Will it be well run or a clusterf***? At the coal face on the day, the federal election, last year, ran reasonably smoothly; last year's Alberta municipal elections (Calgary's at least) less so, a lot due to procedures imposed by the province.

India has an opportunity to do something hilarious here.

They do up to and until it runs into treaty deals, which because of section 35, Section 35 constitutionally entrenches these treaty rights, a province has no legal power to alter, inherit, or cancel a federal treaty unilaterally.

To which legal beagles for Team Leave could say, “hey, Canada can run reserves like Russia runs Transdnistria for all we care - we’re a new country now.” It would be interesting, but there’s a number of steps before that question gets wrestled with.

Lotsa litigation out there on consultation, much of it pre-UNDRIP, but has any court come out with a decision, pre- or post-UNDRIP, saying SPECIFICALLY that Indigenous consent is a prerequisite for secession? I've been out of tracking such stuff for a few years, but I suspect "no" because if there had been, we'd hear about it all over the place. As always, I stand to be corrected, though

I'm not aware of one.

I wasn't thinking specifically about succession but rather, the broader question of whether the issue of consultation and their 'free, prior and informed consent' is a de facto veto.

Happy to hear different from any provincial types, but my understanding is that provincial Crown Land is owned by the province in question. That said, that doesn't mean they can do whatever the hell they want on it.

It is my understanding that 'Crown land' is owned by the Crown, of which there is only one in Canada, but administration is divided between the provinces and the feds. If the question is 'what is the authority for that division, I'm not completely sure, except for "lands reserved for the indians" are specifically a federal responsibility under the Constitution.
