Alberta referendum results show overwhelming support to stay in Canada

Around 77% of Albertans voted to remain in Canada in the non-binding referendum held on 16 October, according to early results released on 20 October, defeating the proposal to trigger a future independence vote. Earlier, Prime Minister Mark Carney appealed to voters in Alberta, warning that a separation vote could create uncertainty for the province and Canada, as reported by NBC News. Premier Danielle Smith also backed staying in the federation, a stance highlighted in Fortune, while separatist leaders said their campaign would continue regardless of the outcome.
