Description
Thomas Lukaszuk, who led Forever Canadian and campaigned for a remain vote, addressed supporters Monday night after early referendum results came in. “Alberta will not be the weak link in Confederation," he told the crowd. "We Albertans are as proud to be Canadians as any other Canadians across the country.” He added that the overwhelming majority vote to stay in the country sends a message to other countries not to "mess with Canada."
