- Alberta separatists say they have enough signatures for referendum on leaving Canada
Alberta separatists have collected enough signatures to trigger a referendum on leaving Canada, with almost 302,000 signatures submitted. The province's premier, Danielle Smith, has said she would move forward with the vote if enough names are gathered and verified. A 'yes' vote would not trigger independence automatically, as negotiations with the federal government would be required.
