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.
