This claim has been doing the rounds this weekend and given the text on the website it's an understandable conclusion. But we reached out to the ministry to verify today and no, it's not actually the case, and the website will be updated soon to clarify.

Lukaszuk described his campaign accurately when it first launched, but the facts seem to have gotten telephone-gamed afterwards. Supporters, opposers, and even experienced journalists on the Alberta politics beat have since been portraying it inaccurately cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…

According to the Citizen Initiative Act, if Lukaszuk somehow does collect enough signatures, the matter goes to committee, not referendum. The UCP-controlled committee is not obligated to proceed with a referendum kings-printer.alberta.ca/1266.cfm?page=…

NEW from me in @jacobin: With a deal now in sight, Air Canada flight attendants' defiance of the government's back-to-work order could be setting an industry-wide standard against unpaid work.

Alberta’s biggest trading partner is the United States. We exported over $162 Billion last year- 82% of that being energy products. Right now the ‘National Conference of State Legislators’ is taking place in Boston and I’m grateful that Speaker @RicMcIver, MLAs @GlennVanDijken, Chelsea Petrovic, and @NolanDyckAB showed up to remind U.S. leaders that open and tariff-free trade is essential to the strength of both of our economies.
