> At a pro-Canada rally in Calgary, Prime Minister Mark Carney warned that outside forces were trying to break up Canada so they could control it. Alberta voters will decide whether the province stays within Canada or instructs the government to begin the legal process toward a separation referendum; Monday’s vote is not itself a referendum on independence.
