Alberta voters reject a move toward independence in referendum backing Canadian unity
- Alberta voters rejected starting a process that could lead to independence, with about 76% supporting remaining in Canada and about 24% supporting a second referendum.
- The vote was not a direct decision on independence; it asked whether Alberta should hold a later, binding referendum on leaving Canada.
- Premier Danielle Smith called the referendum amid pressure from separatists within her United Conservative Party, although she supported staying in Canada.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney called the result “a great result for Canada,” while separatist leaders said their movement would continue after the defeat.
