Open Letter to Democrats in Congress 3.12.26

 
 

RE:  IMPEACH PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP NOW OUT OF SELF-INTEREST

The myopic, anemic, feckless orthodoxy among “leadership” Democrats in Congress mulishly resists seeking to impeach President Donald Trump for a counterrevolution against July 4, 1776. Trump has crowned himself with infinite, extraconstitutional powers restrained only by his imaginary moral conscience that daily finds expression in industrial scale murders, criminal, unconstitutional wars of aggression, usurpation of the congressional power of the purse, frontal attacks on free speech and association, unconstitutional preemption of state voting laws and voting rights, and extortion, bribery, and obstruction of justice as a way of life at the White House.  The orthodoxy errantly postulates that initiating impeachment would spike Republican turnout in November and cost the Democrats a chance to regain control of the House and possibly the Senate.

Impeachment now would benefit Democrats. For starters, it would soar turnout among Democrats and independents seeking deliverance from the economic pain inflicted by President Trump’s imperial, plutocratic policies, for example, $1 billion daily for his criminal war of aggression against Iran in partnership with Israel a wild proposed $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget paid for by slashing nutrition and health programs, and starving public service and public works needs. Voters reward political courage and principle.  Spinelessness is not a winning calling card.

Further, some Republicans who have not drunk the Trump cool-aid would have an incentive to ditch the White House to retain their seats in November.  They may recall that Republicans who stood at the barricades with President Richard Nixon until his resignation forced by his own GOP under an impeachment cloud on August 9, 1974, were defeated in the following November congressional elections.

Moreover, the impeachment process itself, including shadow hearings, would educate the American people to President Trump’s infidelity to the American Revolution saluting unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness secured by the rule of law and separation of powers.  Impeachment would sound Mr. Trump’s danger to the Constitution like Paul Revere’s famous ride on April 18, 1775, immortalized by William Henry Longfellow.

Polls show a majority of Americans favor impeaching Mr. Trump now even without further education—55 to 37 percent.  Mr. Trump’s approval ratings have plunged:  58 percent disapproving his performance compared with 39 percent approving—a 19 percent margin. Additionally, nothing on the horizon before November economically or militarily looks promising for President Trump.

See the “Statement from Medical Professionals,” Congressional Record April 30, 2026, on Trump’s mental decline, as well as the detailed report from the New York City Bar, “The Crisis Deepens: Congress Must Act Now to Address Escalating Abuses of Executive Power,” March 9, 2026.

MEDICAL EXPERTS DECLARE PRESIDENT TOO UNSTABLE TO REMAIN IN OFFICE

Washington, DC —  On April 30, 2026, a group of 36 leading physicians and other doctors with expertise in mental health issued a statement calling for President Donald J. Trump’s immediate, lawful removal from office for medical reasons. His mental instability, coupled with his sole, unchecked authority to launch nuclear weapons, makes him a clear and present danger to the safety of all Americans, they declared. The U.S. Senate offices of Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) and Jack Reed (D-RI) entered their statement into the Congressional Record, Vol. 172, No. 76.

While they did not offer diagnoses, the experts were informed by voluminous evidence from the historical record of the president’s bizarre and impulsive behavior, rambling digressions, factual confusions, unexplained sudden changes of course in strategic matters, both national and international, and his deeply impaired judgment. Since we circulated our concerns among medical colleagues, Mr. Trump has exhibited more signs of grandiosity, e.g., posting images of himself on social media shaking hands with God, acting like Jesus, and dressing as a Pope. And he has continued nocturnal bingeing on social media posts that are filled with accusations of multiple conspiracies against him, as often as 150 times a night. Most worrisome are his outbursts of extreme, seemingly uncontrollable rage, such as his threat to destroy Iran, saying, “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.”

Current nuclear policy permits a president, and the president alone, to choose the time and target of a nuclear launch, without his orders being subject to review. The U.S. has a policy that permits a first use of nuclear weapons. These policies, combined with an emotionally unstable leader, is a formula for unspeakable tragedy waiting to happen. For this reason above all others, the group of medical experts urged that lawful steps be taken to remove the president from office.

