Mark Carney and Alberta premier unite against province's separation threats
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith have put aside their political differences to make a joint appeal for national unity. It comes three days before voters in the oil-rich province decide whether to begin a process that could lead to separation from Canada.
The unusual show of cooperation between the Liberal prime minister and conservative premier came as Smith praised Carney for addressing longstanding Alberta grievances against Ottawa and said their relationship had changed dramatically since he took office. Smith acknowledged that the two often disagree publicly but said they were united in urging Albertans to remain in Canada.
