Yes it looks like you were closer than me . I didn’t expect the remain side to get such strong turnout .Roughly 76 per cent of Albertans voted in favour of staying in Canada and 24 per cent for a binding referendum, according to preliminary results from Elections Alberta, which had counted ballots from 74 per cent of voting locations by 5 a.m. MT on Tuesday.

Federal and provincial leaders thank Albertans for voting in referendum, Smith to address the province tonight — Calgary Herald
Provincial and federal leaders thanked Albertans for participating in the referendum and voting to remain in Canada. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said she was pleased to see Albertans vote to remain in Canada in the initial results from Elections Canada, via a Monday night social media post...
Correction: It should never have been necessary.
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.
Opinion: The pro-Canada side won in Alberta. That’s not an endorsement of the status quo — The Globe and Mail
Mark Carney would do well to remember the example set by Pierre Trudeau in the 1980 Quebec referendum
In her televised address on Tuesday evening, Smith called the voter turnout for Monday’s referendum historic, thanking Albertans who cast their ballot. She said she will be honouring Albertan’s mandate and that it is time to move forward from the issue.

It probably isn't anywhere close to that. Not all the people that voted for a referendum will be party members. And, there is the 75% that voted no to consider.
I suspect that at the next AGM the party will vote on whether it is a separatist party or a Canada party. Should be interesting because both sides will claim the party is theirs and the other side should go form a new party. In the meantime CBC and the other taxpayer funded media, as well as the dippers will spread as much fake news as they can reasonably get away with.
From what I can see, UCP is much like the BC Conservatives. There are us fiscal conservatives, and the christian right. WHile we are in agreement on much, there is a large divide when it comes to social policy. Probably close to the same for and against separation as UCP as well. Likewise, the more remote areas of the province are more in favour of divorce than the cities.
I agree , the B.C. Conservatives come across as Christy Clarke Liberals . If you liked her policies and time in office they should be ones vote . But don’t vote B.C. Conservatives and expect a Conservative government .
I'm glad they had it, and I didn't vote "No" to every question, but leaving the federation is a foolhardy task.
Wasn't the number 24%?
And in that case, 76% think it's time to get back to work, instead of crying in their beer.
They folded and amalgamated with the conservatives , took the conservative name and kicked the conservatives out .Now we have a liberal Conservative Party .
The other nine questions showed that there is plenty of discontent with the status quo .
