Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada’s expectations that foreign governments, including the United States, will stay out of Alberta’s referendum are “absolutely clear.” Speaking to Global News in Calgary Thursday morning, Carney said that it’s “fundamental” for Canada to ensure the integrity of elections at all levels of government — including the Oct. 19 referendum that will decide if Alberta will hold a vote on separating. “Our expectation is, to be absolutely clear, on foreign governments, United States included, is we don’t get ourselves involved in their elections, they don’t get themselves in our elections,” Carney said. “Fundamental point: the way to ensure there’s no foreign interference in an election is to get out and vote in the election, and let’s have the voices of Albertans heard.”The prime minister was in Alberta ahead of the Oct. 19 vote, which includes a question on whether Albertans want to begin the legal process to hold a binding referendum on separation from Canada.
