Poilievre to campaign for Canadian unity in Alberta next week ahead of referendum
Poilievre will campaign on the ground and urge unity as Alberta voters prepare for an Oct. 19 separation question, officials said.
- On Thursday, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre announced he will visit Alberta next week to deliver a speech on Canadian unity ahead of the province's separation referendum.
- In response to tech industrialist Elon Musk suggesting Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Quebec should separate, Poilievre said "Canadians control their own destiny." Frankly, people can tweet whatever they want, but tweets and memes do not affect Canada.
- While leaders in Alberta and Saskatchewan dismissed Musk's comments, officials in Quebec indicated they would not trigger a separation vote while President Donald Trump is in office.
- During a press conference in Burlington, Ont., on Friday, Poilievre emphasized he will be conducting "additional campaigning on the ground" to unite Canadians across the country.
- Albertans will vote on Oct 19 on the prospect of a future separation referendum, alongside nine other questions involving constitutional and immigration issues.
