This market will resolve to "Yes" if a referendum on Alberta's independence from Canada is passed by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Any referendum that establishes Alberta's desire for independence, sets a framework for independence, or establishes independence from Canada will qualify. The primary resolution source for this market is official information from the government of Alberta, however a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.Separatist group Stay Free Alberta claimed on March 31 to have surpassed the 177,732-signature threshold under the Citizen Initiative Act, potentially triggering a provincial referendum on independence by October 2026, prompting trader caution amid ongoing verification by Elections Alberta and looming court challenges over treaty rights. Polls, including a March Abacus Data survey, confirm independence remains a minority view among Albertans, with broad support for Premier Danielle Smith's push for greater provincial autonomy within Canada rather than separation. Her United Conservative Party government prioritizes referendums on immigration and constitutional powers, underscoring low implied probability of a Yes outcome as traders weigh procedural hurdles and historical base rates of failed separatist bids.
