Alberta's Referendum and Forever Canadian | Canada News

Alberta’s premier is sounding the alarm over funding for Forever Canadian, the pro-Confederation group pushing to keep Alberta in Canada — despite election officials saying they’re exempt from financial disclosure rules. Led by former deputy premier Thomas Lukaszuk, the movement is hitting the streets with lawn signs and rallying voters ahead of the October 19 referendum. Lukaszuk insists they’re playing by the book, citing updated provincial election laws that permit their approach — and says they’re ready to hand over records if asked. Elections Alberta says they can only enforce what’s written in the law, urging public concerns to be directed to elected officials. The premier, meanwhile, sees the controversy as proof of a vibrant, organized debate — as Alberta stands at a historic crossroads.
