Alberta separation tensions peak ahead of referendum vote

Original: danielle smith

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is facing renewed pressure over the province's separation question as tensions rise among Albertans ahead of a referendum vote. A new Leger poll shows 70% of Albertans want to remain in Canada, with the undecided share climbing to 10%, and commentators note separatists and the premier herself have taken hits in the numbers. Columnists argue the more important ballot questions are the ones receiving little attention.

Why now: A new Leger poll and rising tensions around the Alberta separation referendum have put Premier Danielle Smith back in the spotlight.
