Citizen initiative application for anti-separation referendum approved
A Citizen Initiative application for an ani-separation referendum has been approved by Alberta’s Chief Electoral Officer, Gordon McClure.
As a result, a notice of initiative petition was issued by the chief electoral officer.
The initiative, led by Alberta citizen Thomas Lukaszuk, proposed the referendum that was received on June 5 with the question,” Do you agree that Alberta should remain in Canada?”
According to the application, Lukaszuk is motivated by the fact that Alberta’s separation is being actively discussed. In addition, since a referendum is imminent, it should be objective, according to the applicant. He also says the majority of Albertans are loyal to Canada and are opposed to separation.
