Prime Minister Mark Carney says US is trying to break Canada as Alberta votes on separation path
Carney said a separation push could bring years of division and lost opportunities as advance voting continued and 174,532 ballots were cast on day 1.
- On Thursday, Prime Minister Mark Carney campaigned at a 'Forever Canadian' rally in Calgary, urging Albertans to keep the province in Canada and warning that a vote against it would cause 'deep division and great uncertainty.'
- Carney's urgency stems from rising global instability and U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war, with repeated threats to make Canada the 51st U.S. state heightening economic vulnerability.
- Carney pointed to the Pacific Link pipeline as evidence of economic benefits, claiming it would create more than 140,000 jobs, while speakers Deborah Yedlin and Jon Cornish advocated for unity.
- With advance voting running through Saturday, Carney urged volunteers to ensure turnout before Monday's final vote, also asking Albertans to reject nine additional referendum questions on immigration and constitutional changes.
- Pro-Independence group Let Alberta Decide co-chair Tanya Clemens argued Carney's agreements with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith amount to 'pinky promises' that fail to resolve long-standing grievances with Ottawa.
