Alberta separatists said Monday they have formally submitted almost 302,000 signatures to try to trigger a referendum on the province leaving Canada.
The group needed 178,000 signatures to force the province to consider such a vote.
The question of separation could go on a provincewide ballot as early as October, as Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has said she would move forward if enough names are gathered and verified. Smith has said she personally does not support the oil-rich province leaving Canada.
A “yes” vote would not trigger independence automatically. Negotiations with the federal government would have to take place and Daniel Béland, a political science professor at McGill University in Montreal, said some Indigenous groups who are already using the courts to prevent an independence referendum would use venues including the courts to stop independence from happening.

The "First" Peoples are akin to our Native Americans and don't want the free stuff to end but little do they know, they will be FAR better off if Alberta separates...
A couple Albertans on another forum wholeheartedly support separation as they are tired of rich Albertan tax dollars going to provide "free" stuff to slackers in other provinces... They could easily be Montanans regarding their political beliefs.
The other thing that people up here are supporting is the Bridger Pipeline Project from Alberta to Wyoming.
Bridger is constructing a new ~650-mile 36” pipeline from the US-Canada border in Montana to the Guernsey crude oil terminal hub in Guernsey, Wyoming.
This will move 550,000 barrels per day!
Over 70% of route parallels already existing pipeline corridors.
The project does not cross reservation land. Which solves many problems!

Good morning. Sunny skies, calm air. The temp at 8 am was 47, it’s now 58. Later today we should be low 70s. An excellent spring day.
Have yourselves a great day.

It is very fortunate that California and is having a week of beautiful weather, & as I speak my wife is putting on the final coat of trim paint in the office.
I have 1 million things to do today, including putting everything back up in the office that has a screw in it, including the ceiling fan it’s trim three doors six wall plates and the venetian blinds.
I’m going to post this here just in case somebody missed it. It’s worth watching again and again.

Good morning to all of yous. 60 and foggy with a high in the mid 80s this afternoon. These show a typical sight for us at the lake and what the fog looks like right now. Visibility now is about 100 yards. Tonight into tomorrow morning we have an 80% chance of thunderstorms, with a potential for them being severe. Imagine that, springtime in Oklahoma.
Have a great day and be safe.
