Subhead:“Not everybody is willing to talk about this publicly yet and talking to Angus Reid would be part of that,” said Lise Merle, suggesting the firm is overlooking the “prevailing narrative that is catching on like wildfire across the Prairies.”#

The first in a new three-part series on Alberta separatism from polling firm Angus Reid found that 65% of respondents would support the province staying in Canada.
The key takeaway from the survey was that “Fewer than three-in-10 (29%) Albertans say they would vote for their province to leave Canada if there were a referendum today and most in that group (21%) say they are leaning that way rather than definite (8%) in their choice,” Angus Reid said of its findings.
“On the other side, two-thirds (65%) say they would vote to stay, and the larger proportion of that group are solidified in their vote (57% definitely vote to stay).”
On Tuesday’s Rebel Roundup livestream, hosts Sheila Gunn Reid and Lise Merle shared their skepticism over the poll’s finding.
“Not everybody is willing to talk about this publicly yet and talking to Angus Reid would be part of that,” Lise said, suggesting the firm is overlooking the “prevailing narrative that is catching on like wildfire across the Prairies.”
