The three most interesting paragraphs from this story, IMO:
"The Stay Free Alberta petitioners say they have collected 301,620 signatures, well over the 178,000 threshold that can prompt the province to consider a referendum question. "
"Gordon McClure, chief electoral officer, has said that [the verification] process will now also include a search for fake names seeded in copies of voter lists — designed as a mechanism to prove if improper use of the electoral list has been used.”
"A pro-unity ‘Forever Canadian’ petition had 404,293 signatures verified in December. That citizen initiative wants the government to consider making it official policy for Alberta to remain a part of Canada.”
