Alberta separatists lost the vote. They'll continue their fight inside Danielle Smith's party

Despite losing the recent referendum, Alberta separatists are doubling down on their cause within Danielle Smith's United Conservative Party (UCP). Smith has publicly reaffirmed her commitment to a united Canada, but her supporters who favor separation remain vocal and active. This internal conflict could influence future party dynamics and policy directions, especially as separatist sentiments continue to simmer among a significant portion of the base. The outcome signals a potential challenge for Smith's leadership as she navigates these divergent views within her party.
