Canadian Judge Pauses the Certification of the Results in the Citizen Petition for the Independence of Oil-Rich Alberta Province
Will Alberta leave decadent Canada behind?
The process of forcing a referendum on oil-rich Alberta’s independence from woke Canada is going so well that the Canadian liberal establishment has started openly trying to derail the process.

The decision follows an application from two of three First Nations groups who say they believe the petition process threatens treaty rights. The Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation (ACFN) and the Blackfoot Confederacy have been seeking a stay on the petition campaign pending a final ruling.”
Alberta’s lawyers told an Edmonton court Thursday that collecting signatures for a separation referendum doesn’t violate treaty rights and no duty to consult has arisen yet.

If you’ve already signed, find people who haven’t and encourage them to sign. pic.twitter.com/sSrW4RAVWm
