Opinion: Canada will be forever altered by Alberta's referendum

Description

Albertans are being asked to vote on Monday about whether their province should continue to be part of Canada, or take further steps toward becoming an independent country. Whatever the outcome, Alberta – and by extension Canada – will be permanently altered. "Even if the separatists lose on Monday in Alberta – and every indication is that they will – there’s every likelihood that their movement becomes a permanent fixture of Alberta’s political culture," Dawson argues. #opinion #canada #alberta #referendum #abpoli Subscribe to The Globe and Mail's Morning Update to get stories directly in your inbox: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/newsletters/subscribe-morning-update/
