Hundreds line up in Calgary to sign petition to urge vote on Alberta leaving Canada

Alberta’s separation drive came to the province’s largest city Monday, with hundreds lining up to add their names to the list of people wanting to vote on the province quitting Canada while the Opposition NDP called on the premier to drop the “word salad” and tell everyone where she stands.

“Freedom!” shouted one man, arms raised, as he left the signing centre at the Big Four Building on Calgary’s Stampede grounds.
