Welp, time for some GoFundMe initiatives?
No big deal, but the Alberta government just increased the fee to submit a citizen initiated petition from $500 to $25, 000. After the separatism initiative was approved, but before Corb Lund's coal mining petition gets re-approved. No political shenanigans going on here.

“This is not simply a misunderstanding. It is a breach of good faith. It is a misrepresentation that affected the decisions made at the bargaining table & the understanding of Albertans.”

Not only have the courts ruled that the separatists referendum is unconstitutional and that separatism would require the consent of First Nations...
A SCATHING epilogue directly called out Alberta trying to legislate away the courts ability to issue a decision!

We knew that recall petitions were rattling the UCP. But clearly they are also rattled by Corb's no-coal initiative. If Bill 14 gets the expedited treatment that the UCP accorded Bill 2, then the UCP can kill Corb's initiative and make him restart under new, more complex rules.

Never since 1905, when Alberta became a province, was a petition with nearly half a million signatures tabled in the Legislature.
Never was a Premier presented with such clear choice between right and wrong.
