The Story
An episode of The Big Story, posted Oct. 30, says Albertans were asked a set of questions about the future of the economy, the immigration system, and Canada’s constitution, with official results released on Thursday for the full set of ballot items beyond question 10.
The episode reports that the official outcomes show voters want changes to what programs and services non-citizens can access, while striking down any changes to the constitution, including a proposal to abolish the Senate.
In the episode, host Caryn Ceolin speaks with Jared Wesley, a political science professor at the University of Alberta, to discuss what the outcomes mean for Premier Danielle Smith’s leverage against Ottawa and how an urban-rural divide showed up in the results.
Wesley and Ceolin also address how the results could affect the political landscape for the provincial NDP, including the party’s potential involvement in the issues covered by the ballot questions.
