Summary

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney made a final appeal to Alberta voters against separation, warning that a referendum could put the oil-rich province on a path toward independence and would be a dangerous gamble amid growing threats to Canada, ABC News reports. Advance voting is underway in a referendum that could set Alberta on a path to a future vote on separation; Deutsche Welle says voters will decide whether to remain a Canadian province or begin the legal process toward separation. ABC News and Deutsche Welle report Carney said the US was trying to break Canada; The Hindu and PBS NewsHour say he warned that outside forces were working to break the country so they could own it. TIME reports he urged Albertans to remain in Canada shortly after Trump threatened Canada would become the 51st state.
