Alberta Government Eases Path for Independence Referendum: The United Conservative Party, led by Premier Danielle Smith, has passed Bill Fourteen, making it easier for a separatist group to push for an independence referendum. The Alberta Prosperity Project, led by Mitch Sylvestre, has reapplied for a referendum after the bill removed obstacles and nullified a previous court ruling. Opponents view this as appeasing extremists, while supporters celebrate the start of Albertas sovereignty era. The group now needs fewer than one in sixteen eligible Albertans to sign their petition. The governments actions have paved the way for a potential independence vote, with the fate of the Forever Canada petition and Premier Smiths stance on the matter still uncertain.
