Alberta voters weigh future in Canada

What the coverage shows

All three outlets focus on Alberta’s vote and frame it around the province’s relationship to Canada, with NPR twice emphasizing that the ballot was about taking a first step toward a possible independence referendum. The New York Times alone says the referendum left both sides unhappy, while the South China Morning Post is the only outlet to foreground a projected rejection of independence as a victory for Mark Carney and Canadian unity.
