PM Carney Wraps up Pro-Canada Barnstorming Tour in Hometown of Edmonton
Carney told thousands in Edmonton that a vote against Canada could bring years of lost opportunities and uncertainty for Albertans.
On Friday, Prime Minister Mark Carney concluded his two-day pro-Canada tour in his hometown of Edmonton, rallying supporters at the Expo Centre to keep the province within Canada.
Albertans will vote on Monday regarding whether to remain in Canada or hold a binding referendum on quitting Confederation, prompting the prime minister's barnstorming tour.
Supporters dressed in Maple Leaf gear cheered as Carney stated, "Alberta's my home," while criticizing those "outside our borders" who want to "break us so they can own us."
Carney warned that a vote against Canada is a "dangerous bluff" that could result in "years of deep uncertainty and lost opportunities" for Albertans and the nation.
Crowds waving Canadian flags cheered songs declaring Canada will never become the 51st state, reinforcing the emotional stakes ahead of Monday's decisive referendum vote.
