‘I think they could actually win’: Low turnout could favour separatists in Alberta referendum, Kenney worries
Jason Kenney says separatists could win if turnout falls to 40% or lower, urging pro-Canada voters to show up in large numbers.
Summary
Former Alberta premier Jason Kenney is calling on Albertans to vote in next week’s referendum on separation in large numbers, and to deliver a decisive result for the federalist side. “I’m concerned about turnout, because the lower the turnout, the better for the separatist side,” Kenney told CTV Question Period host Vassy Kapelos in an interview airing Sunday. “If turnout is 40 per cent or below, I think they could actually win.”
The former Premier of Alberta and Minister under Stephen Harper is today a tenor of the federalist cause. Jason Kenney is campaigning to save his province from independence. And he really does not go unnoticed.
