    Here in Red Deer I never saw a single person signing the petition (I regularly drive past like 6 signing locations).

    I was expecting them to miss the threshold and then the government say something like “oh there was enough to show that people are interested”.

    I’m really torn between this being kind of fishy and unsurprising. Either way, I fully expect the referendum to fail.

      Yeah in Calgary I don’t think I’ve seen a single person at a signing table. They have a bunch of flags and crap out too really trying to entice people but it’s always empty. I also feel like they’ve been out for weeks if not months at this point?

      Maybe some of the more rural areas had more people signing
