Subhead:One in five (18%) voters in Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills backed a separatist candidate in last night’s byelection, more than triple the previous provincial election.#
Following a third-party surge in a rural byelection, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith views the emerging separatist threat as cause for concern. “This is part of the reason for the Alberta Next process.”
Her remarks refer to the province’s second autonomy panel under the United Conservatives, following the 2020 Fair Deal Panel.
