> Federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is scheduled to speak in support of Canadian unity Friday at the Canada Strong and Free Network conference in Calgary. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is also set to address the event. Carney drew selfie-seeking well-wishers at several Calgary stops Thursday. With voting days away, attendees at his rally said separation supporters have valid concerns, but Canada is worth preserving.
