Huh. Premier Smith claims the 450K people who signed the Forever Canada petition wanted a sovereignty referendum put to voters. Adds that Hon. Thomas A. Lukaszuk has changed his mind and now wants a legislative pathway instead of a referendum.

An Alberta separatist is claiming members of Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s UCP caucus have signed his petition to launch an independence referendum. “They can sign whatever petition that they want,” said Smith, adding she doesn’t know if any UCP MLAs have signed such a petition.

Asked about separation talk affecting investor confidence in Alberta due to referendum talk, Premier Danielle Smith says Thomas Lukaszuk is actually the one behind that campaign. Adds that Justin Trudeau is responsible for the independence movement in Alberta.

Danielle Smith is a separatist. The UCP is a separatist party. They are going to spend millions of public dollars to back the separatists and fight against the rights of Indigenous peoples.

Full section from Christy Clark. I understand this is a Laurentian tendency but calling Alberta separatism or a referendum stupid and saying Danielle Smith, a duly-elected premier, is "not qualified to be premier of a province" doesn't help the pro-federalist cause.

🚨PROOF: CBC’s Headline Misrepresented Premier Smith’s Position🚨 I’ve obtained the English version of what Premier Danielle Smith actually said in her Radio-Canada interview, and it confirms that CBC’s original headline was false. The Premier did not say she would campaign against Alberta sovereignty in the event of a referendum. Her answer in French matches exactly what she told me at the UCP AGM: She supports Alberta sovereignty within a united Canada, and she reiterated that position, nothing more. CBC has now quietly updated its article and added a correction stating the Premier did not specify which side she would take. In fact, the Premier also said Thomas Lukaszuk’s petition is a referendum on separation, not sovereignty within Canada. In addition, with the repealing of section 2(4) of the Citizens Initiative Act proposed yesterday, the Premier has opened the door for the Alberta Prosperity Project’s binding constitutional question: “Do you agree that the Province of Alberta shall become a Sovereign Country and cease to be a province in Canada?” Watch the clip yourself. The Premier’s words speak for themselves.

Here was my question to Danielle Smith on Saturday at the UCP AGM after her keynote speech. If Alberta, through a referendum, gave the Premier a new mandate for independence, would she follow through? Here is her response.

🇨🇦🍁 LOL! Alberta will hold a referendum to exit from Canada: "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?" — Premier of Alberta, Danielle Smith on the referendum in October, 19 "It's time to have a vote, understand the will of Albertans on this subject, and move on." — adds *Alberta is an oil-rich province, so they want to sell oil to the US directly, without Canada. What will be the Ottawa's response?

"I'm letting you know, I speak for the party, and what our party has said is that we support autonomy and sovreignty for Alberta in a united Canada." Chatting with Shaye Ganam, Premier Danielle Smith pushes back against UCP president Rob Smith's claim that the party will not have an opinion on sovereignty due to many members being in favour of it. Smith says she speaks for the party, and the party thus supports staying in Canada.

'Abandoned by Eastern Canada': Calgarians weigh in on separation referendum Syd Fizzard 🍁 hears what Calgarians think about Alberta separating from Canada and Premier Smith's changes to the provincial referendum system. Will Alberta leave Confederation? That's been the hot topic here in the province, increasingly so since Premier Danielle Smith proposed changes to the provincial referendum system which allows citizens to vote on issues that matter to them. One of those issues could be separation after the Liberals won a fourth consecutive federal election. Many in Alberta have had enough and are seriously considering moves to make this happen. That's exactly why Rebel News hit the streets of Calgary to see what the locals think about Premier Smith's referendum change, and whether or not it's something that might actually come to fruition. One man said by changing the legislation, she was giving the people of Alberta a chance for their voices to be heard — not sweeping the issue under the rug. Alberta feels “abandoned” by Eastern Canada, said another, adding that separation would be “very challenging.” Ultimately, he felt the province should have a referendum on the issue, given Ottawa's efforts to restrict oil and gas development. “She's a joke, that's all I have to say about her,” proclaimed one man about Premier Smith. Another, also critical of separation, claimed “nobody wants it” and that Premier Smith was trying to “force” the issue on people. Smith has maintained her view of a “sovereign Alberta within a united Canada.” A woman from Ontario said it was a “very strong” political move by the premier, comparing the situation to Quebec's separation referendum in the 1990s. “I'm hoping that Alberta chooses not to leave Canada because we are stronger as a nation,” she said. Premier Smith was doing “a really good job,” said a man from British Columbia who has family in Alberta, highlighting how “miserably” the federal government has treated the province over the last decade. The premier's efforts are demonstrating “it's important to pay attention to Alberta issues.” Another man who thought Canada was best to remain united cautioned that “separation might lead to a lot of downfalls, a lot of things people aren't ready for yet,” he said. “Not knowing what comes in the end, a lot of people might regret it.”
