Federalists Close Funding Gap in Alberta Referendum | Calgary News

For the first time, Canada-loyalist groups in Alberta out-raised separatists in a single week ahead of the October 19 referendum, pulling in $32,000 to their rivals’ $31,000 — a narrowing gap that signals growing momentum for the “Vote to Stay” camp. Though separatists still lead overall with over $780,000 raised versus federalists’ $223,000, this week’s surge — led by Vote to Stay and Alberta’s Voice — marks their second-highest fundraising total ever. Meanwhile, non-separatist groups like Alberta Advantage Immigrant Support Society also contributed significantly, while some campaigns remain silent on funding. With the vote looming, every dollar could tip the balance. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
