Danielle Smith: “We did also hear from Albertans that they'd rather get relief directly at the pumps, and so that's what we're going to…”

I will accept the result of this referendum.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is also voting to stay in Canada, and says recent joint deals with Ottawa — such as fast-tracking a new oil pipeline — show that a united country can get things done.

Voting yes to questions one through nine is how we send a message to Ottawa that provinces need more autonomy and respect if Canada is going to be stronger and unified.

This is now a time, a moment in Canadian history, where we are going to be able to work side by side and feel for the first time in a long time Alberta and Canada are walking together.
