Sparked by immigration and constitutional debates, Premier Danielle Smith’s addition of the tenth question has ignited fierce national attention. Journalists are examining border towns like Lloydminster, treaty rights, and the economic risks and rewards of independence — from potential economic autonomy to investor fears. Experts are drawing parallels to Quebec’s past referendums, weighing lessons as Albertans prepare to make a decision that could redefine the country’s political landscape.
