Alberta votes on path to independence in test of Canadian unity
Voters in Canada’s oil-rich Alberta province are being asked on Monday whether to open a path towards an independence referendum. Polls suggest separatists face an uphill battle, but the consultation has become a test of national unity as Prime Minister Mark Carney confronts a trade war with the US.

FLIC Trust Score70 / 100
How FLIC Trust Scores workFLIC Trust Scores turn community ratings into a 0–100 signal about how readers assess a story. Fake News votes lower the score, while Liberal, Conservative, and Independent classifications support it. The formula also rewards a balanced split between Liberal and Conservative ratings instead of treating one political viewpoint as automatically more trustworthy. Scores can change as more people vote and represent community judgment, not a factual verdict or substitute for reading the original reporting. Learn more about how FLIC works.
