This market will resolve to "Yes" if a referendum on Alberta's independence from Canada is passed by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Any referendum that establishes Alberta's desire for independence, sets a framework for independence, or establishes independence from Canada will qualify. The primary resolution source for this market is official information from the government of Alberta, however a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.Alberta's October 19, 2026, referendum poses a non-binding choice between remaining a Canadian province or directing the government to begin the constitutional process for a potential future binding vote on separation, not an immediate independence decision. Recent polling from Angus Reid, Pollara, and others shows 61-70% support for staying in Canada versus 21-33% favoring the process step, reflecting limited traction for separatism despite citizen petitions that reached signature thresholds and Premier Danielle Smith's May 2026 question announcement. Legal challenges from First Nations over treaty rights and ongoing pro-unity campaigns have reinforced the status quo preference among voters.
