Summary
The Alberta Prosperity Project, led by Jeffrey Rath, announced a proposed referendum question on Alberta’s independence from Canada during a press conference on May 12, 2025. The group aims to secure enough support for a vote this year, having garnered 220,000 pledges towards their goal of 600,000. They plan to educate Albertans on the benefits of sovereignty, including lower taxes and increased oil and gas development, while pushing Premier Danielle Smith to hold the referendum following a six-month wait for federal negotiations.
