Alberta heads to polls to decide whether to hold vote on separation from Canada
Polling suggests most Albertans favour remaining part of the country, although the debate alone has proven divisive.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets focus on Alberta’s separation vote and present it as a divisive test of support, with each noting that polling suggests the province is not united on the issue. BBC News frames the story around Alberta going to the polls and says most Albertans appear to favour remaining in Canada, while Fox News foregrounds the non-binding referendum itself and, in its extract, uniquely highlights deep divisions within the UCP.
