Carney at Stampede as Alberta Votes | Montreal News
Description
Prime Minister Mark Carney donned cowboy boots and a hat to charm Alberta at the Calgary Stampede, as Ottawa ramps up efforts to keep the province in the fold ahead of a high-stakes October 19 referendum on secession. With federal politicians flooding the event, they’re pushing a message of growth, inclusion, and fairness — values they say define the West — even as Alberta’s political leanings remain skeptical of Liberals. Meanwhile, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, also an Albertan, echoed calls for unity, blaming federal policies for the province’s woes. First Nations leaders joined Carney in advocating for a united Canada, while pro-independence groups countered with events of their own, arguing Alberta could thrive outside Ottawa’s grasp. As the vote nears, the nation watches closely — this isn’t just Alberta’s choice, it’s Canada’s future.
