Breitbart and France 24 report that Alberta voters rejected a referendum on beginning a process toward independence from Canada, with early results showing the no side well ahead. Breitbart reports the count at 76 percent against and 23 percent in favor, with some votes still being counted, and says a second vote would have been needed before any secession process could begin. Prime Minister Mark Carney said in a statement: “Albertans chose Canada.” Coverage published before the vote described the ballot as a step toward a possible second binding referendum, and outlets differed on whether it was binding.

Highlights mark words that carry a judgement. Tap one to see why, and what a neutral writer would say. Here it is “criticizes”.

How each side tells it

Compare views
