Summary

Albertans are going to the polls to decide whether to hold a non-binding referendum on separation from Canada. Fox News reports that about three million Albertans are eligible to vote and that polls show deep divisions within the UCP over the question. BBC reports that the vote is framed as a choice between remaining in Canada and pursuing independence, and that the debate is dividing even close-knit families, including a father and son on opposite sides. BBC also reports that polling suggests most Albertans favour remaining part of the country, although the debate alone has proven divisive.
