An Alberta judge has ruled that a proposed referendum question on the province’s separation from Canada would contravene the Constitution.

Court of King’s Bench Justice Colin Feasby said in a Dec. 5 decision filed in Calgary that a proposed separation-referendum question from the sovereignty advocacy group Alberta Prosperity Project (APP) would be unconstitutional because it doesn’t guarantee the rights protected by the Canadian Constitution.
