Thomas Lukaszuk, the province’s former deputy premier, flipped the secession question on its head and organized a petition drive last year asking citizens to vote in favor of staying in Canada, which got more than 400,000 signatures. His petition, however, did not call for a public vote on the issue, and he has asked Alberta’s legislature to hold its own vote affirming the results. There’s a chance lawmakers won’t act on it until after October, so now he’s campaigning against the Prosperity Project’s effort.
