  1. La primera ministra Danielle Smith responderá preguntas el miércoles tras el referéndum en el que cerca de tres cuartos votaron por permanecer en Canadá.

  2. Naciones originarias dicen que Elections Alberta se quedó sin boletas en algunas comunidades durante el referéndum. La Siksika Nation y otras naciones originarias reportaron casillas con poco personal y solicitudes de boletas adicionales; los organizadores afirman que las largas esperas limitaron la participación en algunas comunidades.
  3. El primer ministro Mark Carney no descarta un acuerdo migratorio para Alberta similar al pacto de Quebec de 1991. Carney dijo que Ottawa “verá” en las negociaciones y señaló el estatus distinto de Quebec; la primera ministra de Alberta, Danielle Smith, dijo a periodistas que prepara una propuesta provincial que toma como referencia el modelo de Quebec.
  4. Récord de $90 millones del bote de Lotto Max fue ganado en Alberta después del sorteo del martes, dice OLG.
