His March editorial, calling Canada’s constitution biased against Alberta, sparked backlash from the NDP, who demanded his removal. Though Stephan stepped down April 7, Premier Danielle Smith’s office confirmed he still supports the government and remains in caucus. Smith’s own upcoming provincial vote this fall on whether Albertans want to stay in Canada comes after a court struck down Stephan’s independence petition over legal and consultation flaws.
