The cities hate this nonsense. Calgarians would vote 76% against this, and Edmonton is even higher at 80%. So long as Danielle Smith doesn’t disenfranchise the cities (and I wouldn’t put it past her) this referendum, if it ever happens, is dead on arrival.
They wouldn’t necessarily need to win Calgary and Edmonton outright but you simply cannot get blown out like that in the cities and hope to win a province-wide referendum. It’s kaput.
This poll also finds the UCP and NDP deadlocked at 43% in Calgary. It seems few people have changed their minds since last time – Calgary is still eyewateringly close and both parties (but especially the NDP) need to do well there.

My brother’s a university educated geologists who lives in Calgary he is far more liberal then myself and has always voted CPC federally and UPC provincally, municipally he has voted for the NDP.
If Carney can pull off the south line responsibly and Nenshi can separate himself before the next election and stay out of the dramatics im more then willing based of his sentiment now that he would vote ndp provincally.
Nenshi is taking all the heat right now for the numbers , but he is very smartly staying out of everything untill the dust settles and the election is closer .
Smith is not tangled up yet and holding her numbers , but her optics and the state of her party is beginning to get very complicated,very fast .

Separation is nothing more than ex “freedom convoy” morons throwing a temper tantrum.
There are zero positives with even talk of separation. It makes businesses nervous, investment more uncertain, and housing prices could absolutely tank.
