Carney calls Alberta the ‘heart’ of nation-building energy projects<\/p>\n
We’re wrapping up our live coverage of the rally.\u00a0<\/p>\n
All five speakers at the podium tonight spoke about the importance of Canadian newcomers and their contributions to the country.<\/p>\n
Throughout his speech, Prime Minister Mark Carney emphasized the necessity of a united Canada, and the contributions Alberta has made to the nation throughout its history.<\/p>\n
He also highlighted Alberta’s place as “the heart” of nation-building energy projects, and its key role in helping the country reduce its dependence on the U.S. as a trading partner.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Carney will make a campaign stop with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith on Friday morning at a brewery in Red Deer, before heading to Edmonton for another Forever Canadian rally.<\/p>\n
Other rallies on both sides of the separation debate are planned throughout the weekend, as Albertans prepare to head to the polls on Monday.<\/p>\n
