Most Canadians Want Alberta to Stay, an Ipsos Poll Finds

An Ipsos poll reported by Global News finds that an overwhelming majority of Canadians want Alberta to remain part of a unified Canada, and that respondents would vote for their own province to remain as well. «Overwhelming majority» is the report's characterization of the result, not a specific figure. The second finding is the more telling one, because it asks a different question. Wanting Alberta in the country is a view about someone else's province; being willing to vote your own province in is a view about your own. Both answers landing the same way suggests the attachment isn't just to other people's borders.
