This isn't really the place to discuss US politics, IMHO - we have plenty of other threads for that.
So ... it appears the left-wing party wants to repeal the Clarity Act.
This has been part of their policy for a couple of years, but it only came to the forefront recently.
We don't have a tradition of "provinces' rights" the way the US has its tradition of "states' rights," so this is a major change to the political landscape. Yes, the change is "go back to making separatism referenda practical to hold" - but do we really want to go back there?

"Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose
them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."
