Alberta, provincia bogată în petrol, a votat covârșitor pentru rămânerea în Canada: 77% împotriva unui referendum de independență
Voters in Alberta overwhelmingly supported remaining part of Canada, with 77% favoring unity in a recent referendum. Premier Mark Carney's efforts to maintain national unity received a boost from these results amid rising separatist sentiments. Despite the strong vote against separation, some separatist leaders claim to have gained momentum for their cause. Alberta's political culture has historically aligned more with the American West, leading to deep-seated dissatisfaction with Ottawa. Critics of the referendum process argue funds could have been better spent on healthcare rather than a 'referendum about a referendum.'
