As most already know, the vote includes a main question on whether the province should remain in Confederation or start the process toward a future binding separation referendum. Plus nine other questions pushed by Premier Danielle Smith on immigration and constitutional, provincial autonomy issues. Carney is now explicitly urging Albertans to vote to remain in Canada and to reject the other nine referendum questions: “No to the Nine.” ✔️ He is urging Albertans to vote to stay in Confederation and remain part of Canada. ✔️ He is explicitly saying “Say no to the nine” and “No to the Nine,” telling people to reject the other nine ballot questions on immigration and the Constitution. ✔️ “It’s time for us to come together, stand up for ourselves and take care of each other.” ✔️ “There couldn’t be a worse time for this referendum. It’s a dangerous and divided world.” ✔️ “We are stronger together and Canada is worth fighting for.” ✔️ “Polls don’t vote. People do.” ✔️ “For those who are undecided, it’s hard to think of a worse time for a referendum or a better time for the province. The world is dangerously divided.” ✔️ “Canada is working.” He has pointed to federal and provincial projects such as housing, high-speed rail, and a pipeline to the West Coast, arguing “You can’t build big things on fault lines.” ✔️ “It’s for us. It’s all for Canada.” ✔️ “We’re making ourselves stronger as a country, stronger as Albertans,”. He has framed the referendum as poorly timed given external pressures and has emphasized turnout, especially for those already decided. These themes build on his earlier Thanksgiving message from Edmonton, in which he said generations of Albertans helped build the country, “It’s yours. It’s ours. And it’s worth fighting for,” and that division would hinder big projects. The main evening speech at the Forever Canadian rally, organized by former Alberta deputy premier Thomas Lukaszuk, was scheduled to begin around 6:45 p.m. MT. Live coverage has been available on CTV, CBC, CP24, and YouTube. Full verbatim text of the evening speech was not yet widely published in the reports available as of late evening EDT, but the day’s remarks and prior statements have been consistent on unity, rejecting the nine questions, and the costs of division. Carney, who grew up in Edmonton, is also scheduled for events involving Premier Smith, including a Red Deer stop, and an Edmonton Forever Canadian rally on Friday.
