Potential Alberta separation referendum question referred to judge for approval

BY The Canadian Press, Jul 29, 2025 2:06 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

A potential referendum question on separating from Canada has been referred to a judge to confirm it doesn't violate the Constitution.

The proposed question seeks a yes or no answer to whether people agree with Alberta becoming its own country.

Alberta's chief electoral officer says provincial laws require potential referendum questions to respect more than 30 sections of the Constitution, including the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

The question was submitted earlier this month by Mitch Sylvestre with the Alberta Prosperity Project, which has been touring the province to promote independence.
