'Alberta Forever'? New petition pushes to keep the province in Canada Former PC deputy premier Thomas Lukaszuk leads a counter-petition to block Alberta sovereignty, racing to collect nearly 300,000 signatures by October 28. A new petition is making the rounds — one that calls for Alberta to stay in Canada. The campaign, titled “Alberta Forever Canada,” is being positioned as a direct counter to the growing Alberta independence movement. The timing isn’t a coincidence. This petition was launched almost immediately after a citizens’ initiative was filed to hold a province-wide vote on whether Alberta should separate from Ottawa and pursue sovereignty. That separation petition has clearly rattled the political atmosphere. Now we’re seeing the counter-offensive. Former Progressive Conservative deputy premier Thomas Lukaszuk, one of Alberta’s most vocal critics of independence, quickly sought approval from Elections Alberta to put forward his own initiative. The question being asked is: “Do you agree that Alberta should remain in Canada?” Lukaszuk and his team has just 90 days to gather nearly 300,000 valid signatures before the October 28th deadline. But make no mistake: this is more than just paperwork. This is political warfare. On one side, Albertans who feel Ottawa has repeatedly attacked our energy industry, our farmers, and our provincial autonomy. Many believe independence is the only way to safeguard Alberta’s future and preserve our traditional way of life. On the other side, federal loyalists insist Alberta is inseparable from Canada. In this report we speak to petition organizers and those who came to sign.

301,000 Albertans demand independence vote as massive petition haul delivered to Elections Alberta🗳️ Alberta's independence movement surges forward amid widespread dissatisfaction with Mark Carney's Liberal government. More than 301,000 Albertans signed on the dotted line for a chance to vote on independence, and on Monday, those signatures were physically delivered to Elections Alberta in one of the largest citizen-driven political mobilizations in modern Alberta history. The petition, spearheaded by referendum proponent Mitch Sylvestre and organized through Stay Free Alberta (Stay Free Alberta), was carried to the Elections Alberta office by supporters after months of canvassing across the province, each box bearing a photo of canvassers in action. According to organizers, nearly 7,000 volunteers helped gather the signatures during the depths of a bitter Alberta winter, knocking on doors, setting up tables at events, and driving countless rural backroads to collect names from Albertans demanding a say on the province’s future inside Confederation. The number to trigger a referendum under Alberta's citizen-led initiative rules was 177,732, or 10% of the votes cast in the 2023 general election. If certified by Elections Alberta, the petition would trigger a provincewide referendum on Alberta independence set for October 19, 2026. The boxes containing the petitions were wrapped in evidence tape upon delivery, a reflection of the increasingly high-stakes political and legal fight surrounding the initiative. A court challenge launched on behalf of a small group of activist Indigenous chiefs is attempting to stop the referendum process before Albertans ever get the chance to cast a ballot. But supporters say the sheer scale of the petition effort sends a message Ottawa can no longer ignore: dissatisfaction in Alberta is no longer something that can be ignored. Sheila Gunn Reid
