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.Recent polling from Angus Reid, Leger, and Pollara shows consistent majorities of 61-70% favoring Alberta remaining a province of Canada versus 21-33% supporting the legal process toward a binding independence referendum on the October 19, 2026 ballot. Premier Danielle Smith has stated her preference for staying in Canada while proceeding with the citizen-initiated question amid verified petitions. Legal rulings on unconsulted First Nations treaty rights under the Numbered Treaties have added procedural barriers, and renewed Canada-U.S. trade tensions have reinforced calls for national unity over division. These factors sustain trader consensus that neither the non-binding October vote nor any subsequent steps will deliver independence in 2026.
