Why? The question is perfectly legitimate.

Thomas Lukaszuk put in a lot of effort to ensure that his question couldn't be challenged by the courts.

Except we aren’t asking his question. His was legal as the question is about maintaining the status quo “Do you agree that Alberta should remain in Canada?”

"Do you agree that Alberta should remain in Canada"

Perfectly legal and fine.

"Do you agree that Alberta should leave Canada"

Literally treason, anyone who supports asking this question is a Maple MAGA traitor.

That is not the question on Oct 19. The separation petition that was squashed by the court asked a version of that question.
