Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has announced she would allow a citizen-led referendum on whether the province should separate from Canada if a petition garners enough signatures. While Smith personally opposes Alberta leaving Canada, she emphasized her commitment to respecting the democratic process. The move comes amid growing separatist sentiment in Alberta, particularly following recent national political developments. If the petition is successful, a referendum could be held as early as next year. This development raises questions about national unity and the future relationship between Alberta and the rest of Canada.