Dispersing the Fog E59 - Sullivan Children, Deaths in NS Jails, Guests Shirley Heafey and Curt Allen

Adam Rodgers - Nova Scotia Lawyer

May 3, 2026
This week, we are excited to introduce a new guest, former RCMP Complaints Commissioner, Shirley Heafey. She is joined by former RCMP Deputy Commissioner Curt Allen to discuss her career, her interactions with senior RCMP leadership, and her role in the Robert Dziekański case (where she assisted the responding officers, who were eventually exonerated by an OPP report on the incident). 
 
Also discussed this week, the one year anniversary of the disappearance of Jack and Lilly Sullivan in rural Pictou County, and the latest RCMP statements. We also discuss the death of an inmate in custody, and the lack of information available for such situations. There was an emergency alert issued in Colchester County this week, near the area where the NS mass shootings took place, which is raising fresh questions about the lack of cooperation between the RCMP and Truro Police.

Trust that after you deleted my comments I called Ret'd Dep Comm Curt Allen AGAIN. 
 
 Need I say that he pissed me off bigtime? Shame on you all

The Honourable J. Michael MacDonald joined Stewart McKelvey as Counsel in April of 2019 following a distinguished career on the Bench. Mr. MacDonald was appointed a Justice of the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia in 1995 and the Associate Chief Justice three years later. He became the 22nd Chief Justice of Nova Scotia and the Chief Justice of the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal in 2004. During his time sitting on both courts, he wrote approximately 500 decisions. A member of the Canadian Judicial Council for twenty years, he has chaired several of its committees, most recently the Judicial Conduct Committee.

As Chief Justice, in 2014, Michael led the creation of the Nova Scotia Access to Justice Coordinating Committee, a group of legal professionals working to make Nova Scotia a national leader in access to justice. During his tenure as Chief Justice, he promoted several judicial outreach initiatives to engage the Indigenous and African Nova Scotia communities. His efforts to foster inclusion on the Bench include creating a judicial mentorship initiative for African Nova Scotian and Indigenous lawyers. He also volunteered with Phoenix Youth to host justice day camps for young people from racialized communities.

From 2020 to 2023, Michael chaired the Mass Casualty Commission, which culminated in 130 recommendations designed to make Nova Scotian and Canadian communities safer.

Michael’s access to justice initiatives have been recognized by Cape Breton University and Mount Allison University with honourary doctorate of laws degrees. The Canadian Bar Association (Nova Scotia Branch) has renamed its annual access to justice award the “J. Michael MacDonald Access to Justice Award” to honour Michael’s work in this area. In 2024, he received the Order of Nova Scotia, the Province’s highest honour, and in 2025, he was appointed as a Member of the Order of Canada, one of the country’s highest civilian distinctions.

He has presented at, and participated in, numerous legal conferences in Canada, the United States, and Europe, and has assisted the judiciaries in Kazakhstan and Ukraine. He is a regular guest speaker at Dalhousie’s Schulich School of Law and a recipient of the Queen’s Golden, Diamond and Platinum Jubilee medals, along with the King Charles III Coronation Medal.

Michael focuses his practice on alternative dispute resolution. He also volunteers with Phoenix Youth and presently chairs its board of directors.

S2162 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — SENATE April 30, 2026 
 
