That's 55% over the threshold! It's also 15% of all eligible voters in Alberta. Take that, Danielle Smith. And take that, Donald Trump. 51st state my foot.

Danielle Smith has clearly stated that she believes AB should stay in Canada. She's allowing the separatists to spout off and rattle their sabres a) for bargaining power with Carney in the short term, b) to allow Albertans to put this idea to rest once and for all.

Smith said her job is to convince Albertans that Canada works. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/08/alberta-premier-to-trump-stay-out-of-albertas-separatist-fight-00598068

"As most Albertans know, I have repeatedly stated I do not support Alberta separating from Canada. I personally still have hope that there is a path forward for a strong and sovereign Alberta within a united Canada." https://www.alberta.ca/article-alberta-next-albertans-to-decide-path-forward-for-the-province
