Rath represented the Sturgeon Lake Cree for 14 YEARS.

When their claim neared settlement, he suddenly switched them to a contingency fee….then claimed $28.57M!!!

A court ruled it unenforceable & ordered him to pay $235K for conduct “not in their instructions or interest.”

#BREAKING A judge has quashed the approval, by Elections Alberta, that started the separation petition.

Lawyers for Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation say this means the independence referendum cannot happen, at least under this question.

Today, a judge has thrown out the Alberta separatist petition because Danielle Smith’s UCP government failed in its legal duty to consult First Nations.

I want to thank the fearless First Nations who stood up and led this fight against separatism – not just for their nations, but for all Albertans and for Canadians. Specifically, thank you to the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation, the Blackfoot Confederacy, and Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation, for fighting for our country with your time and money.

First Nations are not alone, as the vast majority of Albertans stand alongside them, opposed to a costly, divisive exercise. This referendum violates treaty rights, it would cost Albertans hundreds of millions of dollars, and is now tied to serious public safety concerns thanks to the largest data breach in Alberta’s history.

The Premier says that she’s exploring other ideas. Here’s an idea, Premier: call off the referendum and put this to bed. This petition is dead. This referendum is dead. For the premier to spend taxpayer time and money to resurrect it, would prove what we’ve always known: she’s a separatist.

Accept the court’s decision. Nobody is above the law – and certainly not this Premier.

Albertans are proud Canadians and want nothing more than to move on from this and focus on the things that really matter.

Here's the reaction the the court's decision from the Chief of Sturgeon Lake as well as the lawyer working the case.

@jonnywakefield Not a lawyer, but I've learned when Court finds a government decision "unreasonable", it gets undone. Petition gone.

"Crown failed to meet its duty to consult" = how Danielle Smith operates.

“Building a new oil pipeline to the west coast of Canada is consistent with the teachings of Jesus, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith told a gathering of Christian leaders and organizations from across the province last week.”

The government was told the question was unconstitutional.

The separatists were told the question is unconstitutional.

Today, the rule of law did exactly what it is supposed to do.

All of the separatists work was for nothing.

BREAKING!!!!

A judge has ruled that the Elections Alberta CEO’s issuing of the separatist petition was a violation and the decision to issue that has been quashed.

The push to have an illegal petition has killed itself!

Danielle Smith said today that she believes that citizen initiated referendum should be able to be asked on any topic at all.

This is unbelievably dangerous for obvious reasons.

Canada has hate speech laws for a reason.

A First Nation located downstream of the oilsands is suing Alberta and Canada, claiming ‘cumulative industrial harms.’ Mikisew Cree want damages and to co-manage projects, but as Sean Amato reports, Alberta is already denying their health claims. #ableg
