No evidence Carney threatened emergency powers against Alberta separatists
Fact-checkers found the video was spliced with audio from a 2025 campaign event, and Carney never linked emergency powers to Alberta separatism.
- Claims that Prime Minister Mark Carney threatened to use the Emergencies Act to stop Alberta independence at a March 29 Hamilton steelworkers event are false.
- Carney attended a March 29 event at ArcelorMittal Dofasco in Hamilton, not Stelco, and did not discuss Alberta separatism or mention the Emergencies Act there.

- Fact-Checkers confirmed that the altered video deleted key words and combined audio to create a misleading portrayal of Carney's statements.
