Alberta votes Monday on starting separation from Canada.

Alberta holds the world’s fourth-largest proven oil reserves.

A yes vote only instructs the government to begin the legal process toward a separation referendum.

“Some outside our borders are working to break us so they can own us,” said Prime Minister Mark Carney.

Carney warns a yes would bring years of deep division and great uncertainty.
