Critics like Michael Wagner argue Carney’s bridge-building is undermining their cause—claiming the Liberals were once their best advocates. Carney’s approval has jumped to 49%, buoyed by international pressure that’s energized federalist sentiment. Alberta’s Premier signing a pipeline MOU with Carney may signal progress, offering a fresh reason for Albertans to stay united.
