I had a day from hell yesterday and had to clean my entire (under renovation) house for suprise guests with 90 min notice. The very best friend in the world showed up with her vaccuum, cleaning supplies, and a wild-blueberry crumble (*still hot). Also the largest puffball I've ever seen.

The question is official... but the outcome is not binding so we still don't know what the hell is going on.
The question:

Premier Danielle Smith and her cabinet have issued an order-in-council confirming the exact phrasing of the question. 

According to the document, the multiple-choice question asks: "Should Alberta remain a province of Canada, or should the Government of Alberta commence the legal process required under the Canadian Constitution to hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada?"

Electors then choose from two options: Option 1, which states"Alberta should remain a province of Canada," 
and 
Option 2, which states "The Government of Alberta should commence the legal process required under the Canadian Constitution to hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada."

They are at over 26k people in 24 hours who have answered they would support or participate in a general strike, and the word "none" in the word cloud answering "if you belong to a union, which one?" is now second only to the ATA. #alberta
A graph showing that over 16k would support a general strike and over 10k would participate in one. A word-cloud showing "none" "not applicable" "not a member" "not a union member" as prominent responses.

Now at 10k. #alberta
A graph showing 9500 people willing to support a general strike, so far, based on a survey released this morning. This number has more than doubled in 2 hours. The same update indicated a large proportion of reapondents were not union members.

warnkekim.bsky.social @warnkekim.bsky.social · 06/11/2025
It has been an hour since the survey was released. I can't stop watching but I have to get back to my tasks for the day. Zoomed in on the "are you a union member" word cloud. Appears many are not.
A graph of the results after an hour.  Nearly 6500 people have responded that they would support a general strike. Nearly 4500 would participate. Nearly 3000 would help a recall campaign against UCP MLAs. Largest words in the word cloud generated by the question "which union do you belong to?" Are "AUPE", ATA", "HSAA" and "NONE". "Not applicable" and "no union"  and "not a union member" are close behind.

Common! There are little bits that aren't covered by Treaties 6,7, or 8 but they are covered be Treaty 4 and 10. Most Albertans don't recognize 4 & 10 because there are no reserve communities within AB borders.
