This market will resolve to "Yes" if any provincial government in Canada officially schedules a referendum concerning the province’s potential secession from Canada, by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No." Any referendum that establishes the province's desire for independence, sets a framework for independence, or establishes independence from Canada will qualify, whether the referendum is binding or non-binding. The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting.Traders price a 60% chance no Canadian province will schedule a referendum on secession before 2027, reflecting the absence of concrete official plans amid persistently low public support for independence. Quebec, the historic epicenter of separatism, sees the sovereignty-supporting Parti Québécois polling under 5% ahead of the 2026 provincial election, while Premier François Legault's Coalition Avenir Québec prioritizes autonomy demands like immigration control over a divisive vote—federal Clarity Act requirements further deter action by mandating clear questions and majority approval. Alberta's sovereignty rhetoric under Premier Danielle Smith remains exploratory via the Alberta Sovereignty Act, without separation ballot commitments. Recent federal-provincial clashes over carbon taxes and housing have fueled grievances but not escalated to referendum scheduling, underscoring trader consensus on formidable legal and political barriers.
