Alberta is careening toward a referendum with the possibility of a divorce between the conservative, oil-rich province and liberal Canada.
Initiating the Referendum
Less than 24 hours after globalist Mark Carney and his leftist government won control on April 28, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith introduced a bill lowering the threshold needed to trigger a secession referendum. The bill, which has since passed, reduces the necessary number of signatures from 20 percent of voters who participated in the last general election to 10 percent, which equals somewhere around 200,000 names. It also increases the number of days allowed for collecting signatures by an entire month, from 90 to 120 days.
Citizen groups have already collected hundreds of thousands of signatures, according to reports. The Alberta Prosperity Project, for instance, says it has gathered about 240,000. The secession referendum will take place in 2026 if enough signatures are verifiably collected.
A recent Angus Reid Institute poll found that 30 percent of voters “say they would vote to leave [the] federation, whether to form their own country or to join the United States.”
