Alberta voters choose Canada over independence in boost for Carney

In Alberta, Canada, voters overwhelmingly chose to remain part of the country in a referendum held on Tuesday. Early results indicate that 76% of the more than 1.4 million votes counted supported staying in Canada, while approximately 24% favored initiating a separation process. This outcome provides a significant boost to Prime Minister Mark Carney's efforts to foster national unity. The referendum took place amidst ongoing trade disputes with the United States under President Donald Trump and perceived annexation threats. The unofficial results were released by Elections Alberta.
