The Alberta independence question is here, but the path forward is more complicated than many expected.
The instinct is to move directly to a clear independence vote. But the Sylvestre decision has changed the legal landscape and created a serious risk that an immediate up-or-down vote could be challenged before Albertans ever get a final say.
The goal has not changed.
Alberta still needs a clear vote on a clear question.
What has changed is the route to get there. A two-step process may now be the most realistic way to protect the vote, build support, and give the independence movement time to organize properly.
The fight is not over.
It is becoming more serious.
BREAKING: Matt Jeneroux crosses the floor and joins the Liberal Party.
He told us just a few months ago, he was going to resign.
Matt is a traitor to his party & constituents.
What a joke.

Edmonton father Prashant Sreekumar died waiting to see a doctor in an emergency room this week.
