Alberta’s election agency announced Monday it has approved a proposed referendum question on the province separating from Canada.

The question seeks a yes or no answer to: “Do you agree that the province of Alberta should cease to be a part of Canada to become an independent state?”

Elections Alberta says the proponent — the Alberta Prosperity Project and its chief executive officer, Mitch Sylvestre — have until early January to appoint a financial officer for its petition campaign, after which signature collection can begin.

    What’s the point?

    Some states further South should be considering this.

      The Trump-cult ones, not all Albertans, want this, so they can join Trump’s rampaging of the “woke” Canada, after Trump annexes Canada, using Alaska & Greenland to cut-off all trade-by-ocean to us ( NO food imports to Canada, by land or sea, … how long will Canada live?? )

      It’s part of Putin’s & Trump’s & CCP’s divide-and-conquer imperialism…

        Yeah I heard that MAGA-adjacent shit is happening in Canada too, I guess most of it in Alberta? Is it the Texas of Canada? Does it have oil?
