"“Should information during the verification process reveal anomalies, further steps will be taken to ensure a 95-per-cent confidence level the signatures on the petition are valid and verified,” Elections Alberta said yesterday."
If you're a registered voter in Alberta, and you oppose separation, how can you personally verify that your name and a forged signature have *not* been added to the petition?
At this point, this is a genuine question, not a rhetorical one.
No "sample" of those signatures less than 100% being directly verified with the alleged signatory will be sufficient to make this separatist doxxed petition valid.
And the Premier will never call an independent public inquiry because she and her caucus would be shown as complicit in the Centurion Project and the APP.
To top that off Rath now expects all UCP nominees for the next election to commit to the separation agenda. The tail is wagging the dog and Dictator Dani is running out of ways to deny any involvement and dodge any accountability for this train wreck.
Her zombie UCP silent caucus is once again MIA as well!
I can only speak to one of the nearby locations that was regularly used for petition signing… based on what I saw, I have exceedingly serious doubts as to the validity of the separatist petition. Coupled with the eyebrow raising background of at least one leader of the group (accused of fleecing elderly relatives with dementia, in more than a single hearing with the law society) and that petition needs a fine tooth comb and a lot of sunlight.
Independent nonpartisan inquiry by a judge NOW please - as if Dani & UCP would do that.
I knew Kenney trashed everything Rachel Notley did. I didn’t know it included Mr. Gibson. UCP needs to be renamed “United Constantly Grift Party.” UCGP. 🇨🇦

"This is a potentially significant problem ... since it would have made it easy for bad actors to sign a petition with real peoples’ names."
Exactly. So a court injunction may be the only way to postpone the deadline, in light of the ongoing investigations of criminality.
As you note, David, in the case of the RCMP that might take years. Oh, what a shame!
