Show by Ricochet Media
Alberta’s 2026 referendum saw more than 2 million voters cast ballots: The key question was whether their province should hold a second binding referendum on separation. The vote was decisive. 75% chose to remain in Canada. The referendum wasn’t just about separation, it was also about immigration and reforming the Canadian Constitution. Alberta’s referendum result is a relief for Liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney at a time when US president Donald Trump has been threatening to turn Canada into the 51st state. The United Conservative Party Premier Danielle Smith is also on record as having voted for Alberta to stay in Canada. The vote is a setback for Alberta Separatist forces represented by the Alberta Prosperity Project. Ryan Jespersen is one of Alberta’ s most prominent, popular and astute broadcasters. He’s the host of the daily talk show and podcast “Real Talk with Ryan Jespersen.”
