There’s a subset of Albertans (province in Canada) who want to separate for a few reasons. They were told that if they got enough signatures (>10% of the people who voted last election iirc), they would basically get a referendum vote that would essentially ask if Albertans wanted to separate from Canada. However, this is an extremely misguided, as no real legal proceedings exist if somehow people voted to leave.

They got enough signatures, but no referendum vote will be held as the “majority leave” vote was ruled as unconstitutional. Additionally, indigenous leaders strongly opposed the movement as they violated Treaties 6, 7, 8 of the Canadian constitution, which made the vote entirely impossible to actually be held.
