‘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?

So if either petition gets enough signatures it triggers a referendum?

There can only be one petition because they are too similar. Basically, the separatists can't submit their petition because Lukaszuk already submitted his.
I don't know what happens if the threshold is met. I believe the Alberta government has to at least make a response to it, but even that I'm not sure.
