No evidence Carney threatened emergency powers against Alberta separatists
•• Apr 20, 2026, by Marissa Birnie
Claims that Prime Minister Mark Carney said he would invoke the Emergencies Act to quash Alberta independence appeared online last week. It was said Carney made the comments while addressing steelworkers at a March 29 event in Hamilton, Ont. A video from Hamilton in which Carney is seemingly heard referring to the use of emergency powers in fact uses spliced audio from a campaign event in 2025, where his comments were unrelated to Alberta separatism.
