Carney warns outside forces seek to divide Canada ahead of Alberta separation referendum

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has publicly campaigned in Alberta, urging voters to reject the upcoming separation referendum, framing it as an attempt to 'break' Canada and warning of 'deep uncertainty' and potential constitutional crisis. The referendum, if successful, would trigger negotiations but not immediate secession, with the provincial government's stance and voter turnout remaining uncertain. Carney also linked the Pacific Link pipeline to national unity and reduced US energy dependence.
