MORGAN: Alberta’s independence movement must dump its bad actors before voters dump it
May 10, 2026
Posted 2 hours ago by
Alberta is at a turning point in history. Mitch Sylvestre with Stay Free Alberta presented over 301,000 signatures to the Elections Alberta office, demanding that a referendum be held on Alberta's independence. The signature collection process was meticulous, as over 7,000 volunteers registered, underwent training, and then demanded identification for every signature submitted to the petition.
The bar to trigger a referendum was set at 178,000 signatures, and it was comfortably surpassed. It was a remarkable accomplishment achieved during the darkest, coldest months of winter. Anybody claiming it was an easy thing to achieve is either lying or has never petitioned before.
