Carney urges unity in light of Alberta’s separation vote
Trump’s most recent remarks in reference to Canada come as Carney is facing strain on the homefront.
He has called for unity after Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announced the province will hold a referendum on whether to remain in Canada.
Carney has described the referendum question as a “very dangerous bluff,” comparing it to the Brexit vote held in the U.K.in 2016, which led to the nation leaving the European Union.
Carney, who was Governor of the Bank of England at the time, said he “saw first-hand what happened in the United Kingdom, when the view was ‘vote for this, it’ll be soft, and then we’ll negotiate.’”
