Alberta separatism has shifted from a fringe cause to a referendum, according to PBS, as the province prepares to vote on a first step toward leaving Canada. AP News reports that Alberta separatists say they will keep fighting after an independence vote. A new poll cited by Global News shows that an Alberta separation referendum is 'not very likely.' The New York Times reports a Calgary crowd rallied for Canada as the vote on secession nears. Fortune notes that Alberta, home to the world's fourth-largest oil reserves, will vote on a first step to leaving Canada. The coverage reflects competing signals: separatist momentum, public rallying for continued union, and polling that suggests low likelihood of success.
