About this episode
Robson Fletcher, veteran journalist turned data strategist, joins Alberta Edge to make sense of the more than 16 polls conducted this year on Alberta separatism, including a recent survey he worked on with Probe Research. He explains where Albertans stand on separation, who the elusive "soft separatists" are, and why education may be one of the strongest—and least discussed—predictors of opinion. Fletcher also examines the challenges facing Premier Danielle Smith and argues that public frustration with the referendum process itself could become one of the most important stories to watch.
