  "account": "Prime Minister Mark Carney is scheduled to attend two \"Forever Canadian\" rallies in Alberta this week, occurring just days prior to the province's referendum on potential separation. The first rally was held in Calgary on October 15, followed by another in Edmonton on October 16. Both events aim to encourage Albertans to vote in favor of remaining within Canada, as part of the \"Forever Canadian\" campaign initiated by the province's former deputy premier, Thomas Lukaszuk. The campaign addresses a series of constitutional and immigration-related questions, one of which is the prospect of a future separation referendum. The referendum, slated for October 19, will see Albertans voting on nine issues, along with the separation question. Carney, who hails from Alberta, emphasized Canada's worthiness in a Thanksgiving Day message. This report, originally published by The Canadian Press on October 13, 2026, highlights Carney's involvement in supporting the \"Forever Canadian\" cause.",
