EDMONTON – A former deputy premier of Alberta says the success of a petition he circulated to make it official policy for the province to stay in Canada should signal to Premier Danielle Smith that she needs to put separatism to bed.

Thomas Lukaszuk says his petition has collected more than 456,000 signatures — smashing the province’s 294,000 signature-threshold required to initiate a possible referendum.


“(Those) 456,365 Albertans have said that they don’t want anything to do with separatism,” Lukaszuk said during a news conference Tuesday, where he stood in front of a wall of 61 stacked boxes full of signed petitions.

“We’re asking our premier to do the right thing and Alberta MLAs to vote on this issue and put separatism to bed once and for all.”

The gun ban is concerning as the govmint can digitally cancel people until they comply.

So, a little under half a million Alberans want to remain in Canada. Is it fair to presume the remainder don't?