 STATEMENT FROM MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS Mr. WHITEHOUSE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to have printed in the RECORD the following statement from medical professionals and their names into the RECORD on behalf of myself and Senator REED. There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in the RECORD, as follows: MEDICAL CONCERNS ABOUT PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP AND HIS FITNESS FOR OFFICE The following is not a political statement. It is a medical one, made by individuals holding both conservative and liberal ideologies, identifying as both Republicans and Democrats, from different backgrounds, races, ethnicities, and religions. We are a group of neurologists, forensic psychiatrists, general psychiatrists, and other physicians, along with other mental health professionals, experienced in the diagnosis of cognitive disorders and in evaluating dangerousness to self and others. Among us are professionals whom the courts and criminal justice system regularly turn to for our expert opinion on these matters. We are also consulted by governments in matters related to national security and the psychological profiles of world leaders. Prior to the presidential election in the Fall of 2024, a statement assessing Donald J. Trump’s mental fitness for the presidency was issued. At that time, serious signs of cognitive decline were identified, and in our expert opinion, these signs warranted disqualification from office. It is our professional opinion, based on previous and ongoing assessments, that Donald Trump’s mental state since our 2024 statement has deteriorated even further. In keeping with our professional ethics, and for those of us who are physicians, with the Declaration of Geneva—the successor to the Hippocratic Oath that binds us to the humanitarian principles of medicine since the Nuremberg trials—we are compelled to warn of a President of the United States who is increasingly a danger to the public. We do not take our statement, and the responsibility that comes with making it, lightly. The President was not examined face to face, and he is not a patient of any member of our group. Rendering a formal diagnosis in this case is not our role. We have closely followed his behavior and his statements over the past year. Objectively observable signs of serious medical concern include: Marked deterioration in cognitive functioning, evidenced by disorganized and tangential speech, rambling digressions, factual confusions, unexplained sudden changes of course in strategic matters, both national and international, episodes of apparent somnolence during critical public proceedings. Grandiose and delusional beliefs, including assertions of infallibility, imagery of himself as Pope suggestive of a divine mission, being a mythical warrior hero, depicting himself as combat pilot—dropping feces on civilians, and claims that his decision-making authority is unlimited—with no need to consider domestic and international laws and constrained only by his ‘‘own morality.’’ Severely impaired judgment and impulse control, reflected in reckless threats of violence, advocacy of lethal force against civilians, encouragement of extrajudicial actions by armed supporters, repeated threats and often actions—judicial, prosecutorial, police, military, and by invoking emergency powers—against political opponents and others who disagree with him. Significant loss of self-control (disinhibition) and getting stuck on the same thoughts or actions, unable to let go or move on (perseveration), including seemingly compulsive, manic-like late-night communications—e.g., 150 social media posts in one night—fixation on perceived enemies, persecutory ideas, and prolonged, disproportionate attacks on specific individuals and institutions. Escalating violence that threatens national and global stability. As Commanderin-Chief of our military—more than 5,000 nuclear warheads in inter-continental missile silos, on submarines, and in bombers around the world, are ready for launch solely upon his order, and no one now has the authority to countermand his order. On August 7, 1974, as President Richard Nixon’s impeachment loomed, White House Chief of Staff, General Alexander Haig, was so alarmed by Nixon’s wandering the halls of the White House at night, sleepless, distraught, and heavily intoxicated, talking out loud to portraits of past presidents on the walls, that he alerted Defense Secretary James Schlesinger. Equally alarmed, Schlesinger directed Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General George S. Brown, that any military orders from Nixon—especially nuclear ones—first be cleared through him or Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. It has been reported that the nuclear ‘‘football’’ that contains the codes for a nuclear launch was then quietly removed from Nixon’s control. The public and those with the power to address such potentially catastrophic conditions must ask themselves if they—and we— are confident that officials such as Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio would do the same. It is our professional opinion that the behaviors of Donald Trump, tragically, are neither momentary lapses nor political theater. It is our professional opinion that they reflect a rapidly worsening, realityuntethered, increasingly dangerous decline. If we were called upon under the 25th Amendment to judge the President’s present ability to discharge the duties of his office, we would have to conclude that he lacks the capacity to do so. For the reasons cited above, emphasizing that he presents a clear and present danger to our country and to the world, it is our expert opinion that Donald J. Trump is mentally unfit to be the President of the United States, and that steps to remove him from office must be undertaken with the greatest urgency, with vital responsibilities on the shoulders of those in positions of leadership.

Carney's private meeting with Obama and Alex Soros raises serious questions

Juno News 
 
May 19, 2026
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s private Toronto meeting with Barack Obama and Alex Soros is raising major questions, including why such a high-profile gathering took place behind closed doors and why so little has been publicly disclosed about what was discussed. 
 
Independent journalist Dan Dicks joins Marc Patrone to unpack what’s known about the secretive meeting, why it has sparked backlash online, and what it could signal about Carney’s political priorities just months into his leadership. 
 
Dicks connects the meeting to Carney’s longstanding ties to global institutions like the World Economic Forum, arguing the optics reinforce concerns that Canada’s prime minister is more closely aligned with international elites than with ordinary Canadians. 
 
He says the meeting raises broader questions about Canada’s sovereignty, its relationship with the United States, and whether Carney’s vision for the country is being shaped more by global power brokers than by the voters who elected him.

Indigenous treaty rights meet Alta. separation fight


It was more than a little ironic that the rogue Alberta separatists who are attempting to trigger a binding referendum were stopped in their tracks by Indigenous treaty rights. Ironic, but entirely justified.

