🇨🇦 Carney Lectures Alberta After Ottawa Spent Years Provoking It

Mark Carney calls an Alberta referendum a dangerous bluff, which is rich coming from the class of federal geniuses who spent a decade throttling the energy sector, centralizing power in Ottawa, and then acting shocked when western alienation stops being a regional hobby. Ahead of his Calgary Stampede appearance, Carney wants Albertans to believe separation is the real danger, not the regime that raids their wealth, blocks pipelines, and treats national unity like a one-way transfer payment. The basics were reported plainly enough.

This is the Liberal formula: undermine provincial sovereignty, moralize from the capital, then brand the backlash reckless. Carney is selling the same post-national managerial sermon Canadians got under Trudeau, just with a banker’s voice and better tailoring. Alberta is expected to bankroll a federation increasingly run for Laurentian bureaucrats, global climate hobbyhorses, and consensus addicts who think dissent is the problem. If Ottawa wants to stop separatist talk, maybe stop governing like Alberta is a colony with a cheque book.
