Alberta Separatists Vow to Continue Push Despite Likely Unity Vote
Alberta separatists have vowed to continue their campaign for independence regardless of the outcome of Monday's non-binding referendum, arguing that a victory for unity would fail to address long-standing grievances and fuel further separatist momentum. While polls indicate a majority of Albertans favor remaining in Canada, pro-independence groups have mobilized heavily in the final days, organizing rallies in Edmonton and Calgary. Prime Minister Mark Carney has urged voters to reject secession, warning that the vote occurs at a critical time for national stability. The referendum includes ten questions, with the primary query asking whether to initiate the legal process for a binding secession vote.
