About this Episode

Under Alberta law, roughly 177,732 petition signatures are needed to trigger a referendum — 10% of the number of people who voted in the last election.

Today, the chief petition-gatherer submitted what he says are 301,620 signatures in support of a referendum on Alberta independence — slightly more than the 299,493 votes Mark Carney received in Alberta in the last election.

If that number holds, it will be more than enough to survive any audit of the signatures to verify their validity.
