🇨🇦 Alberta rejects Independence.

It appears that Alberta will not become an independent state separate from Canada as the early results of a referendum in the province suggest that a large majority of Alberta citizens have rejected the holding of a further referendum to decide on beginning the process of achieving separation from the rest of Canada. No independent Alberta postage stamps after all then.
