It’s a referendum on a referendum – or a bit of a referendum appetizer, if you like. Apparently, it’s also redundant, as the Alberta government has already begun a “legal process” that will appeal the court decision that blocked the separatists and their constitutionally binding case in the first place. If that decision is overturned, there are (apparently) 300,000 separatist signatures sitting and waiting to be verified, which would trigger such a referendum.
