Alberta's Radical Separatist Blueprint | Calgary News

A radical new blueprint for an independent Alberta has ignited controversy, proposing an elected president, open-carry gun rights, and a fourth branch of government that can trigger binding referendums with just 3% support. Drafted by the Alberta Prosperity Project — linked to the polarizing “Black Hat Gang” — the 54-page plan includes term limits, a Calgary-based president, and an Edmonton legislature, but experts call it amateurish and dangerously destabilizing. Critics warn the unprecedented oversight branch and chaotic referendum threshold could fracture the separatist movement, while internal dissent grows over its timing and extremism. Though some see it as a provocative conversation starter, many fear it’s too radical for Alberta’s conservative electorate and risks alienating potential allies.
