Petition in Central Alberta for Province to Leave Canada

Large crowds gathered outside community halls in Red Deer and Eckville, Alberta, for town meetings on provincial independence from Canada, organized by the Stay Free Alberta campaign. Attendees learned about the referendum petition and expressed a desire for change, citing concerns about being unheard and federal overreach. Mitch Sylvestre, CEO of the Alberta Prosperity Project, is leading the signature collection, aiming for nearly 178,000 signatures. The campaign reflects significant discontent with federal policies and seeks to empower Albertans to govern themselves.
