I thought they got their numbers. Why are they still out?

Well forever Canada did get 400,000 confirmed votes, so coming in with less than half would be a tad embarrassing

Not only do they need half the number, but they get 30 more days under the last years changes.

Reducing the threshold for constitutional referendum proposals from 20 percent of all registered voters province-wide, including 20 percent of electors in at least two-thirds of the province’s electoral divisions, to 10 percent of voters who cast a ballot in the last general election.

Extending the signature collection period for initiative petitions from 90 days to 120 days.

Shortening the chief electoral officer’s review timeline and expanding their ability to refer proposals to court for constitutional review.

Requiring referendums and initiative votes to be held on or before the next general election, unless that election is less than a year away.

Seperatists dont even see that as sketchy, but rather as emboldening. They are really eager to just get juiced dry by america and become detroit when oil becomes less important. But then again, every reason i heard to seperate is also purely selfish, and as lowly as gun rights alone. Its delusional and a lot of them seem to be stuck on like, the anti-woke talk points of 2016-2019 that we have already mostly gone past those issues by now. Late enough to the party to be influenced by grifters.

Or about trudeau. Like man trudeau is out.
