Alberta separatism is a reality, despite establishment figures such as Carney trying to deny the facts.
As the oil-rich province of Alberta gears up for the October referendum on separating from globalist Canada, the pushback from defenders of the status quo is relentless.
Liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney is one of them.
After branding Alberta essential to Canada, Carney has criticized its upcoming referendum as a ‘dangerous bluff’, comparing it to the Brexit process of the UK leaving the European Union.
Mark Carney puts Alberta on notice:
“In these separation issues, it is often advanced that vote for this and it’s a free option, vote for this and we will strengthen your our hand in a future negotiation. That is a very dangerous bluff. That is a very dangerous bluff.”

BBC reported:
“Carney, who led the Bank of England during Brexit, said that 10 years on from the referendum the UK was ‘trying to undo what people didn’t think they were voting for, but what they ended up having’.
He also cautioned against voting in favor of a separation vote as a way to strengthen Alberta’s negotiating position with Ottawa, saying it may bring unintended consequences.”
The 19 October vote will decide if Albertans want to remain part of Canada or if a binding vote on separation is to be held at a later date.
“Speaking to reporters on Monday, Carney said he will be campaigning for Canadian unity in the coming months. ‘We have to be very careful about this’, he said, adding: ‘There is a very strong, positive case for Canada, a strong Alberta in a united Canada’.
Supporters of Alberta independence believe that the oil-rich province has long been overlooked by decision-makers in Ottawa, the national capital, and that federal environmental policies have hindered its ability to build oil and gas pipelines and develop its natural resources.”
This might be the worst possible thing you could say.
Carney called Alberta’s separation referendum a “dangerous bluff.”
That is exactly the WRONG thing to say to a province that has spent ten years airing every grievance the Liberals wouldn’t listen to.
