Less than one-quarter of Albertans support proceeding to a binding vote on separation, but support for the other nine questions on Monday’s referendum may be higher, a new survey shows. An Ipsos poll conducted exclusively for Global News suggests seven in 10 Albertans say they plan to vote for Alberta to remain a province of Canada in the upcoming referendum, holding steady from previous polling conducted in September. The proportion of voters who said they would vote for Alberta to begin the legal process of holding a binding referendum vote on separation increased three percentage points from September to 23 per cent. That support is highest among men (27 per cent), those aged 35 to 54 (27 per cent) and those living outside Calgary and Edmonton (29 per cent). “We’re seeing only about a quarter of people in Alberta saying they give support for this, but there’s a fair amount of diversity in the opinions among the people that we interviewed depending on where they lived and what their demographic background is,” Darrell Bricker, chairman of Ipsos Canada, told Global News.

Every veteran salmon angler, guide and outfitter in the Miramichi watershed remembers their first encounter with a striped bass. For Rip Cunningham, a member of the storied Black Brook Salmon Club, it happened at the junction of the Main Southwest Miramichi River and the Cains River. “I caught what I thought was a salmon, and I was going, ‘This fish isn’t jumping. This is odd,’” he said. He reeled it in. “The guides who live on the river, who’d been fishing on the river for years, said ‘What’s that?’ They had no idea whatsoever.”It was a striped bass, a fish Cunningham believes now represents an existential threat to the Miramichi’s most iconic species: his beloved wild Atlantic salmon. Byron Coughlan, who runs the County Haven fishing lodge near Blackville, was guiding two salmon anglers from New England about 15 years ago when they caught two bass. “They said, ‘Your river's done,’” he recalled. “‘The bass is going to eat everything.’ They said, ‘Eventually you won’t have any salmon.’”LISTEN | The saga of salmon, striped bass and the Miramichi:Atlantic Voice26:10A tale of two fish on the MiramichiHow much do you meddle with Mother Nature?
