Braid: Alberta premier puts Alberta separatism at centre stage, treating it as worthy moment.

She says she won't put forward a referendum on separation, but a citizen-led vote is welcome.

Smith says she doesn't agree with separatism and still believes Alberta can get a fair deal with Ottawa .

She gives full legitimacy to a debate that could tear this province apart, Braid says.

Most Albertans don't want anything to do with separation.
