‘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.”
