“It’s a great result for Canada, thrilled that Albertans have chosen unity,” Carney told reporters in Ottawa, Ontario. “They’ve chosen to build together.”Carney’s efforts to promote Canadian unity and lessen Canada’s economic dependence on the United States stem from recent threats by President Trump. Since his second term began, Trump has insulted Canada and its leaders, levied punishing tariffs in an ongoing trade war and repeatedly suggested that the country should be annexed as the 51st US state. Some prominent separatists leaders traveled to Washington three times last year seeking support in meetings with low-level State Department officials. Carney, who was raised in Alberta’s capital, Edmonton, called the referendum a “dangerous bluff.” Carney was governor of the Bank of England when Britain voted to leave the European Union in 2016. He received enthusiastic receptions at two large rallies for those who supported remaining in Canada last week, in Edmonton and Calgary. The referendum reflected the province’s long history of resentment toward the central government but also more recent discontents.
