Carney warns Alberta separatists: Brexit-style regret could follow
TL;DR Summary
Former Bank of England governor Mark Carney warned Alberta’s move to secede from Canada is a 'dangerous bluff' that could lead to Brexit-style regret, citing Britain’s long-term consequences after the 2016 referendum. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has scheduled an Oct. 19 vote on independence as separatist sentiment grows amid oil interests and tensions with eastern Canada. Carney noted Smith doesn’t always heed his advice, while federal Conservatives vow to campaign against separation, all against a backdrop of broader trade strains and pipeline developments.
