## Resource

Alberta’s historic referendum on separation is underway, with voters tackling ten questions — including the big one on independence — in a massive, high-stakes election that could reshape Canada’s future. Ballots are being counted around the clock, with results for the separation question expected between 1 and 4 AM the day after voting ends, while the other nine questions will have unofficial tallies by morning. Election workers are handling up to 25 times more ballots than in past provincial elections, fueled by record demand for special ballots and advanced polls. Voters can skip any question they don’t want to answer — those ballots still count — and officials expect turnout to soar to 80-85% of eligible voters. This isn’t just another vote — it’s a defining moment for Canada’s most populous province. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
