The CTV article that I linked above claims they have 4 times that:

Lukaszuk says more than 8,000 volunteers have signed up to canvass across Alberta.

If that is true, it would mean a few things:
1) It is going to be hard to coordinate that big of a volunteer workforce and delays in them getting everyone moving is understandable
2) There is going to be a pretty decent cost to mobilize a group that big with everything they need (they might be short on cash if they are making badges and getting clipboards for 8000 people)
3) 300,000 signatures is definitely possible
We went to North Glenmore Park today and they had a great set up. 2 tables, probably 6 or 9 clipboards, and people were constantly walking or driving up to sign and then go about their day. It was moving really fast so there was never much of a line.
If they can keep that going at each of these locations, I think they could pull an extra 100K.
