Alberta's historic referendum vote is over. What now?

None of the 10 questions Alberta voters answered are binding. Now, it's up to Danielle Smith to decide if she uses any of the results to form a mandate. That has Albertans across the province wondering what happens next. Some independence leaders aren't backing down. Late last night, the leader of Let Alberta Decide said independence doesn't end here. Tonight concludes a campaign, but the conversation about Alberta's future in Canada and our place in Canada, and our role in Canada will continue. Thomas Lukaszek leads the group Forever Canadian. He says it won't be dismantled, but ready for whatever the premier decides to do. Now I think our premier has some decisions to make, relevant to whether she will or will not call a second referendum. That ball now is on her side of the court. Technically, the premier could still call a binding referendum in the spring, but Smith has said she won't do that. She'll be addressing the province later tonight. On Monday, she said on social media, I'm very pleased to see the initial results from Elections Alberta show widespread support for remaining in Canada. Albertans have voted for a stronger Alberta in a united Canada. The NDP leader says the referendum has come at a personal and financial cost. Albertans from every stripe in every corner of this province put on their red, gathered their strength, and fought for Canada. And Albertans deserve a better government in return. The address from the Premier airs on CBC News at 6.45 tonight. Chelsea Meador, CBC News, Calgary.
