🚨 BREAKING: Alberta’s independence referendum question has been released. “Should Alberta remain a province of Canada or should the Government of Alberta commence the legal process required under the Canadian Constitution to hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada?” Many wanted a... direct vote on independence. Instead, the question asks whether Alberta should begin the legal process required to hold a binding referendum on separation.show more

They're just going to spend the next few years packing Alberta with hundreds of thousands of new citizens who will vote to stay in Canada, so their family can move to Canada.

"Let's have a referendum on whether or nor we should have a referendum" We're cooked.

Grok explains that both a YES or a NO vote on that question mean the same thing. This question is convoluted and ridiculous. This isn't incompetence. It is deliberate sabatoge.

Another stall tactic in hopes the separation movement loses traction.

This isn't an independence questions it's a question to ASK the question IN THE FUTURE. maybe years from now. By then the 1 million non voting eligible will be able to vote by citizenship and Ottawa will continue to fast track the third world with full citizenships to Alberta and we''ll no longer be 50% of the voter base, i'm not retarded, I know the game plan here. It's painfully obvious, we've been getting 2x the immigrants as any ot her province, Quebec has 2x our population and only 500k non voting eligible adults. We're getting bent over and fucked raw dog here with a sprinking of carbon taxes on top of it with a bunch of Carney praise. If you think this is a win, it's literally over. We'll never be free.

I wish I was surprised. This is not the Danielle we all supported when she took leadership. This is a politician that is bullsh*tting us with the same tactics that Kenney provided, as we get weaker for it. If we follow her script, the Alberta of today will no longer exist by the time an actual vote for independence occurs… We are all getting played here.

A vote to have a vote. Lol.

This is a common European tactic used to destroy the sovereignty of nations. Multiple states were forced to join the EU after being asked until they finally capitulated. Don't be fooled, Alberta! This is evil.

Pathetic. Email your CA associations. Demand an SGM and a leadership vote now. 24 of the 87 CAs need to call for one. This is absolute bullshit. 40 percent of the last election stood outside in parking lots to demand this.

That is what he PETITION was for,,, Now we need a Simple question,, Alberta stay in the Crown's tax colony Canada OR Alberta become an independent, and sovereign state/country

@Opt1mu5P No, it's not Alberta's independence referendum. It's a referendum on instructing the government to work toward an independence referendum.

The fucking question doesn't even make sense. It's two different questions jammed into one sentence. What does yes mean? What does no mean? It's time to take over the UCP party and kick Danny to the curb. She is controlled opposition.

Too complicated for "newcomers" that can't really read or speak English. So they'll just vote along with Carney because that's their ticket meal. 😏

What a BS pussy foot question. Why not just say what you mean. Stay or leave. Simple

FFS. We don’t want or need a question about the question. 🤦🏼‍♂️🙄 It’s time we just write a Declaration of Independence.

Translation You can waste your time in October, then Carney and I will absolutely let you leave in 2029. We promise. Enjoy being abused. Oust Danielle. Even better, prepare yourself to leave Canada.

Timing is better . People need to understand issues like Currency, Pensions, Military, Trade better before a referendum vote. Plus more time for the Liberals to fuck up the country so bad that the conclusion to become independent will be obvious.

So BS... The next SGM/AGM can't happen soon enough.

I want to cry. I am ready to move out of Alberta and Canada. I am done with the politics.

Did Quebec have to jump through these hoops?

The question itself, makes no sense. Can't be answered.

Let's ask a question, if we should ask a question. What a complete and utter disappointment by @ABDanielleSmith and the United Conservative Procrastinators.

Pulling the rug from under our feet. Stalling tactics until in a few years from now, if the question will ever be asked, Alberta will be full of “new Canadians” that would never vote for independence. And Alberta will be also an NDP shithole just like BC. A referendum to ask for a referendum….. You must be kidding me. What a f-ing uber bad taste joke this was. A flight over a cuckoo’s nest. People, we need the AGM ASAP. We need a premier that will work for Albertans not appease Ottawa. Again and again and again.

Remember: getting this done during the Trump administration was crucial; no guarantee other American governments would recognize Alberta. This is a joke to extend this over a decade and stack the numbers. Anybody defending this is a grifter after your money over the issue.

That is basically 2 questions, if you vote yes than what part of the question will they say the yes is for? Remaining in Canada or having a real referendum vote?

So ... we're going to have as a referendum on having a referendum? So now ... pro-Federalists only have to one 1 vote. While pro-Independence has to win 2 votes.

Smith is holding one hand with the separatists and one hand with the ‘I love Canada’ crowd. Meanwhile, Ottawa holds a boot on Alberta’s neck.

She said she couldn’t do a direct separation question bc of the court ruling which would take years to appeal. She desperately wants to be the one bringing in a pipeline & she hasn’t realized yet it’s never happening.

As an Albertan, this is disappointing. Over 300k voted already, the ALTA gov't could put the question on the referendum right now, it's the "this could take SEVERAL YEARS" to fight part that rips votes off.

So basically, in the referendum, we’re going to be asked if we want another referendum about Alberta leaving Canada? What the heck is that?

Complete and utter bullshit! A referendum to ask permission to hold a referendum is not what the petitioners signed up for.

A referendum question; for a referendum question. Smith is done.

You guys are brain dead. I’m so proud to be Canadian. You have done zero for our country except bitch. Get a life, pick up a shovel and get to work.

@X_lifeGail Not good enough. Not nearly good enough
