Former Alberta deputy premier takes pro-Canada petition to the streets
Former Alberta politician Thomas Lukaszuk is leading a passionate campaign to prevent Canada from splitting apart. His project, Forever Canadian, aims to gather 294,000 signatures on a petition to prompt a referendum on whether Alberta should officially commit to remaining part of Canada.
Lukaszuk’s efforts have garnered significant support, with 3,000 volunteer signature collectors and numerous events held across the province to gather signatures. Despite facing opposition from a separatist movement, Lukaszuk remains dedicated to his cause, emphasizing the importance of unity within Canada.
The campaign has drawn endorsements from prominent figures such as former Alberta Progressive Conservative premier Ed Stelmach and Ian McClelland, a founding member of the Reform Party of Canada. The non-partisan nature of the initiative underscores its commitment to bringing Albertans together in support of a united Canada.
While separatist groups continue to push for independence, Lukaszuk and his team remain focused on engaging with communities and spreading their message of unity. The recent court review of a proposed referendum question on Alberta’s sovereignty highlights the ongoing debate over the province’s future within Canada.
As the political landscape evolves, both Lukaszuk’s Forever Canadian project and the Alberta Prosperity Project are working diligently to advance their respective causes. With changes in referendum legislation providing new opportunities for citizen-led initiatives, the path forward for Alberta’s future within Canada remains uncertain.
In a time of heightened tensions and divisive rhetoric, Lukaszuk’s unwavering commitment to preserving Canada’s unity serves as a beacon of hope. Through grassroots mobilization and community engagement, he aims to bring Albertans together in support of a shared vision for the future of the country.
