The ruling comes after a group leading a petition for Alberta independence said it had gathered enough signatures to trigger a province-wide vote.

    Isn’t separation what Alberta wanted? As per polls

      “As per polls”. This just means they hired a company and told them which results they wanted so the company made sure to ask the right poll questions to the right people. Polls are the farthest thing from the truth and are only used to sway public opinion while fooling people that this is what most of the populous are thinking.

        Im amazed in 2026 people still take polls seriously.

        You pay for a pre determined result, they poll <1000 by cherry picking then media says “most Canadians think…”

        What would you consider an objective way to determine what the people believe?

          Ask more than 1000 in a country of over 40 million.

          How about post-election results? That is absolutely a way to determine what people believe. Why do you need to know someone’s answer before they give it?

      It becomes skewed invalid metrics, by how they target the people to question.

      Same as in USA when they do landline polls…Mostly its old folks with landlines who may have old opinions compared to young cellphone users.
