The 10th Ballot Question in the Referendum.

Here is a sample of it.

I am guessing that if you were allowed to vote the red checkmark would be placed a bit higher up.:whistle:

Alberta's playing Quebec's old game - whining about how things are so you get things more your way. I wouldn't help Alberta do that.

That said, thank you for answering my question about Question 10
 
There is one best way to break up a social nation ... turn them against themselves so the great powers can lead:
  • Royal Systems
  • Belief System (pious)
  • Mercenary Systems (that hire out to the other pair)
  • Populace System (corrupt so the others must control it)
The latter system is unacknowledged by the others as counting for anything but to sacrifice for power! This creates a duality and thus ruins any chance of universal integrals ... sometimes known as integrity and thus dispositioned to someplace mystical. Thus broken systematic theology!

Quebec's old game has began anew.

Paul St-Pierre Plamondon (PSPP) has been sworn in as Quebec’s new premier.

Instead of pledging allegiance to the King, he and his MNAs took their oath exclusively to the PEOPLE of Quebec.

The New Quebec Premier, PSPP:

"To be masters in our own house, to be masters of our future and of the decisions that are vital to us—that is our destiny.

Long live Quebec, long live freedom, long live a Quebec libre!"
 
Question: I haven't heard the Alberta separatists take on the monarchy. Would an independent Alberta be a constitutional monarchy or a republic? Or has it even been discussed? I can't see them having the objections that Quebec has to the monarchy (i.e. that it's an English colonial institution) but they might have others.

(PS. I am in favour of a republic myself, just not sure how get there without a constitutional implosion so I'm sucking it up and living with the current system.)

Under the Alberta Prosperity Project’s (APP) “Foundation of Freedom” discussion document, the monarchy would not be retained.

The proposal outlines an independent Alberta as a constitutional republic.

There is no role for a monarch, the Crown, a Governor General, or Lieutenant Governor equivalent.

Edit:
Important context: “The Foundation of Freedom” is a non-official, non-binding discussion paper released by APP (one independence advocacy group) as a starting point for public input. It is not a final or adopted constitution. Any actual post-independence constitution would require a formal process, broader public consultation, and ratification by Albertans. The upcoming October 19, 2026 non-binding provincial referendum concerns whether to begin the legal process toward a later binding independence vote and does not adopt or endorse this specific document.
 
Well, they got one thing right, at least. :giggle:

I would be careful about saying there's no G-G or L-G equivalent, though. If you go with a German-style ceremonial president, they are effectively equivalent to a G-G in terms of authority, just without the tie to the monarchy. Now, if you go the Franco-American executive presidency route, then there really is no equivalent.

Okay... I don't know about the legality of that

Neither do I but as usual, the feds will likely let it slide and only get involved if someone within the province initiates it. The Liberals handle Quebec with kid gloves and have for a long time. Pierre Trudeau-era Liberals like Trudeau himself and Chretien tended to be a bit tougher on them but still slipped them treats when it suited them.
 
Does freedom of belief limit something here also ... so that we don't know what's for certain. Yet some people are very certain about some really quantum functions (chancy)?

What is the chance of a vast volcano in a tropical dream? Slim but is it negligible?

Until a court rules otherwise or grants an injunction suspending the law, the provincial framework remains operative, so the swearing-in is legal under provincial rules as they currently stand.
