This October, Albertans will vote in a referendum on the issues of Alberta separation from Canada, immigration, and the Canadian constitution.The referendum results are almost entirely non-binding but will determine a path for our provincial government and will impact all of Canada.
Join us for a series of panels presented by U of L Faculty. Together, we will explore the context of the referendum and unpack the issues of Alberta separation and treaty, the constitution, and immigration. See the attached general schedule for panel times; the panel topics and speakers are:
- Albertans as Prairie, Democratic Subjects with Dr. Susan Dieleman and Miranda Leibel
- The Referendum(s) and the Constitution with Drs. Megan Aiken, Yale Belanger, and Trevor Harrison
- Separation and Treaty Issues with Drs. Lars Hallstrom and Don McIntyre
- Scapegoating and Separatists: Why Immigration is on the Ballot with Drs. Bronwyn Bragg, Stephanie Kerr, and Amy Mack
Faculty, if you intend to bring your classes, please contact Shannon McAlorum so we can plan to accommodate the necessary capacity.
