Canada’s Carney travels to Alberta as separatists face legal setback

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is visiting Alberta to unveil a new agreement for a crude oil pipeline, shortly after a major legal setback for the province's separatist movement. A ruling by Justice Shaina Leonard favored a First Nations bid to halt a secession referendum, stating that the process required consultation with Indigenous peoples. Despite this, leaders of the Alberta Prosperity Project continue to capitalize on regional discontent with Ottawa's regulation of the oil and gas industry.
