Canadian PM Urges Alberta to Stay Amid Upcoming Referendum

Prime Minister Mark Carney addressed Canadians on Monday, urging Alberta to remain in Canada as a vote next week will decide whether to hold a referendum on leaving the country. Carney warned that a referendum would start a “long and uncertain process” at a dangerous time for the nation. In his holiday message, he noted that Thanksgiving would feel different as Albertans face a pivotal decision about their future. The outcome could set the stage for significant changes in Canada’s federal structure and national unity.
