Alberta residents have voted to remain part of Canada in the province’s first-ever referendum on separation, in a much-needed win for Prime Minister Mark Carney as he attempts to unify the country amid an ongoing trade war with the United States.
With more than one million votes counted, about ۷۶ percent supported remaining in Canada, compared with ۲۳ percent who backed beginning a process that could lead to separation, early results showed on Tuesday.
The vote was not a direct referendum on independence but would have set oil-rich Alberta on a path towards a future vote on separation from Canada.
