Why Alberta is voting on its potential separation from Canada

What the coverage shows

NBC News and CBS News both frame the item around Alberta’s separation referendum and the question of independence from Canada. NBC foregrounds Mark Carney’s final appeal and characterizes the referendum as a risky move amid threats to Canada’s sovereignty, while CBS instead uses an explainer format, saying it is outlining why Alberta is voting and noting in the extract that around 20% of residents want separation.
