> Canada’s political focus has shifted to Alberta, where voters will choose whether to remain in the country or proceed with a binding independence referendum. Prime Minister Mark Carney is campaigning in the province ahead of Monday’s vote, urging voters to stay in Confederation and vote no on the other nine ballot questions put forward by Premier Danielle Smith.
