Alberta voters weigh future in Canada
On Monday voters in the oil-rich Canadian province of Alberta are deciding whether to take the first step toward a future referendum on independence.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the story as an Alberta vote about the province’s future in Canada and the possibility of moving toward separation. The Independent adds the most detail, emphasizing Alberta’s oil reserves and the legal process toward a future referendum, while NPR is more general and says voters are weighing whether to take the first step toward independence.
