A pro-independence group plans to hold a rally outside Alberta’s legislature building on Saturday, less than 48 hours before the province’s referendum. The event is expected to draw supporters ahead of the vote on whether Alberta should become independent from Canada.
The rally is scheduled for Saturday afternoon in Edmonton, near the Alberta legislature. Organizers have not disclosed the exact number of participants, but the event is expected to be a visible demonstration of support for independence. The referendum, which will decide whether Alberta should separate from Canada, is set for Saturday.
This is the second major event in recent days aimed at mobilizing public support for the referendum. On Tuesday, local business leaders and community figures gathered at the Royal Glenora Club for a luncheon organized by the chamber of commerce. The meeting was intended to foster unity ahead of the vote, with participants discussing the economic and political implications of the referendum.
The referendum follows months of public debate and political maneuvering. Proponents argue that independence would allow Alberta to control its resources and policies more directly, while opponents warn of the economic and diplomatic risks. The outcome of the vote could have significant implications for Canada’s federal structure and Alberta’s future governance.
