We'renot done.

On October 19, Albertans chose Canada. Keeping this country together is still work, and it still needs you.

From a petition to a province that chose Canada.

In just over a year, ordinary Albertans collected signatures, planted signs, welcomed Thomas and the Unity Bus in town after town, filled two arenas with the Prime Minister and turned out to vote.

Thomas A. Lukaszuk speaking at the Calgary rally

We won the vote. Now we keep the country together.

On October 19, Albertans said it clearly: we are Canadian, and we intend to stay that way.

That happened because of you. You signed the petition, planted the signs, welcomed the bus, filled the halls and talked to your neighbours.

One vote doesn't end the conversation. One in four Albertans chose the other option. They are our neighbours, our co-workers and our families, and we want to understand why. Our job now is to listen, and to make sure Alberta is heard inside Canada.

We're not done. Stay with us.

None of this happened without the people who gave their evenings and weekends. There's room for more.

Bring Alberta together.

The vote is settled. The frustration behind it isn't. One in four Albertans chose Option 2, and we want to understand why.

We'll listen.

We'll open conversations with Albertans who voted the other way, so their concerns are heard inside Canada and not used to pull it apart.
