Episode Danielle Smith's post-referendum problem

0:00 24:07

Alberta has decided its fate remains within a united Canada.

More than 75% of voters in Monday's historic referendum struck down the idea of separating from the country, a result Prime Minister Mark Carney says he's 'thrilled' about.

As the results continue to roll in for the other nine questions, however, the conversation surrounding the province's future is far from over. And so is the question of sovereignty.

Host Caryn Ceolin is speaking with political strategist Zain Velji about what question ten's results mean for Premier Danielle Smith and the UCP, where Alberta's separatists go from here, and how Quebec is taking note of it all.
