Carney hits Calgary to stump for unity, gets swarmed by selfie-seeking well-wishers
Carney urged Albertans to reject separation and nine other ballot questions as he drew small crowds and selfies at campaign stops.
- On Thursday, Prime Minister Mark Carney toured Calgary to rally the pro-Canada vote ahead of Monday's referendum, posing for selfies and signing flags with well-wishers throughout the city.
- Carney urged Albertans to reject nine ballot questions involving immigration and the Constitution, which critics label an anti-immigrant dog whistle seeking to wrest power from Ottawa and abolish the Senate.
- At a park rally with fewer than 100 people, Carney told the crowd, "It's time for us to come together," adding, " no to the nine."
- Later Thursday, Carney joins former Alberta deputy premier Thomas Lukaszuk at a Forever Canadian rally, while Smith headlines a United Conservative Party fundraiser and speaks Friday in Calgary alongside federal Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre.
- Earlier this week, Smith posted a video announcing she voted to stay in Canada while urging Albertans to approve the other nine questions, claiming they provide leverage for a strong Alberta.
