Subhead:A majority vote for independence in October's referendum would obligate the provincial government to begin the process of a binding referendum, meaning it is a step towards Alberta leaving Canada.# The referendum Alberta is holding on October 19, which will include a question pertaining to unity, may be non-binding but it is very real. While attending the swearing in of Louise Arbour as Canada’s latest governor general, Jean Chretien told CTV reporters, “It’s not a real referendum. To have a referendum in Canada, you need a question that is approved by Parliament of Canada.” It can be assumed perhaps that Mr. Chretien meant the Alberta referendum isn’t a Clarity Act compliant referendum. While the Clarity Act may be a creation of Chretien, clarity in communications has never been one of his hallmarks. Question number 10 on the list of questions facing Albertans on the ballot this fall has become a de facto question on Alberta’s independence. Federalists from across the country are weighing in and campaigning to convince Albertans to choose option 1, while independence supporters are campaigning for option 2. Though the results won’t be immediately binding, they surely will have an impact on the nation. Why else would it be garnering such attention? Amazon-embed:B0GXDXZ6LX
