Carney warns that push for Alberta separatism referendum could be ‘dangerous bluff’

Speaking to reporters from a residential construction site in Ottawa, Carney had a stark warning for Albertans ahead of Smith’s referendum question on provincial sovereignty in the fall: be wary of what you’re voting for.
