EDMONTON, CANADA - MAY 3: A participant holds a leaflet promoting a 'Yes' vote for Alberta sovereignty and encouraging people to register for the petition, as Alberta sovereigntists and supporters gather outside the Alberta Legislature following the federal election victory of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal government and the tabling of new independence-related legislation by Premier Danielle Smith’s UCP government, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, on May 3, 2025. A smaller group of counter-protesters demonstrated nearby, highlighting concerns over Indigenous treaty rights and the broader implications of provincial separation. (Photo by Artur Widak/NurPhoto)
