Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney says Alberta separation vote comes at ‘worst time’
Carney said a separation vote would deepen division as he campaigned for national unity and pointed to more than 140,000 pipeline jobs.
- On Thursday, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney addressed 5,000 people at a Calgary rally, warning that the United States is attempting to "break Canada" so it could "own us" ahead of Monday's referendum on Alberta's future.
- Carney acknowledged that Ottawa made Albertans feel "like our resources weren't our own," and the province will vote Monday on whether to begin a legal process toward potential separation.
- President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to make Canada the 51st U.S. state amid an ongoing trade war. Carney countered by citing the Pacific Link pipeline, which he said would create more than 140,000 jobs and reduce dependence on the United States.
- Rejecting Carney's warnings, Mitch Sylvestre of the Alberta Prosperity Project stated U.S. interests "don't play a role" until they win government. Let Alberta Decide leader Keith Wilson dismissed concerns about global instability timing.
- McGill University professor Daniel Bland called Carney's popularity "highly unusual" for a Liberal leader, noting he has benefited from a "Trump effect" that rallied Canadians around their leader even in Alberta.
