Alberta Prosperity Project Achieves Major Milestone: Referendum Question on Independence Approved!

December 31, 2025

Albertans, the Alberta Prosperity Project (APP) has secured a significant victory in our pursuit of a prosperous, independent future. Elections Alberta has officially approved our referendum question this year, clearing the way for us to begin collecting signatures to trigger a province-wide vote on Alberta’s independence from Canada.

The approved question is clear and direct: “Do you agree that Alberta should cease to be a part of Canada to become an independent state?”

This approval marks a pivotal moment for the movement. As highlighted in a recent interview on the Rachel Parker show, APP CEO Mitch Sylvestre discussed this breakthrough and outlined our ambitious plans moving forward.

In the discussion, Mitch explained that signature collection is set to begin in early January 2026, likely around January 8–10, once Elections Alberta processes our initial 2,000 registered canvassers. We have 120 days to gather at least 177,000 valid signatures from eligible Alberta voters, with strict ID verification to ensure accuracy.

“Our strategy is straightforward and grassroots-driven,” Mitch shared. “We’re starting with the 250,000 Albertans who have already expressed intent to support this cause, and asking each of them to bring in two, three, or four more from their networks. We’ll be going door-to-door across every community in Alberta, setting up at town halls, and mobilising supporters everywhere.”

The goal isn’t just to meet the threshold—it’s to exceed it overwhelmingly, building unstoppable momentum for the referendum itself. As Mitch noted, “We’re going to every door in Alberta. We want canvassers in every community, talking to friends and neighbours who share our vision for a free and prosperous Alberta.”

To support this effort, we’ve launched the Stay Free Alberta initiative. Visit stayfreealberta.com (coming online shortly) for full details on how to get involved, donate, or access resources. We already have our financial structures in place, including a dedicated bank account and Chief Financial Officer, and we’re pursuing third-party advertiser status to maximise our reach.

This is our moment, Albertans. The path to independence is open, and it’s up to us to walk it together. Whether you’re ready to sign the petition, become a canvasser, or contribute to the campaign, your action now will shape Alberta’s future.

  • Sign the petition when collection begins—watch for updates!
