'Canada is everyone, for everyone': Carney meets with Alberta remain campaigners
Carney told supporters Canada is “everyone and for everyone” as the campaign pushes to keep Alberta in the federation before an Oct. 19 referendum.
- On Friday, Prime Minister Mark Carney visited Banff, Alta., meeting about 50 supporters of the Forever Canadian campaign during his cabinet retreat. He wrote "Canada is everyone and for everyone" on the group's vehicle.
- Alberta is set to hold a referendum on Oct. 19 on whether to hold a second vote on leaving Canada. Carney has called for national unity but has not actively campaigned for Albertans to remain in the federation.
- Forever Canadian founder Thomas Lukaszuk praised Carney as a "calm" and "reassuring" presence. Lukaszuk said by standing up for Canadians in trade negotiations, Carney is showing "there is someone at the helm."
- Emergency Management Minister Eleanor Olszewski stated the government won't tell Albertans how to vote but remains a strong partner. Calgary Mayor Jeromy Farkas credited the cabinet for their "hard work" and presence across the province.
- Carney told reporters on Thursday that "Canada is worth fighting for," urging Albertans to vote on Oct. 19 or participate in early voting. He emphasized the importance of civic participation in the upcoming referendum.