The irony came to the fore in a decision handed down by Alberta Court of King’s Bench Justice Shaina Leonard, who found the province’s chief electoral officer erred in approving a citizen-led initiative to hold a referendum on Alberta independence because it ignored Indigenous treaty rights. The legal challenge to the referendum came from Alberta’s Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation.

Leonard found the separatist campaign — which relied on an Alberta law that compels the government to hold a referendum after collecting signatures from at least 10 per cent of the electorate — violated constitutional “duty to consult” First Nations on any measure that affects treaty rights.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's posture on independence is erratic, disingenuous and sets the stage for a head-on collision with one of the most important legal concepts in our constitution. (The Canadian Press files)

That duty, contained in Section 35 of the Constitution Act, does not prohibit governments from making decisions that impact treaty rights, but it does require prior consultation with First Nations and makes any violations legally actionable.

The reaction from Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has been nothing short of scandalous. Smith announced her government would appeal Leonard’s “anti-democratic” ruling to protect the sanctity of the citizens’ referendum law.

Smith occupies an untenable place in the debate over Alberta independence. It was the Smith government that amended the citizen referendum law to lower the number of signatures required to trigger a vote.

And while Smith and her government claim they want to remain in Canada, Alberta wields the threat of separation as a truncheon to get concessions from Ottawa on the approval of new pipelines and to weaken environmental regulations.

Smith apparently sees so much political value in the threat of separation that she has pledged to unilaterally add a question about independence to a roster of other questions she plans on putting before citizens in a special referendum this fall.

The Alberta premier’s posture on independence is erratic, disingenuous and sets the stage for a head-on collision with one of the most important legal concepts in our constitution.

Treaty rights have been given special status in constitutional law as an acknowledgment the land belonged to Indigenous people before Europeans settled here. And that the terms of the treaties remain foundational legal agreements that largely have not been fulfilled by the federal and provincial governments.

Could Indigenous leaders use treaty rights to stop Alberta separation? Failure to consult would create an insurmountable legal barrier to separation. Even if there was consultation, First Nation leaders in Alberta have already said they would use all available legal means to prevent the province from leaving Canada.

It’s important to note that support for Alberta separatism is, according to opinion polls, insufficient to win a referendum vote. It is quite likely Smith, who clearly enjoys needling Ottawa with the threat of separation, doesn’t want the referendum to succeed but also doesn’t want to deny separatist elements in her own party lest they rebel.

That leaves Smith in a weird and untenable position.

Smith has said she will appeal the decision. (Her favourite way to short-circuit Canada’s Charter of Rights, using the notwithstanding clause, doesn’t apply to Section 35 Treaty Rights.)

However, she does so with the full knowledge that a strong majority of Albertans don’t want to leave, and that ultimately, Indigenous treaty rights should and almost certainly would complicate and possibly even halt actual separation.

For asserting their rights and crippling the campaign for Alberta separation, it’s unlikely that Indigenous people want or need the thanks of a grateful nation.

They wouldn’t mind, however, if everyone finally committed to honouring the treaties that may ultimately save this nation.

MARTY UP NORTH: Alberta independence blocked: What should happen next?

Western Standard 
 
May 17, 2026
Marty asks what comes next for Alberta independence after the court ruling, and whether the rules around a referendum are being changed as the movement gains momentum. He also looks at the Alberta Prosperity Project encouraging supporters to buy UCP memberships, Alberta’s new industrial carbon price deal with Ottawa, wildfire evacuations near Whitecourt, new teacher funding, census boycott calls, and major political shakeups in Canada and abroad.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is trapped between two competing political realities. On one side, she is claiming major victories by negotiating pipeline and industrial carbon pricing agreements with Ottawa. On the other hand, separatists inside the United Conservative Party are demanding a referendum on Alberta independence and threatening her leadership if she refuses. 
 
In this conversation with political scientist Duane Bratt, we examine: 
• Why Smith’s political strategy may now be contradictory 
• The growing influence of separatists inside the UCP 
• How the court decision changed the referendum fight • The parallels between Alberta separatism and MAGA politics 
• Allegations of misinformation and foreign interference 
• Why this could become the defining crisis of Smith’s premiership 
 
Can Danielle Smith hold her coalition together — or is Alberta heading into political chaos?

