Story summary

Prime Minister Mark Carney, who grew up in Alberta, will attend two pro-Canada rallies on October 15 and 16 in Calgary and Edmonton respectively, just before the provincial referendum scheduled for October 19. The "Forever Canadian" campaign, initiated by former Alberta deputy premier Thomas Lukaszuk, aims to encourage Albertans to vote against separation from Canada. Carney’s participation is seen as a significant move to bolster support for unity ahead of the critical vote where Albertans will decide on staying in Canada or holding future discussions about separation along with other constitutional and immigration issues. On October 15, Carney is expected to join Lukaszuk at a rally in Calgary to promote his message that "Canada is worth fighting for."
