在支持阿尔伯塔省的分离主义者之后，亲哈利斯坦分离主义者现在已联系了最近在魁北克上台执政的亲独立政党。魁北克党将在魁北克组建下一届政府，因为它在10月5日的省选中获得了最多席位。周五，分离主义组织“正义锡克人”（SFJ）邀请魁北克省长指定人选保罗·圣皮埃尔·普拉蒙德及其政党代表参加定于10月18日在埃德蒙顿举行的所谓“哈利斯坦公投”，以“观察员”身份出席。
After extending support to separatists in the province of Alberta, pro-Khalistan secessionists have now reached out to the pro-independence party which recently assumed power in Quebec. The Parti Québécois will form the next government in Quebec as it garnered the most seats in the provincial election on October 5. On Friday, the secessionist group Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) invited Quebec’s premier-designate Paul St-Pierre Plamondon and representatives from his party to attend the so-called Khalistan referendum in Edmonton scheduled for October 18 as “observers”.SFJ general counsel Gurpatwant Pannun congratulated Plamondon on his victory and “commended the Parti Québécois for continuing to champion the democratic principle that ‘the people of Quebec should have the right to determine their own political future’.”Alluding to Plamondon’s victory speech referring to the “dream of being a nation will one day be realised,” SFJ said that resonated with support of Khalistan.
SFJ总法律顾问古尔帕特万·潘农祝贺普拉蒙德获胜，并“赞扬魁北克党继续坚持‘魁北克人民应有权决定自身政治未来’的民主原则”。SFJ援引普拉蒙德在胜选演讲中提到的“成为民族的梦想终将实现”表示，这与对哈利斯坦的支持产生了共鸣。本周早些时候，SFJ曾表示支持将于10月19日在加拿大阿尔伯塔省举行的分离主义公投。
Earlier this week, SFJ had come out in support of a separatist referendum scheduled to be held in the Canadian province of Alberta later on October 19.
阿尔伯塔省公投聚焦于该省是否应继续留在加拿大，或省政府是否应“启动根据加拿大宪法所要求的法律程序，以举行一次具有约束力的省级公投，以决定阿尔伯塔是否应脱离加拿大”。潘农表示：“无论是阿尔伯塔人民决定阿尔伯塔的政治未来，还是锡克人决定旁遮普的政治未来，基本的民主原则是相同的：一个民族的政治未来应由该民族自身决定。”
“10月18日，锡克人将就旁遮普进行投票。10月19日，阿尔伯塔人将就阿尔伯塔的政治未来进行投票。”
The Alberta Referendum focuses on whether the province should remain in Canada, or whether the provincial government should “commence the legal process required under the Canadian Constitution to hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada.”Pannun said, “Whether it is the people of Alberta determining Alberta’s political future or Sikhs determining Punjab’s political future, the fundamental democratic principle is the same: the political future of a people should be determined by the people.”“On October 18, Sikhs vote on Punjab. On October 19, Albertans vote on Alberta’s political future. Different peoples and different constitutional circumstances — but political questions should be settled democratically,” he added.
不同的民族和不同的宪法情形 — — 但政治问题应当通过民主方式解决，”他补充道。渥太华对这次公投表示担忧，因为有媒体报道称美国可能干涉该过程，倾向于支持分离主义者。总理马克·卡尼显然反对分离，而同意举行公投的省长丹妮尔·史密斯也公开反对脱离加拿大。
There is concern in Ottawa over the referendum amid media reports of potential American interference in the process, favouring the separatists. Prime Minister Mark Carney has obviously opposed separation while provincial Premiere Danielle Smith, who agreed to the referendum, has also come out against breaking away from Canada.
