Alberta votes in referendum on staying in Canada
Albertans voted Monday on whether the province should stay in Canada or move toward a second, binding vote on independence.
Albertans voted on Monday in a referendum on the province's place in Canada. The Guardian reports that the choice is between remaining in Canada and holding a second independence referendum that would be binding.
Fox News describes the vote as non-binding. It says about three million Albertans are eligible to cast ballots.
Both outlets report divisions over the question. The Guardian says the split runs through the separatist movement itself. Fox News says polls show deep divisions within the UCP.
No results were included in the reports.
