October 20, 2026 · 21 min

Show notes

After a historic referendum, Albertans have voted to remain in Canada. When we recorded this episode, just over a third of the votes had been counted, and 76 per cent of them were in favour of staying.


CBC Alberta reporter Jason Markusoff joins Jayme to break down what the result means for the future of the independence movement and for the country.
