Alberta belongs in Canada. This historic, citizen‑initiated petition gives Albertans a clear, democratic voice to affirm it.
What is at stake
Talk of separation, even as a negotiating tactic or as a step toward joining the United States, creates damaging uncertainty. It chills investment, drives away talent, and deepens social divisions at home. The longer the question lingers, the higher the economic and community cost for Alberta, and for Canada.
This citizen‑initiated petition is how Albertans give a clear, democratic answer: that we remain in Canada.
A strong result reduces uncertainty, restores stability, and lets us focus on practical solutions that move Alberta forward.
