Prime Minister Mark Carney arrives in Calgary for events at the Calgary Stampede after returning from an international trip in the Middle East. Sources report that Carney’s overseas travel includes a stop in Turkey for a NATO summit and a visit to Saudi Arabia, where he discusses matters including trade, technology, energy, and defense.
In Calgary, Carney is scheduled to attend Stampede events across the weekend, including time at the Stampede grounds with visits to vendors, stalls, and exhibits. One report describes him attending the Stampede rodeo and exhibition on Saturday night, including chuckwagon races and informal local treats. Another report says he flips pancakes at a community Stampede breakfast earlier in the day before touring parts of the fairgrounds.
Several outlets agree that Carney also meets with Indigenous leaders in Calgary, including representatives from Treaty 6, Treaty 7, and Treaty 8, as part of his local engagements during the Stampede. Additional mentions include conversations about pipelines with some attendees.
