The Alberta/Ottawa Agreement Meets Another Unity Crisis

Following the November 27th memorandum of understanding between the federal government and Alberta, we sat down with Canada’s leading constitutional scholar and Section1.ca founder Peter Biro to investigate what it might mean for Indigenous rights, national unity, and our democracy more broadly. And we ask the question: with Canada in crisis, how can we make thoughtful decisions while also acting urgently?

This conversation is the perfect extension for the newly released Canada at a Crossroads: Chapter 3, where we discuss how historical issues of land, identity, and sovereignty are coming full circle in the face of US threats and global disruption.

About Peter Biro:

Peter is the Founder and President of Section1.ca. Lawyer, educator, writer, democracy scholar and advocate, businessman and community leader, he is a passionate advocate for the causes of liberal democracy, civil liberties, human rights, wildlife conservation and animal welfare.
