Federal and provincial leaders thank Albertans for voting in referendum, Smith to address the province tonight — Calgary Herald

Six days before the 1980 Quebec referendum, Prime Minister Trudeau (Senior, not Potato), who had returned to the Prime Minister’s Office only a few months earlier, took to the stage at Montreal’s now long-demolished Paul Sauvé Arena.
Mr. Trudeau warned the other provinces, on behalf of the Quebec MPs, that even if Quebeckers voted to stay in Canada, that vote could not be taken as an endorsement of the status quo. “We are … telling you in the other provinces that we will not agree to your interpreting a ‘no’ vote as an indication that everything is fine and can remain as it was before,” Mr. Trudeau said.
The vote, favourable though it was to the continuation of Canada, is not an endorsement of the status quo – and roughly one-quarter of Albertans have said they want to hold another referendum on leaving Canada. Mr. Carney mustn’t discount that, as Pierre Trudeau did not, four decades ago.
