Ivar and I were in and saw the Camrose & Area Animal Shelter Society set-up looking for bottle donations, so we dropped off what I had in the truck. Come see them in the parking lot between Pet Valu and Safeway!

Stop attacking vulnerable Albertans, Premier. There is still time for you to do the right thing.

A new poll reported by CBC shows most Albertans want to stay in Canada, and many believe Danielle Smith has handled this referendum issue poorly.

But one detail should concern everyone:

Support for separation rises when the question becomes more confusing.

When Albertans were asked a simple yes-or-no question about leaving Canada, support for separation dropped to 30% and support for staying rose to 67%.

But Smith’s actual 37-word referendum question produced very different results, with more people supporting a vague “process” that could lead to separation later.

Even more striking, more than half of Albertans said they found the official wording confusing.

That matters.

Because democracy depends on clarity.

People deserve to fully understand what they’re voting for, especially when the future of a country is involved. Brexit showed the world what can happen when emotionally charged referendum politics collide with vague language, political grievance, and consequences people don’t fully grasp until afterward.

And Canadians should pay attention to another finding in this poll:
Seven in ten Albertans believe separatists may not accept the result if the vote fails.

That is not a small thing.

So what exactly is this referendum accomplishing besides deepening division and uncertainty?

Is this really about Alberta’s future?
Or is it about managing political pressure inside the UCP?

And if most Albertans want to remain Canadian, why is the province being pushed toward months of constitutional chaos over a question many people don’t even clearly understand?

This is why CBC matters.

Because public broadcasters are willing to slow these moments down, examine the wording, question the strategy, and give Canadians the context needed to understand what is actually happening beneath the slogans.
