2 Newfoundlanders in Alberta share opposing views on separation

I think I would definitely vote separation. Lisa Barnett moved from Newfoundland to Edmonton when she was 18. But her roots on the Rock do not mean she wants to stay in Canada, even if her family back home disagrees. I think it's especially hard for Newfoundlanders. If you think about the big picture, a lot of them left home to move here and made this their home. And then the idea that it would not be a part of Canada anymore would be a little bit shocking, right? Burnett will be among those voting in Alberta's referendum Monday. Many have already voted in advance polls. Burnett says Alberta is giving Canada more than it's getting, and she's concerned about immigration and Alberta's stay in federal voting. Those reasons make me want to say, you know what, I think enough is enough, and I think people are really fed up. Thousands of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians have moved to Alberta over the years, often for work. Burnett runs the Facebook group Edmonton Newfies with more than 30,000 members. She keeps politics off the page. It gets too heated. If it ever came down to it that Alberta did separate, I would sell off and I would move back to Newfoundland. Paula Kravitz has been campaigning to keep Canada together. She's from Stephenville, Newfoundland, but has lived in Alberta more than 30 years. Kravitz is adamant Alberta is part of Canada. Alberta is Canadian. I'm Canadian. I understand some people are upset on certain things, but breaking up Alberta from Canada is not the answer. The referendum Monday won't decide if Alberta leaves Canada or not. It just asks, should Alberta have a binding vote on separation later, keeping the door open for national divorce? Canada is worth fighting for, and I won't stop until this is put to bed. Here in Newfoundland and Labrador, people are watching this referendum. The West, still a close connection for many East Coasters. Laura Howell, CBC News, St. John's.
