Alberta voters reject leaving Canada in referendum on separatism

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIt's five thirty, this is The Pile-On, and Alberta has voted to stay in Canada.

2. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorForty-three percent of eligible voters cast ballots in the advance period alone, up from twenty-seven point five in twenty twenty-three.

3. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThat is a turnout I'd put on a billboard.

4. 

   Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistMailed-in ballots went from fifty-one thousand to five hundred nineteen thousand. Tenfold. I've had cold fronts that stayed away less decisively than that.

5. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThis is a healing moment for the whole country, and the Prime Minister is calling it a win.

6. 

   Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistHealing? Separatists say it's only the first battle. Nobody gets healed in a first battle.

7. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorRight, and that's the exciting part, because the premier's question said a leave vote would only open the door to a later referendum.

8. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo winning meant a sequel ballot?

9. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorWinning meant a sequel. Losing means a sequel. Both sides get a sequel, Vera, and I'm thrilled for everybody. High five.

10. 

    Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistFine. High five. Ten questions on that ballot and the separation one counted first, so the other nine were basically the trailers.

11. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo Alberta voted on whether to vote again, and the answer is, check back with us after the sequel. We're back here same time tomorrow.
