Carney to Attend 'Forever Canadian' Rallies in Alberta Days Before Referendum
Carney will confront separatist momentum and foreign interference concerns as Alberta voters prepare to weigh a nonbinding independence question.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney will attend two "Forever Canadian" rallies in Calgary on October 15 and Edmonton on October 16, campaigning to keep Alberta in Canada ahead of the October 19 referendum.
- Voters in Alberta will decide on October 19 whether the province should pursue separation from Canada, though the outcome serves as an initial step gauging interest in a formal, binding referendum.
- With just 10 days remaining, evidence suggests foreign actors are targeting Albertans, prompting Canada's foreign influence commissioner to notify more than 60 groups about legal reporting obligations.
- Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc played down interference concerns on Sunday, while Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre urged focus on domestic issues, telling critics to "spend less time worrying about silly tweets."
- Former Alberta NDP premier Rachel Notley questioned why U.S. entities might support separation, while LeBlanc reiterated that final decisions remain in the hands of citizens at polling stations.