Danielle Smith rejects Alberta judge’s ruling against separation petition as "anti-democratic"

Global News 
 
May 13, 2026
Premier Danielle Smith is rejecting the ruling of an Alberta judge who on Wednesday quashed a separatist petition and says the province will appeal the court ruling. In her written judgment, Justice Shaina Leonard ruled the petition should never have been issued because the provincial government failed in its duty to consult with First Nations and Alberta’s separation would be a violation of treaty rights. Premier Danielle Smith, during an unrelated announcement in Edmonton shortly after the decision came down, called the court’s ruling incorrect in law and anti-democratic. “I would say that it is a single judge who has made a decision, and we have now 700,000 Albertans — whether they’re on the remain side or the leave side — who’ve said that they want to have this public debate,” said Smith.

Alberta separatist group ordered to pull down list with millions of voters' personal information

Alberta separatist group ordered to remove electoral list with voters' personal data

April 30|
Duration 3:49
A separatist group in Alberta posted an electors database online, containing the personal information of millions of people registered and eligible to vote in the province. Elections Alberta sought a court order to have the list removed and has been granted a temporary injunction.

The Latest

  • Elections Alberta won a court order on Thursday to force an Alberta separatist group to pull down a public, searchable database detailing the personal information of millions of Alberta voters.
  • Court heard an Elections Alberta investigation determined the electoral list was legitimately provided to the Republican Party of Alberta, a provincial party supporting Alberta independence.
  • Centurion Project, a pro-sovereignty group registered as a third-party advertiser in Alberta, posted the database containing the information.
  • The group said it has shut down the app and will fully comply with Elections Alberta’s investigation.

Alberta privacy commissioner calls posting of voter information online 'very serious'

Late Thursday afternoon, the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta issued a statement about the developments.

"My office is still working to determine the facts of this case," said Commissioner Diane McLeod, who noted her office was informed by Elections Alberta earlier in the day about a potential breach. "However, it appears this matter may fall outside my jurisdiction." 

"My office does not have jurisdiction over personal information contained in the List of Electors that may have been disclosed by a political party. This is because the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) does not apply to political parties."

McLeod said her office will continue to look to figure out if it has jurisdiction over the Centurion Project and, if it does, it will investigate to determine whether any violations of PIPA occurred.

"What happened here is very serious," she said. "More than 2.9 million Albertans have had their personal information breached. For some of these individuals there is likely a real risk of significant harm given that their home address and phone numbers have been made public.”

McLeod added that she believes there is "a concerning gap in Alberta’s privacy laws as it relates to the collection, use and disclosure of personal information by political parties."

"This incident demonstrates that it is high time for political parties to be made subject to PIPA."


Elections Alberta confirms the database has been removed

In a statement issued this afternoon, Elections Alberta officials said the portion of the Centurion Project website providing access to the electors list is no longer available. 

The agency said it's working with other agencies, including law enforcement and the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta, and is "taking every possible action to protect and recover the information."

The agency also shared this timeline of its response since Monday.

  • Monday, April 27: Elections Alberta received information suggesting Centurion was in possession of the List of Electors provided to a registered political party. It launched an investigation. 
  • Tuesday, April 28: The chief electoral officer sent an email to individuals associated with the Centurion Project advising that if they were accessing a List of Electors, they must immediately "cease and desist."
  • Wednesday, April 29: Elections Alberta representatives, accompanied by police, attended a Centurion Project meeting in Edmonton to personally deliver the cease-and-desist letter.
  • Thursday, April 30: Elections Alberta and its lawyers successfully applied for a temporary injunction at Court of Kings Bench in Edmonton.

That’s a wrap on our live coverage today, but this is not the end of our reporting on the issue.

We'll continue to provide updates in our story here. We'll also have ongoing coverage at CBC.ca/Edmonton.

The separatist group that posted the database has responded

Trevor Howlett

We’ve just received a statement from The Centurion Project Ltd. about the alleged misuse of voter information:

"The Centurion Project Ltd is a company that was established to help train volunteers on how to be better citizens and to impact the political process. To be clear, the Centurion App is strictly used by volunteers to find people they personally know in a database. They are not given access to any phone numbers or emails and are encouraged only to contact and claim people they already know. We have relied on a third party to provide us with datasets for this tool. We are aware of recent allegations regarding the app’s data. We have taken action to shut down the app until we can ensure that the dataset is compliant with Alberta and federal privacy laws. We plan to fully comply with Elections Alberta’s investigation."

As details emerge about the alleged misuse of voter information, we have yet to hear an official response from the Alberta government.

