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.
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.
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.
