Voters reject separation of Alberta from Canada in referendum

What the coverage shows

All six outlets converge on the vote being framed as a rejection of a first step toward Alberta separation or independence, with several explicitly calling it a win for Canadian unity. CBC projections are central in the US and international coverage, and NPR and CBS stress that the ballot was about beginning a process rather than deciding independence outright. The Guardian US and The Independent foreground Prime Minister Mark Carney’s victory, while the New York Times is the only one to note that both sides were left unhappy.
