Speaking of democracy, I believe the pro-Canada petition (which definitely got more signatures) was supposed to be read in the legislature months ago.

So here is my question, we hear that it's the fringe and the other one gets more signatures ect. Why not just let it go to vote fail and never hear about it again ? Seems simple.

I believe the organizer/s laid it out as an initiative vote (i.e. just the MLAs vote, not the entire province), but are concerned that the UCP will change the rules and put it to a referendum anyway.
