This is false and misleading. There is nothing in the constitution that would require Ottawa to negotiate with Alberta if a majority of Albertans choose Option 2 on Question 10. Alberta Proud is a registered third-party advertiser. Daniel Kary, of Calgary, is the main contact/CFO.
There's a lot of confusion about what Question 10 on the October 19 ballot actually means, so let's be clear.
Question 10 gives voters two options: remain a province of Canada, or start the legal process toward a binding referendum. A binding referendum means a future province-wide vote whose result the government is legally required to act on, not just listen to and ignore. Choosing the second option doesn't take Alberta out of Canada.
Under Canada's constitution, if enough Albertans choose the second option, Ottawa would be required to come to the table for a real conversation about Alberta's place in Canada, how our resources are managed, and whether we're getting a fair return.
Are you voting on October 19?

MPs and MLAs are saying they aren't hearing from constituents about two-tier health care in Alberta. Okay. Let's fix that. If you oppose the expansion of private health care in Alberta, contact your MLA and your MP. Email them. Call their offices. Write them a letter. Time to make some noise!

@daniellesmithab.bsky.social Alberta politics has two narratives about newcomers: When systems are strained → they’re the problem. When growth numbers look good → they’re essential. The real policy question is simpler: Are housing and infrastructure keeping up with population growth? #ableg #abpoli

“100,000 new jobs” sounds great in a graphic. But Alberta’s population has surged. When hundreds of thousands of people move to a province, total employment will rise automatically. That’s labour market math. The real indicators are employment rate, wages, and affordability. #Alberta #cdnpoli
