What is the Clarity Act?

[nihalsari]

The Clarity Act is a Canadian federal law passed in 2000 as Bill C‑20. It sets out the rules that would govern negotiations if a province ever votes to leave Canada. The Act requires that any referendum question about secession be clear and that the result shows a clear majority in favour before the federal government will begin discussions on separation. It was created following guidance from the Supreme Court of Canada after Quebec’s 1995 referendum on independence.

it makes sense legally, but politically it’s a mess because any losing side can just argue the rules were unfair.
