Premier Smith vows appeal of Alberta separation court ruling

UCP government challenges decision blocking referendum

· 1 min read · HOC Edmonton Desk

Premier Danielle Smith announced Saturday that Alberta's UCP government will appeal a court ruling that blocked a pro-separation referendum. The decision, which many believed would end the separation push, has been given new life by the government's legal challenge. Smith's move sets up another round of litigation over whether Albertans should get a direct say on separation from Canada.
