🇨🇦 Canada 'stronger together' than apart, Carney says in Thanksgiving message ahead of Alberta visit

Nothing says national unity like a prime minister flying into Alberta to plead for the country to stay intact after years of Ottawa treating the West as a resource colony. Mark Carney suddenly remembers his Alberta roots and starts talking about being stronger together, all while warning about threats to the economy, security, and way of life. Yes, the same way of life hollowed out by the very class of managers he represents. Even the reported details give away the panic: a referendum question on separation, a rally by a pro-Canada group, and emergency nostalgia about generations of Albertans building the country.

Then there is the comic twist. Carney sells unity by touting a new West Coast pipeline, as if Albertans are supposed to forget who spent years smothering energy development with regulation, ideology, and elite contempt. Meanwhile Poilievre is in Detroit talking tariffs and auto production collapse from 2.3 million vehicles in 2016 to 1.2 million last year. That is the real Canada after the Trudeau era: weaker, poorer, more divided, and suddenly told to clap for unity on command.
