Prime Minister Mark Carney waded into provincial politics
on Thursday in a speech he made in Calgary.
He encouraged Albertans to vote option one, stay in Canada.
On question 10 in the referendum,
Carney also voiced support for the no side of the other nine questions.
Make sure everyone's out there marking their ballots on by Monday,
including Monday, including a no to the nine.
No to the nine is part of a prominent federalist advertising campaign.
It urges Albertans to vote no on the referendum
questions about immigration and constitutional issues.
But the bulk of the prime minister's speech seemed
to be aimed at undecided voters.
It's a dangerous and divided world and it's time for us to come
together and stand up for ourselves and to take care of each other.
Carney also stopped at a local business
in the northeast at the University of Calgary
and planned to attend a rally with Forever Canadian on Thursday night.
Canada's opposition leader is also coming to Calgary,
expected to deliver a pro-unity message.
Pierre Poliev is set to speak at the Canada Strong
and Free Network Conference on Friday.
And rallies are being planned across the province this weekend
for groups on both sides of the separation question.
