Alberta's new Democratic Party just dropped a fresh campaign called for Alberta, for Canada, pushing back hard against the separatist vibes in the province. It's all about getting folks to sign up online and join a day of action on April 25. NDP leader Nihid Nenshi says it's open to everybody, no party membership required, just straight up patriotism to keep Alberta in the Federation. This comes right before a likely referendum on October 19th, though no separation question is locked in yet. Nenshi's keeping it separate from Thomas Lucas' looks for ever-Canadian petition, and it's timed with court hearings kicking off this week. A first nation group, including Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation, is challenging the referendum process, arguing it messes with treaty rights, and there's no. Need to rush a vote on splitting Canada? Folks are fired up on both sides. Last week, Stae Free Alberta hit the signature goal for their separation referendum push ahead of the May 2nd deadline. Meanwhile, Lukashuk's anti-separation petition crushed it back in December with over 400,000

verified signatures blowing past the two, 194,000 needed. The NDP's been calling out Premier Daniel Smith and her United Conservative Party for co-zing up to separatists, especially after one of their MLA's. Pushed the petition, Nenshi's polling lessons from Brexit's mess and Quebec's close calls in 1980 and 1995 were the no-side barely one with, 50.58%. Court battles are just heating up, signatures are stacking, and the pro-Canada crowds mobilizing fast, so keep your eyes on Alberta as this unity. Fight plays out. That's your Calvary News today update. AI powered and always on.
