Danielle Smith: “Eventually we think it will have an impact on the decision makers and that’s that’s the approach we want to stick with.”

I will accept the result of this referendum.

We don’t always agree on everything. We often disagree quite publicly on several things. But today we can all agree that, on Question 10, we are voting for Option 1: to remain in Canada.

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.

We're going to be pretty busy all through the weekend making sure we get the vote out. I think high voter turnout will really give us a good idea of how Albertans really feel and that's what we're working on.
