Well his outlet is "Rebel" News, so is anyone surprised?

How does one answer this question?

“Should Alberta remain a province of Canada or should the Government of Alberta commence the legal process required under the Canadian Constitution to hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada?”

The other 9 questions that have already been included in the October 19 referendum have been worded to meet the criteria of (as given in the Orders in Council authorizing it) ". . . to which the response from an elector who votes in the referendum must be either “yes” or “no”".

There are "two" questions. Did the wording of the question that the premier stated will be added originate with the committee of idiots or did she and her staff mash that together? So are we going to see "11" questions on the referendum in October and will the form of response be different from other questions? I foresee confusion in the voting process and moreso in the counting (it will be a long, long night) with increased potential for the usual suspects to claim foul.

Some of the nuts and bolts for the referendum.

Ballots and Questions
There will be ten questions in the referendum. Each question will be on a separate colour-coded and numbered ballot. Electors will receive their ballots in the order set out on Elections Alberta’s website. This means Question 10, “Should Alberta remain a province in Canada, or should the Government of Alberta commence the legal process required under the Canadian Constitution to hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada?”, will be provided to electors first. Electors will be given all ballots at the same time, in an ordered stack. Once they have filled in their ballots, electors will deposit them into separate, colour-coded ballot boxes assigned to each question. Elections Alberta anticipates there will be approximately 34 million ballots used.

And among the 10 questions, specifically the one that most concerns this thread.

Bell: Alberta separatists trounced in poll, Smith's UCP up 9 points on Nenshi NDP

Leger poll shows Alberta separatists face uphill battle. On the referendum question it's Canada 68 per cent, Independent Alberta 24 per cent

calgaryherald.com

Alberta should remain a province of Canada. 68 per cent.

The government of Alberta should commence the legal process required to hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada. 24 per cent.

The rest are undecided or prefer not to answer.

Same poll has the UCP at 49 percent, NDP at 40.

66 percent of UCP voters support how Smith has handled this.

Less than half of Albertans would stay in a newly independent alberta.

Safe to say Canada is safe, but Danielle Smith is going to get away with it.

It’s pure spite at this point, nothing in Alberta is presently working correctly. She is good at moving conversations the way she would like but her returns on everything the government touches from health care to schooling are abysmal. Municipalities are tired of this government.
