Where are we at?
Our collection team is gathering petitions from across Alberta. More will arrive tomorrow.
Some of our amazing #ForeverCanadian volunteers are still collecting last minute signatures.
For many, this is more than canvassing. It’s a movement. It’s a community.

Trump's approval rating is still nearly 40%. Think about how fucking ignorant and/or stupid 4 out of every 10 Americans must be.
Trump: "I think it has -- I think it's very bad. They're pumping, it looks like they're pumping into a horse. You have a little child, a little fragile child, and you get a vat of 80 different vaccines, I guess. 80 different blends. And they pump it in. So ideally, a woman won't take Tylenol."
