It’s my understanding that a referendum petition is about the phrasing of the question that’s presented to go on the referendum ballot.
The pro-Canada group “won” the right to petition for their question to go on the ballot as they submitted before the anti-Canada traitors could. Basically, stay in Canada vs leave Canada.
Am I just an idiot, or is the safest thing for AB to do is not sign regardless of who is asking? If this petition gets enough sigs all it means is that this will be the question asked on the ballot for referendum instead of the leave question right? But if it fails, there won’t be a referendum at all.
Please correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems to me this is being proposed as a petition to stay in Canada, but it’s really a petition to trigger a referendum with “stay in Canada” as the question instead of “leave Canada”.
I hate to be so pessimistic, but seeing fascism come back down south means being defensive. I’m questioning if this is happening:
There are 10 Albertans. 2 want to separate. They need signatures from 4 to add it to the ballot for referendum. Rather than try and fail, spin the question and go after the 8 that don’t want to separate. All they need is to convince half to sign as “patriotic” and it goes to referendum.
It’s more so that there are 10 Albertans, 3 want to leave, and they need signatures from 2 to add it to the ballot for a referendum.

There would certainly be enough people to get 177 thousand signatures within 4 months.
