Alberta Soverignty Act
🔥 Onion Lake Cree Nation vs. Danielle Smith: A showdown that could unravel the UCP’s sovereignty fantasy 🔥
👉 The facts:
Onion Lake Cree Nation filed a constitutional lawsuit back in 2022 to stop Alberta’s Sovereignty Act, arguing it violates Treaty 6 and Section 35 of the Constitution, the very laws that protect Indigenous rights and anchor Canada itself.
After trying to resolve things respectfully, they reactivated the case in May 2025 when Danielle Smith kept pushing ahead with this reckless Act.
Onion Lake gave Alberta until June 6, 2025 to file a defence. Smith’s government missed that critical deadline, putting them on thin ice legally.
👉 Why does it matter?
If Onion Lake wins, the courts could strike down or gut the Sovereignty Act entirely, setting a powerful precedent that provinces cannot override treaties or ignore Canada’s constitutional structure.
It would be a major blow to Smith and the UCP, exposing the Sovereignty Act, and by extension, the whole referendum and separatist bluster, as legally hollow.
Investors, legal scholars, and even grassroots Albertans would see it for what it is: a failed political gamble that risked Alberta’s stability for nothing.
👉 The sting:
Smith talks tough on sovereignty, but she missed the very court deadline that could defend her Act. Now Onion Lake stands poised to do what the UCP can’t: uphold the rule of law, protect treaties, and remind everyone this land is governed by agreements far older and deeper than any premier’s slogans.
💥 If Onion Lake wins, it’s not just a legal victory — it’s a loud message to every separatist dreamer: you don’t get to break treaties, divide Canada, or sell out future generations without a fight.

Thanks for posting this most interesting and worrisome information. Is this more incompetence and negligence of the Smith Regime in litigation? Or does she think her regime is above the law? Or, both?
So proud of you OLFN!
Don't ever back down. Most of those renegades have no clue about our history. ❤️
