- Albertans have voted to remain in Canada, CBC News projects, rejecting the proposal to begin the separation process.
- Early results in the province’s referendum show more than three-quarters of votes in favour of staying part of the country.
- Supporters at the Forever Canadian watch party broke into cheers and waved Canadian flags when they saw the first results on a screen.
Not really. It settled a divisive issue for the foreseeable future. The next generation may decide differently, but you should accept defeat and move on. And try to spend time on issues that matter.
I don’t know if you can call a 50 point margin a divisive issue - it’s pretty one-sided, it appears
It’s a deep trench and did capture a lot of attention.
There is more to politics than just yes/no.

Not when you are being asked yes no.

I cannot spend sufficient time to explain this to you[well].
Good video, this doesn’t cover what just happened. The vote was overwhelming against leaving Canada. As an Albertan, its still a small minority looking to leave, an uneducated one at that. We would be so royally fucked if we left due to our economy crashing and probably getting annexed by the US.
It highlights that there is more to politics than yes/no
No fucking shit, didn’t need a video for that. But the reality is STILL that the fucking loud rednecks are not the ones who will guide the destiny of Alberta. They can occupy Ottawa a thousand times and hold a hundred referendums and its still not them in charge ultimately. The largest voting block is far more social democrat / liberal in Edmonton and Calgary.
I am sorry, but I don’t see how that is relevant to my statement of things being divisive even though the vote may be all but close.
Good vid, thanks
MAGA accepting defeat at the polls? Do you live on this planet, or are you visiting from outer space?
Fucking Victor Orban did. Even the anti democratic weirdos listen when the people speak loud enough.
It was only “divisive” in the minds of fringe imbeciles. This should never have come to a ballot.
I don’t think it does settle it, really. The results tell a frustrating story. 75% of two million people said stay in Canada, but about half of that voted at all on the remaining questions which seems to say “we want to stay in Canada, but only on our terms”.
