Albertans vote on path to independence as Carney fights to keep Canada united
Alberta held a referendum on Monday about whether to pursue independence from Canada. Prime Minister Mark Carney opposed the vote, warning it would start an uncertain process and arguing the U.S. was trying to weaken Canada. The independence movement faced likely defeat. The referendum result is not a direct vote on independence itself, but rather on whether to hold further processes toward it.
