🍁Happy Thursday morning, dear readers,

New polling out of Alberta from Ipsos is shedding light on the political landscape in the province ahead of next month’s referendums, including the closely watched question on Alberta’s future in Canada.

When asked how they would vote if a binding referendum on separation were held, 74 per cent of Albertans said they would vote to stay in Canada. Another 14 per cent said they would vote to leave, while 12 per cent were unsure.

The difference in commitment between the two camps is striking. Among those who would vote to stay, 90 per cent said their choice was definite, while 6 per cent said they would probably stay and 3 per cent said they were leaning toward staying.

🍁338Canada = Canadian politics by the numbers.
