Canadian Judge Pauses the Certification of the Results in the Citizen Petition for the Independence of Oil-Rich Alberta Province

Will Alberta leave decadent Canada behind?

The process of forcing a referendum on oil-rich Alberta’s independence from woke Canada is going so well that the Canadian liberal establishment has started openly trying to derail the process.

It has arisen today that a Canadian judge has granted a month-long stay preventing Alberta’s chief electoral officer from certifying the results of a petition.

CBC reported:

“Justice Shaina Leonard’s ruling on Friday afternoon also prevents Stay Free Alberta, the group behind the petition, from referring the matter to Justice Minister Mickey Amery once signatures are submitted.

The decision follows an application from two of three First Nations groups who say they believe the petition process threatens treaty rights. The Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation (ACFN) and the Blackfoot Confederacy have been seeking a stay on the petition campaign pending a final ruling.”

Alberta’s lawyers told an Edmonton court Thursday that collecting signatures for a separation referendum doesn’t violate treaty rights and no duty to consult has arisen yet.

“A stay functions similarly to an injunction and requires applicants to demonstrate a serious issue for review, irreparable harm and that the balance of convenience favors granting the order.

Leonard found the applicants met the low threshold of establishing arguable issues that are neither frivolous nor vexatious. These include whether the Crown breached its duty to consult and whether provisions of Alberta’s Citizen Initiative Act are unconstitutional.”

Right now the most important thing you can do for Alberta Independence is get out and sign the petition.

If you’ve already signed, find people who haven’t and encourage them to sign. pic.twitter.com/sSrW4RAVWm
