Petition signature counting resumes as Alberta separatist group gets partial win at court of appealCBC NewsMeghan GrantJun 29, 2026An Alberta separatist group has secured a partial win at the province’s top court after a lower court judge quashed its referendum petition last month. On Monday, Court of Appeal Justice Alice Woolley issued a decision in which she ruled the chief electoral officer can resume verifying signatures on Stay Free Alberta’s referendum petition and reporting the results to the public.But the judge stopped short of allowing the results to be reported to the justice minister and then referred to the lieutenant governor, which could trigger a constitutional referendum. “A full stay risks the initiative petition proceeding to a referendum before determination of the appeal,” wrote Woolley. Judge overturns Elections Alberta’s approval of separation referendum petitionThe group's application with the court of appeal asked for a stay of Court of King’s Bench Justice Shaina Leonard's decision so that the process could continue, pending the appeal. In May, Leonard quashed Stay Free Alberta’s petition which, according to the group, had garnered more than 300,000 signatures.The petition question reads: "Do you agree that the Province of Alberta should cease to be a part of Canada to become an independent state?”(more)https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/alberta-referendum-separatist-stay-free-petition-court-of-appeal-decision-9.7252814