Premier Danielle Smith is on a 10-day tour of Europe to promote trade and investment. This morning, she participated in a fireside discussion at Chatham House in London about energy, critical minerals, defence and technology, according to a government news release.

In response to questions about the potential misuse of voter information and privacy implications for vulnerable people, the press secretary for Alberta's justice minister referred questions to the United Conservative Party (UCP).

UCP spokesperson Dave Prisco said the party did not provide the list of electors to any unauthorized outside group or individual, and referred additional questions to Elections Alberta.

Some Albertans are angered by the database

Josh McLean

I'm in Calgary's University District getting reaction from people on the street about this story. There's been a common thread among their responses — shock and anger that voter information was shared without permission.

People are confused as to how this information was accessed and they’re not happy that the information was available so easily. 

The people I spoke to want to see consequences for those involved in accessing the list of electors. 

What the database was going to be used for

In addition to publishing the database, the Centurion Project also posted a set of instructions guiding people in how to use it.

The step-by-step, nine-point guide, posted on the Centurion website, showed users how to search for names and “claim” electors whom they would then survey about their support for Alberta’s independence movement. 

According to the guide, the responses of each elector would then be tracked through the digital dashboard.

Its stated purpose was to build lists of electors who could be contacted as supporters. 

What's a phone book?

Wallis Snowdon

The Centurion Project is led by longtime political organizer David Parker.

Parker has not yet responded to a CBC News request for comment. However, he was posting on X on Thursday.

One post showed a picture of a “white pages” phone book with the caption: "Look everyone! I found names and addresses in a nefarious document called a phone book! Call the cops!"

In 2010, the Yellow Pages Group said residential phone directories — often referred to as the white pages — would only be available upon request in many major Canadian cities, including Edmonton and Calgary. 

According to Centurion’s social media accounts, the party’s goal is to “recruit, equip and mobilize a team of community leaders across the province of Alberta to take on the task of winning Alberta's sovereignty.” 

The group, which has offices in Calgary, has upcoming “Operation Secure Independence” events throughout the province.

Centurion registered with Elections Alberta as a third-party advertiser on April 24. It is among a number of pro-separatist groups that want Alberta to gain independence from the rest of Canada. 

Albertans should be ‘deeply alarmed,’ says NDP leader

Michelle Bellefontaine

I’m a provincial affairs reporter based in Edmonton. 

Provincial NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi said Albertans should be angry and “deeply alarmed” by how easy people could access their private information while the database was online. 

“There are very, very serious implications for this kind of behaviour,” Nenshi said in response to reporters’ questions at an unrelated news conference in Calgary. 

“It's dangerous. It puts people's lives at risk and it puts our democracy at risk.”

Nenshi also pushed back at suggestions from Centurion Project leader David Parker, posted today on X, that the electoral list contains the same information seen in a public phone book. That sentiment was also in posts from other Albertans who support separatism. 

Nenshi said the voters’ list includes additional information.

He called on the provincial government to ensure Elections Alberta has enough funding to properly conduct an investigation. 

“Every single Albertan who votes has had their personal data breached by these people,” he said. “This is not a joking matter.”

Republican Party leader says it's ‘fully complying’

In an interview with The Canadian Press, the leader of the Republican Party said it hadn't received official communication from Elections Alberta.

Cameron Davies said the party has issued a notice to the Centurion Project that any information the group may have allegedly received — if it came from the party — is not to be used.

"We were proactive on that before the injunction today, and we'll be fully complying with Elections Alberta," Davies told The Canadian Press. 

Independence petition underway

Trevor Howlett

Alberta independence has been a hot topic in recent years, with efforts underway to force a referendum on the topic. 

A group called Stay Free Alberta has a petition underway that aims to trigger a referendum on the province separating from Canada, using provincial legislation. The group says it has already collected more than the required 178,000 signatures.

The petition has a deadline of May 2 and has not been certified. A judge has ordered a month-long stay preventing Alberta’s chief electoral officer from certifying the results.

Another petition, called Forever Canadian, seeks to make it an official policy for Alberta to stay in Canada. That petition was deemed successful in the fall. Alberta law requires the legislature to refer such successful policy petitions to an all-party legislative committee.

Neither petition has made it onto a referendum ballot. 

The province is set to hold a referendum in the fall on several other topics proposed by the government.
