2026 Alberta Referendum
October 19, 2026 is the big day.
There will be 10 questions for you to vote on. We encourage you to vote yes on questions 1-9 and choose Option 2 on question 10. Learn why in the videos below.
Question 1
"Do you support the Government of Alberta taking increased control over immigration for the purposes of decreasing immigration to more sustainable levels, prioritizing economic migration and giving Albertans first priority on new employment opportunities?"
Yes! We share our experiences that make us feel it's time for a more sustainable immigration policy.
Question 2
"Do you support the Government of Alberta introducing a law mandating that only Canadian citizens, permanent residents and individuals with an Alberta-approved immigration status will be eligible for provincially-funded programs, such as health care, education and other social services?"
Yes! We want to make sure our infrastructure can support everyone properly.
Question 3
"Assuming that all Canadian citizens and permanent residents continue to qualify for social support programs as they do now, do you support the Government of Alberta introducing a law requiring all individuals with a non-permanent legal immigration status to reside in Alberta for at least 12 months before qualifying for any provincially-funded social support programs?"
Yes! Withdrawals from a bank account can only be made once there are deposits. The same is true when it comes to supporting the social nets of a province or country.
Question 4
"Assuming that all Canadian citizens and permanent residents continue to qualify for public health care and education as they do now, do you support the Government of Alberta charging a reasonable fee or premium to individuals with a non-permanent immigration status living in Alberta for their and their family's use of the health care and education systems?"
Yes! Question 4 sounds a bit like question 3, and the answer to both is the same.
Question 5
"Do you support the Government of Alberta introducing a law requiring individuals to provide proof of citizenship, such as a passport, birth certificate or citizenship card, to vote in an Alberta provincial election?"
Yes! That we even have to answer this question in a referendum indicates we have a problem.
Question 6
"Do you support the Government of Alberta working with the governments of other willing provinces to amend the Canadian Constitution to have provincial governments, and not the federal government, select the justices appointed to provincial King's Bench and Appeal courts?"
Yes! This change would help Alberta appoint judges that actually support Alberta's values and laws.
Question 7
"Do you support the Government of Alberta working with the governments of other willing provinces to amend the Canadian Constitution to abolish the unelected federal Senate?"
Yes! While it's unlikely this would ever happen, in theory it could balance the system that favours eastern provinces over western ones.
Question 8
"Do you support the Government of Alberta working with the governments of other willing provinces to amend the Canadian Constitution to allow provinces to opt out of federal programs that intrude on provincial jurisdiction such as health care, education and social services, without a province losing any of the associated federal funding for use in its social programs?"
Yes! Unfortunately federal funding is code for giving us our own tax dollars back as long as we agree to spend them only on the services the feds tell us we can. This doesn't always align with Albertans' needs.
Question 9
"Do you support the Government of Alberta working with the governments of other willing provinces to amend the Canadian Constitution to better protect provincial rights from federal interference by giving a province's laws dealing with provincial or shared areas of constitutional jurisdiction priority over federal laws when the province's laws and federal laws conflict?"
Yes! The most accountable governments are the ones closest to the people, and we believe the balance of power should lean towards provincial governments rather than federal.
Question 10
"Should Alberta remain a province of Canada, or should the Government of Alberta commence the legal process required under the Canadian Constitution to hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada?"
Choose option 2! While it is only a referendum to have a referendum, it is our first step in the right direction towards Alberta independence and a prosperous future.
