flag Alberta separatists claim UCP members support independence referendum; petition needs 178K signatures by May.

flag A leader of Alberta’s separatist movement, Jeff Rath, claims some members of Premier Danielle Smith’s UCP caucus have signed a petition seeking a referendum on Alberta leaving Canada, though he did not name them or specify how many. flag The petition, requiring nearly 178,000 signatures by May, asks if Albertans support independence. flag Smith’s office declined to confirm or deny the claims, stating the UCP is focused on strengthening Alberta within Canada. flag Opposition leaders urged UCP members to come forward, with B.C.’s David Eby accusing separatists of treason for meeting U.S. officials, though Rath denied any formal agreements or foreign funding. flag The petition has drawn widespread public interest, with large crowds signing in cold weather across the province.
