During a recent visit to Calgary, Prime Minister Mark Carney encouraged Albertans to oppose the nine referendum questions concerning immigration and constitutional changes. Carney expressed gratitude to the crowd gathered in the city’s northeast and emphasized the importance of voting against the nine questions by the upcoming deadline. The “No to the Nine” campaign, which promotes federalism, urges Albertans to reject these questions and vote to remain part of Canada.
Carney engaged with volunteers and community members at Bridgeland Riverside Community Association Park in Calgary, discussing the campaign and showing support for the “No on the Nine” stance. He highlighted the significance of unity, emphasizing that division hinders progress and development in the country.
Additionally, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, while advocating for staying in Canada, has encouraged voters to support the other nine questions. Former Alberta premiers have also urged voters to reject the immigration-related questions on the referendum ballot.
Liberal MP Corey Hogan, representing a Calgary riding, expressed his opposition to the referendum process, stating that he would vote “no” to all nine questions. Hogan criticized the questions as manipulative and stated his reservations about using the country as a bargaining chip. While skeptical about the process, Hogan showed some openness to question seven, which pertains to abolishing the federal Senate.
Carney’s proactive engagement in Calgary aligns with his efforts to promote unity and encourage Albertans to make informed decisions in the upcoming referendum vote.
