Alberta is lowering the required threshold for citizens to initiate a provincewide referendum, including on separation.

A non-profit group touring Alberta promoting independence plans to start a petition under the new rules.

The group aims to gather 177,000 signatures within 120 days to put the question on a ballot to voters: Do you agree the province of Alberta shall become a sovereign country?.
