Alberta Independence Petition Surpasses 300,000 SignaturesMitch Sylvestre, the director of the group Stay Free Alberta, announced on Monday that the organization has collected more than 300,000 signatures to trigger a plebiscite on Alberta's independence.
The declaration was made to Edmonton's election section. The number of signatures collected significantly surpasses the minimum requirement of 178,000 needed to initiate such a vote.
This development marks a major milestone for the movement seeking a provincial referendum on separation from Canada. The petition's success in gathering a substantial number of signatures indicates considerable public interest in the issue.
