Loading ...Alberta to hold fall referendum on whether to have binding referendum on separating from Canada
In a pre-recorded speech broadcast Thursday evening, Smith said a question will be added to a provincewide referendum in October that will ask, “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?”
Smith said a vote in favour of separation doesn’t trigger the process, but will instead allow Alberta to start a legal process required to hold a binding referendum.

More political bullshit – surprising coming from Smith. thought she was a straighshooter – guess not.
If Alberta does not separate immediately after the referendum passage both Canada and Alberta are fucked. The more time the feds get the worse they will punish Alberta for even considering separation. When passed (hope hope hope) Alberta needs to immediately declare independence and refuse to deal with Ottawa. Simply cease all payments (tribute payments) to Ottawa and make financial deals with the USA to ensure recognition and success as an independent state.
Alberta fails to do so it will get wiped out by Ottawa with the rest of Canada. You get one kick at this can, and it is in October.
