Support Alberta Women For Independence
As we approach October 19, 2026 (referendum day), the need for solid information, respectful dialogue, and unity within our community of strong, educated women is imperative. Through our network, we aim to foster support for Alberta Independence and ultimately support for Albertan women and their families. With your help, we hope to spread the message of hope and Alberta Independence to every corner of the province. All donations are appreciated!
Referendum 2026
October 19, 2026 is the big day.
There will be 10 questions for you to vote on. Alberta Women for Independence, part of the independence network, encourages you to vote yes on questions 1-9 and choose Option 2 on question 10. In the coming weeks, we will be releasing videos that explain our reasoning for this encouragement, emphasizing our support for women and women's empowerment. The links will be shared here. As per Elections Alberta rules, we are required to list all of the questions on our website. Happy Reading! (*insert eye roll here*)
1) Do you support the Government of Alberta taking increased control over immigration for the purposes of decreasing immigration to more sustainable levels, prioritizing economic migration and giving Albertans first priority on new employment opportunities, thereby fostering an independence network that empowers local citizens?
2) Do you support the Government of Alberta introducing a law mandating that only Canadian citizens, permanent residents, and individuals with an Alberta-approved immigration status will be eligible for provincially-funded programs, such as health care, education, and other social services, ensuring support for women and families in need?
3) Assuming that all Canadian citizens and permanent residents continue to qualify for social support programs as they do now, do you support the Government of Alberta introducing a law requiring all individuals with a non-permanent legal immigration status to reside in Alberta for at least 12 months before qualifying for any provincially-funded social support programs, thus reinforcing women's empowerment in the community?
4) Assuming that all Canadian citizens and permanent residents continue to qualify for public health care and education as they do now, do you support the Government of Alberta charging a reasonable fee or premium to individuals with a non-permanent immigration status living in Alberta for their and their family’s use of the healthcare and education systems?
5) Do you support the Government of Alberta introducing a law requiring individuals to provide proof of citizenship, such as a passport, birth certificate, or citizenship card, to vote in an Alberta provincial election, ensuring that the voice of Albertans, especially women, is heard?
6) Do you support the Government of Alberta working with the governments of other willing provinces to amend the Canadian Constitution to have provincial governments, and not the federal government, select the justices appointed to provincial King’s Bench and Appeal courts?
7) Do you support the Government of Alberta working with the governments of other willing provinces to amend the Canadian Constitution to abolish the unelected federal Senate?
8) Do you support the Government of Alberta working with the governments of other willing provinces to amend the Canadian Constitution to allow provinces to opt out of federal programs that intrude on provincial jurisdiction, such as health care, education, and social services, without a province losing any of the associated federal funding for use in its social programs?
9) Do you support the Government of Alberta working with the governments of other willing provinces to amend the Canadian Constitution to better protect provincial rights from federal interference by giving a province’s laws dealing with provincial or shared areas of constitutional jurisdiction priority over federal laws when the province’s laws and federal laws conflict?
10) Should Alberta remain a province in Canada, or should the Government of Alberta commence the legal process required under the Canadian Constitution to hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada?
Option 1: Alberta should remain a province in Canada.
Option 2: The Government of Alberta should commence the legal process required under the Canadian Constitution to hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada.

Our Story
In March, 2025, Angela approached Kathy with an idea. What if we created a message about Alberta Independence created specifically for women? A message that is tailored to cover the facets of Independence that are important to us. Then we take that message across Alberta and share it with all who will host us? Skeptical at first, Kathy warmed up to the idea and the vision was cast.
It quickly became evident there was an appetite for these smaller meetings. As Albertans opened their homes and backyards to us, it was also evident there are no strangers in Alberta, just friends we haven't met yet. It was also obvious that the guys who attended enjoyed what we were sharing as well!
Our Meetings
There is no better way to discuss the state of Alberta and the political structure of the Westminster System than over tea and sweets! Or wine and a charcuterie board! Or beer and chips! Or coffee and muffins! Or... you get the picture. Wherever and whenever we are at a home meetings, there is always food involved. It helps take the edge off an otherwise pokey topic and it works. Women who would have never come out to discuss politics have surprised themselves and learned a lot because of it.
Our focus has been on encouraging Albertan women to learn more about our role in Confederation, the systems we live under, and the important choices we need to make. We don't want to stop! Therefore, we invite YOU to invite US to your home/backyard/local park to talk about all the things that matter to Albertans and our future. (And, guys, you are welcome to come, too... as long as your favorite women say it's okay ;) )
