Alberta Fact Check: Forever Canadian head Thomas Lukaszuk falsely claims non-Albertan citizens can financially support TPAs during the referendum period
The Forever Canadian founder made the claim during an exchange on X.
A person on X asked Lukaszuk, “I don't live in Alberta. Can I make a financial contribution without accusations of interference?”
Lukaszuk responded: “Yes, on our website,” and liked to his Forever Canadian website.
Forever Canadian is a registered third-party advertiser (TPA) in the upcoming referendum (though they haven’t disclosed their finances yet). The regulations regarding funding for TPAs are very clear on the Elections Alberta website.
Prohibited contributors explicitly include:
- Any person not ordinarily resident in Alberta
- Trade unions or employee organizations outside Alberta
This is confirmed directly on Elections Alberta’s official pages and their Guide for Referendum Third Party Advertisers.
Mr. Lukaszuk’s solicitation of outside funding for his TPA runs contrary to regulations governing TPAs and could lead to fines for him, his organization, and even the contributor.
As of this writing, his posting remains on X.
