Alberta's separation question

Alberta's government launched an advertising campaign it costed at about $4 million. It runs across TV, radio, billboards, social media and a booklet mailed to every household. The premier's office said it urges support for 'a strong and sovereign Alberta within United Canada', including yes votes on questions one through nine. The Canadian Press reported the government describing it as urging a vote to stay in Canada. In a report published September 11, 2026, The Globe and Mail described a first ad headed 'Stand up for a stronger Alberta'. The united-Canada line sat at the bottom. Naheed Nenshi, leader of the Opposition New Democrats (NDP), called the spending 'deeply unethical and borderline illegal.' The premier's office said Albertans should understand how the ten questions will affect them.
