Danielle Smith just made her position clear on separatism. But she doesn’t agree with the court decision regarding the petition and will be appealing it. “Smith says she wants to add an additional question to the upcoming Alberta referendum on constitutional matters and changes to the immigration system. She says the question will not 'directly trigger separation' but would ask about holding a binding referendum on the matter.”

#BREAKING: Danielle Smith says her govt will not be moving to push for separation from Canada... But if there's a successful citizen lead petition requesting a referendum, it'll be on the ballot in 2026. Is it time for Alberta to break free of Ottawa's rule?

🚨 Premier Danielle Smith just dropped truth on the Alberta separation fight. She’s making it crystal clear: she and her entire UCP caucus support Alberta remaining in Canada. But she’s not backing down from democracy. The court ruling that threw out the separatist petition? She calls it “incorrect in law and undemocratic.” Her government is appealing it immediately. This is leadership that actually respects the will of Albertans instead of Ottawa’s gag order. While Carney and the Liberals keep pushing their anti-Alberta agenda, Danielle Smith is drawing a line: Canada yes — but not at the cost of Alberta’s voice. Albertans are done being treated like second-class citizens in their own country. #DanielleSmith #AlbertaStrong #StandUpForAlberta #CDNPoli #AlbertaSeparation #FreedomToChoose

In Alberta a single judge has just basically tossed out the separatist petition of over 300,000 signatures. Danelle Smith says that they will be appealing it as she believes there has been “an error in law” and it’s anti-democratic. This is going to get ugly.

Premier Smith says she worries that the court decision to quash the separatist petition would force all petition groups to perform duty to consult. Adds that she believes ruling could impact every single bill the province passes going forward that might touch on FN.

I stand with Premier Danielle Smith in defending Alberta’s interests, and in the October referendum I will be voting for Alberta to remain a proud province of Canada. Alberta deserves a strong voice, fair treatment, and leaders willing to fight for the province. It is possible to support Alberta and advocate for respect from Ottawa, while still believing in a united country. #Alberta #Canada #UnitedCanada #ProudlyAlbertan #ProudlyCanadian #AbPoli #CdnPoli
