‘We will definitely surpass the minimum’: [Former Deputy Premier of Alberta] Lukaszuk confident anti-separatist petition can gather needed signatures (www.ctvnews.ca)

The question that the separatists were proposing was Do you agree that the province shall become a sovereign country and cease to be a province of Canada? And the question that Lukaszuk proposed is Do you agree that Alberta should remain in Canada?

They were likely waiting until July 4th to submit their petition under the lower threshold, but Lukaszuk beat them to it.

It's hysterical. He's going to put a, "Should we stay in Canada" question to the people and get an overwhelming, "Yes", as the answer putting the separatist whinging to bed once and for all. How humiliating for them.

That's assuming more Albertans bother voting at all than separatists. The best outcome is separation isn't even a question on the ballot. Just don't sign the petition at all and it won't be.
