Elections Alberta has approved the proposed referendum question, 'Do you agree that the province of Alberta should cease to be a part of Canada to become an independent state?'
My bad, it seemed like you were implying that the 38.7% of people who signed the Forever Canadian petition and the 30% who are (or at least were) for Alberta separatism were the exact same group.
I think the real reason the UCP leadership puts this kind of crazy stuff on the ballot is to make sure that 30% shows up to vote in force. If everyone else turns up to vote, or their base had a regular level of turnout, then they’d have no shot.

So, what about First Nations? Are you going to vote away their land??

My friends in Alberta, are First Nations. And this was my first thought. We should send the people who want to be Americans, to America.
The separatists don’t concern themselves with “minor details” like that.
You think the people who signed the Forever Canadian petition are all people who want to leave Canada?
