Two-thirds of Albertans would vote to stay in Canada or lean that way, new poll suggests | CBC News

A new poll by the Angus Reid Institute reveals that 65% of Albertans would vote to stay in Canada or lean that way if a referendum on Alberta independence were held today, while 29% would vote for separation. The poll highlights the political division within the United Conservative Party on the issue, with 41% of UCP voters leaning toward leaving and 16% saying they would definitely vote to leave Canada. The majority of Albertans in favor of remaining in Canada cite economic challenges and a strong sense of Canadian identity as reasons to stay.
