Prime Minister Mark Carney expressed concerns about the upcoming Alberta referendum on separatism, labeling the promises made during such campaigns as a 'very dangerous bluff.' Drawing from his experience as the former governor of the Bank of England during the Brexit referendum, Carney warned that voters may not fully understand the implications of their choices. He emphasized the economic benefits of remaining part of Canada, such as access to a large market and free trade agreements with 1.5 billion people globally. Carney announced his commitment to campaigning for Canadian unity through cooperative federalism, engaging with all provinces and Indigenous Peoples. The Alberta referendum is set to question whether residents want to remain in Canada or pursue a binding vote on separation. Additionally, recent agreements between the federal and Alberta governments aim to establish a carbon pricing system and commence a new oil pipeline project to export energy to Asian markets. The annual western premiers conference is also taking place in Alberta, where regional leaders will discuss business and interprovincial relationships.
