Manitoba Progressive Conservative MLA Derek Johnson represents the riding of Interlake—Gimli, where global liquor colossus Diageo makes Crown Royal whisky from the finest grains of the Canadian Prairies.

Although Alberta separatists are organizing for an independence referendum and say they’re gaining momentum, a new poll released Friday suggested that only one-fifth of Alberta respondents would vote to separate. The Pollara Strategic Insights survey found that 19 per cent of the 1,000 Albertans surveyed say they would vote for separation, and 75 per cent would vote against it. If the petition receives at least 177,732 approved signatures by May, Albertans could vote on a separation referendum as soon as this fall. However, the Pollara survey suggested that only 16 per cent of young people would vote for Alberta to leave Canada. Like the Pollara survey, a margin of error does not apply for the Research Co. survey.

One of the policy proposals up for debate is to erase that commitment from the policy book outright.
