As we close the chapter on 2025, the Alberta Prosperity Project (APP) looks back with immense pride and optimism. This year marked extraordinary progress in our pursuit of Alberta sovereignty, guided by our core values of Faith, Family, Freedom. From legislative victories to historic approvals—and a massive rally that drew an estimated 10,000 to 20,000 Albertans—we have mobilised hundreds of thousands of supporters, educated communities across the province, and achieved milestones that bring us closer than ever to a binding referendum. Come On Let’s Go!—the momentum is unstoppable as we head into 2026.
I just got home. Three hours of driving gave me an opportunity to listen to various media outlets. Not a single one even mentioned yesterday's independence rally.

Rising Frustration with Federal Overreach
The year opened against the backdrop of the federal election on April 28, 2025, which saw the Liberals, now led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, secure another term. For many Albertans, this result deepened concerns over Ottawa’s policies that continue to hinder our energy sector, impose restrictive regulations, and redirect our hard-earned wealth through unequal fiscal arrangements.
#WATCH: Mark Carney congratulates himself on winning the election, claims our democracy is strong and says now is the time to take control of the economy.

He’s already talking about seizing control and redistributing wealth.

Polls throughout 2025 reflected growing separatist sentiment, with support hovering around 20-30% province-wide, and even higher in certain demographics. APP’s ongoing educational efforts highlighted the practical benefits of independence: retaining billions in resource revenues, investing in stronger healthcare and infrastructure, and protecting family prosperity from federal intrusion.
Legislative Wins and Direct Democracy Advances
HUGE win for Alberta sovereignty! Premier Smith’s updated Citizen Initiative Act slashes the referendum signature requirement from 600K to just 177K—10% of last election’s voters—and extends collection from 90 to 120 days. These changes make a referendum on Alberta independence… pic.twitter.com/7McdK2jTWt

2025 was a breakthrough year legislatively. Premier Danielle Smith’s government introduced and passed key reforms to the Citizen Initiative Act, including Bill 14 (the Justice Statutes Amendment Act, 2025), which received Royal Assent on December 11. These changes removed barriers to citizen-led initiatives, directly benefiting APP’s referendum push.
After navigating challenges and refining our question to align precisely with the federal Clarity Act, APP resubmitted our proposed referendum wording: “Do you agree that the Province of Alberta should cease to be part of Canada to become an independent state?”
NEWS RELEASE – Today, a Notice of Initiative Petition has been issued. This confirms a Citizen Initiative application has been received and it has met the requirements of section 2 of the Citizen Initiative Act.

The pinnacle achievement came on December 22, 2025, when Elections Alberta approved our Citizen Initiative Petition (2025-CIP-10). Following the public notice period (December 23–29), the petition will be officially issued on January 2, 2026, kicking off a 120-day signature collection drive. We need approximately 177,000 valid signatures to trigger a binding referendum—empowering every eligible Albertan to vote on our independence. With over 240,000 pledges already registered by year’s end, we are poised for success.
Educating and Mobilising Albertans
APP hosted hundreds of “Let’s Talk” town halls, rallies, and informational sessions across the province—from Pincher Creek to Bonnyville, Calgary to rural communities. These events, combined with the historic “I Am Alberta: Rise Up Alberta Rally” on October 25 that brought together an estimated 10,000 to 20,000 proud Albertans at the Legislature Grounds, reached hundreds of thousands through in-person attendance, livestreams, and outreach.
🚨 Town Halls across Alberta are happening now!
