Alberta separatists file 302,000 signatures to push referendum on leaving Canada

Alberta separatists submitted about 302,000 signatures—well above the 178,000 threshold—to trigger a provincewide referendum on secession from Canada, with a vote possible as early as October, though independence would require federal negotiations and faces court challenges from Alberta First Nations; experts say the odds of victory are low.
