Summary
Alberta’s Premier Danielle Smith rallied thousands to stay in Canada, urging voters to support her party’s full referendum slate as a demand for fairness from Ottawa — while Transport Minister Devin Dreeshen dodged direct answers, deflecting to unity over individual votes. Polls show 73% of Albertans want to remain part of Canada, yet 39% of UCP supporters still favor separation — including 10% who’d consider joining the U.S. Despite internal divisions, the UCP officially backs staying in Canada, as ministers like Tanya Fir reaffirm a united Canada with a strong Alberta. Smith also pushed her controversial policies on school books and puberty blockers, making Canada’s future and Alberta’s identity the province’s hottest political topics.
