How Long Will It Take For Alberta To Become Independent?

1. Fall 2025 – Summer 2026: Alberta conducts an honest and successful referendum on independence with a clear and unmistakable question. According to the Clarity Act 2000, a successful referendum is required to legally and morally launch negotiations between Alberta and Ottawa.
2. Summer 2026 – Summer 2027: After an overwhelming majority of Albertans vote for independence, Alberta enters into good–faith negotiations with Canada, the provinces, and Indigenous peoples regarding separation and the details surrounding it. While negotiations are taking place, Alberta begins building an Alberta Revenue Agency, police force, pension fund, and other critical components of a nation.
3. Summer 2027 – Beyond: If negotiations are successful and the provinces agree to Alberta separation, a Constitutional amendment will occur and Alberta will be declared a sovereign nation.¹
