19th. Let’s dig into the questions you’ll see on the ballots.
The question:
Do you support the Government of Alberta working with the governments of other willing provinces to amend the Canadian Constitution to have provincial governments, and not the federal government, select the justices appointed to provincial King's Bench and Appeal courts?
What is this really asking?
This asks if Alberta should choose judges outside of Canada-wide legal standards.
Why this matters for Treaty No. 6:
Changing how judges are appointed raises questions about how national legal standards and Treaty commitments are upheld.
Who this affects:
This affects how justice works across Alberta.
CT6’s recommendation:
Vote No.
Treaty is sacred.
