Voters to be asked whether province should remain part of Canada or hold a second, binding independence vote
Albertans are going to the polls to decide their place in Canada, in a referendum that has exposed deep divisions within the province, not least in the separatist movement itself.
On Monday, voters will respond to the question of whether Alberta should remain in Canada, or hold a second, binding independence referendum.
A minority have long argued that separation is the only way to address their belief that Alberta is short-changed by its financial relationship with Ottawa, and prevented from fully exploiting the province’s vast fossil fuel reserves.
This woman is not for Canada, she’s not for Texas, she’s not even for Alberta or its people. She’s for herself and that materialises in one way, that’s the oil industry. That is her long term plan, mark my words, when finished with her political career she will have a lucrative position with big oil and they’ll reward her with big bonuses. It’s that simple.
