Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada’s future should be determined by Canadians, responding after Elon Musk publicly expressed support for separation movements involving Quebec, Alberta and Saskatchewan. Carney frames the issue as one of Canadian sovereignty and citizenship, and argues against outside influence.
In remarks reported by several outlets, Carney also says Canadians should be free from interference not only from foreign governments but also from large technology firms that he says try to influence public choices. The coverage focuses less on the specifics of any separatist proposals and more on Carney’s reaction to Musk’s intervention and his message that Canadians, rather than external actors, should decide the country’s direction.
