About the Alberta Election on October 19
The Alberta election scheduled for October 19 has been mischaracterized as the 2026 independence referendum. While the petition threshold was met, the ballot does not constitute a referendum on separation.
Question 10 determines whether a binding referendum may be held at a subsequent date. A majority for Option 1 would cancel that possibility and Alberta would remain entirely under the control of Ottawa. A majority for Option 2 would express a non-binding support for a referendum while preserving leverage for a subsequent binding vote. Voters must select only one option on question 10 or the vote on that question will be invalidated. It is advisable to complete Question 10 first to avoid confusion with Questions 1–9, which are binary Yes/No items on distinct Alberta-focused reforms unrelated to independence. Although those reforms are likely to be broadly supported, their inclusion on the same ballot has generated significant public misunderstanding about the election's objective.
Voting day is approaching quickly. Whether in favour of independence or not, it would be wise to take the time to get informed and understand the intensity of the pro-independence sentiment in Alberta. It reflects legitimate concerns regarding Canada undergoing a systemic deterioration under an overreaching federal administration exhibiting dictatorial tendencies and pursuing a perilous agenda. Mark Carney is a key member of the board of the Davos globalist elite, the World Economic Forum and he often mentions pursuing this agenda they call “The New World Order”. One may want to think twice before giving up their right to have a voice too quickly. By voting for Option 2 on question 10, you would still have a choice if and when a binding referendum takes place. This may be your very last chance to have a voice.
Following a win for Option 2, should Albertans secure a pro-independence binding referendum, there is unfortunately no assurance that either the provincial or federal government would accept the result. Mark Carney has publicly indicated that he will not honor a majority of votes in favor of independence and the government of Alberta has used public funds to campaign against the possibility of having a binding referendum. There is comparable uncertainty regarding the reforms proposed in questions 1 through 9, should they receive majority support. These facts alone should trigger red flags (not the maple leaf type) and raise questions of fairness and conflict of interest. More reasons to vote for Option 2.
