Missing 7-year-old girl in Chilliwack prompts huge search

A First Nations chief in Alberta says he will push for a referendum to have Premier Danielle Smith kicked out of office if she doesn’t agree to meet with him and other Indigenous leaders across the West amid the separatist talk they say violates treaty rights. In a letter dated May 2, Chief Clifford Poucette of Goodstoney First Nation requested a formal meeting with Ms. Smith to discuss mounting concerns over what he says are government efforts to “loosen referendum rules and entertain conversations that embolden Alberta’s separatist movement.”
