Alberta separatists have vowed to continue their push for independence after voters rejected a plan to hold a binding referendum on leaving Canada.
周一,在埃德蒙顿的一个观看聚会上,支持者围坐在电视机前、盯着手机,等待结果揭晓。尽管遭遇挫折,许多人坚称这次投票不会让他们的运动终结。
At a watch party in Edmonton on Monday, supporters gathered around televisions and checked their phones as the results came in. Despite the setback, many insisted the vote would not bring their movement to an end.
“我们已经赢了,”分离主义领袖杰弗里·拉斯(Jeffrey Rath)宣称,认为这场竞选在过去一年里建立起一股强大力量,并主导了该省的政治辩论。拉斯表示,下一步将是控制阿尔伯塔省的统一保守党并组建政府。
“We've already won,” said separatist leader Jeffrey Rath, arguing that the campaign had built a major movement and dominated political debate in the province over the past year. Rath said the next step would be to gain control of Alberta’s United Conservative Party and form a government.
其他支持者也表达了同样的决心,认为无论结果如何,该运动都将变得更强大。
Other supporters echoed that determination, arguing that the movement would emerge stronger regardless of the result.
尽管公投计划被否决,阿尔伯塔省的分离主义者表示,他们的竞选远未结束。
Despite the rejection of the referendum plan, Alberta's separatists say their campaign is far from over.
