Alberta votes on path to independence as Carney fights to keep Canada united

Alberta voters are deciding on a path to independence, which could have significant implications for Canada's economy and trade relationships. This vote is a test of national unity, as Canadians rally against US President Donald Trump's trade war and threats to Canada's sovereignty. If Alberta were to become independent, it could potentially impact Canada's oil exports and trade agreements, including those with the US. The outcome of this vote will be closely watched by markets and policymakers.
