‘Hardly surprising’ many Alberta business leaders staying mum on separation: expert

An upcoming provincial referendum in Alberta has sparked discussion regarding the silence of many local business leaders on the topic of provincial separation. According to a corporate leadership expert, this lack of public commentary from the business community is considered entirely unsurprising.

The silence from corporate leaders comes as the province prepares for the referendum. While the motivations for staying mum were not detailed in the available excerpts, the expert's assessment frames the reticence as a predictable reaction within the current political and economic climate of the province.
