🚨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.show more

"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.

NOW: Premier Smith's new referendum question: "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?" She adds, "Because this proposed referendum question does not directly trigger separation but, if successful, would ask Alberta's government to commence the legal process necessary to hold a binding referendum on the matter."

🇨🇦🍁 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 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

🚨 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

'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.

Premier Danielle Smith hellbent on having a separation referendum!! Thomas Hon. Thomas A. Lukaszuk: "As we know, our Premier is hellbent to have a referendum because the statistics are different within her own UCP party, looks like majority of United Conservative Party of Alberta party supporters and a large contingent of MLA's are pro separatist and they demand a referendum and the Premier is somewhat beholden to them." 💯

HUGE win for Alberta sovereignty! Premier Smith’s updated Citizen Initiative Act slashes the referendum signature requirement from 600K to just 177K—10% of last election’s voters—and extends collection from 90 to 120 days. These changes make a referendum on Alberta independence far more achievable, empowering Albertans to take control of their future. With a lower bar and more time, the push for separation is now within reach. #AlbertaFirst #AlbertaIndependence

BREAKING - Danielle Smith says that Elections Alberta has brought in “new and more stringent verification procedures”. In other words she is happy to accept the results of the Lukaszuk Petition - but will do everything she can to kill the real Alberta Independence Petition. That is the amount of respect she has for the hundreds of thousands of people in her UCP Base who signed the petition.
