A petition rumoured to have collected over 300,000 pro-Canada signatures is nearing its goal.
Thomas Lukaszuk, a former Progressive Conservative cabinet minister, is leading the "Unity Bus" tour to collect signatures for the Forever Canadian petition, which asks:
Do you agree that Alberta should remain in Canada?
The petition requires 293,976 in-person signatures to be considered for a province-wide referendum.
Rumours suggest that the campaign's 4,000 volunteers have already collected over 300,000 signatures.
Author's note: Pro-Canada petition gains momentum.
