  1. Alberta referendum: about 76% vote against starting process to leave Canada

    Alberta held a referendum on Oct 19 on whether to start the process of leaving Canada. Unofficial Elections Alberta results showed about 76% of the nearly 1.9 million ballots counted backed staying in Canada and about 24% backed starting the independence process. Prime Minister Mark Carney, who grew up in Edmonton, called it a 'great result for Canada'; the province's premier, who opposed separation, said Albertans voted for a stronger Alberta within a united Canada, while many supporters of her United Conservative Party were in the separatist camp.
