Carney, Smith join forces at Alberta brewery to stump for a united Canada
Carney said Alberta faces global threats and unprecedented growth as voters weigh separation and other ballot questions in Monday’s referendum.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney and Premier Danielle Smith urged Albertans to vote to stay in Canada during a joint appearance in Red Deer, Alta., ahead of Monday's referendum.
- Voters face 10 questions on the ballot, including whether Alberta should remain in Canada or hold a binding separation referendum, alongside Smith's proposals for increased control over immigration and constitutional powers.
- Carney called a vote against Canada "a dangerous bluff" at a Calgary rally, while Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre argued in Calgary that quitting is not the solution.
- Although Carney and Smith share a united Canada stance, the prime minister urged Albertans to reject the other nine ballot questions, a position the premier intends to challenge.
- Carney stated the referendum comes as global forces threaten Canada, yet argued Alberta is poised for "unprecedented growth" within a spirit of co-operative federalism.
