222,000 signatures is impressive. It's still lower than the original threshold set by the Kenney government. Not to mention time frame and regional requirements. Key takeaway: without Danielle Smith's rule changes, the separatist petition would have failed.

2nd takeaway: Stay Free Alberta collected 45% less signatures in 33% more time, and did so illegally Verified signatures Forever Canadian = 404,293 in 90 days Stay Free Alberta = 222,597 in 120 days Illegal use of AB voter roll (as documented on SM) Forever Canadian = NO Stay Free Alberta = YES

Also, does anyone know if Elections AB has the mandate to check for seeded names in their petition verification process? My guess is that is out of scope and they weren't specifically allowed to check for that. I would love to know the outcome if they did.

With a month longer to collect them. For an issue separatists have been foaming at the mouth for 30 years over, this is embarrassingly low. Thankfully.
