Danielle Smith: “An approved pipeline is a way to show 'Canada can work,' to frustrated Albertans, who will vote in a referendum on…”

Canada can still work. We just need to make some changes.

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.

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.

I am going to do whatever I can to convince as many Albertans as possible that Canada can work and hopefully win them over to that view.
