What Alberta voters really think about the risks of separation

Robson Fletcher joins Alberta Edge to unpack fresh polling from Abacus Data on how Albertans are weighing the risks and rewards of separation ahead of the October referendum. He explains why many Albertans can feel deeply attached to Canada while also feeling aggrieved by Alberta’s place within it, and offers a composite sketch of the kind of voter most inclined to see separation as a risk worth taking. We also look at what voters think separation would mean for their finances, pensions, and cost of living—and whether turnout could materially shift the final result.
