  "account": "Banff — Prime Minister Mark Carney's cabinet is set to hold its second and final day of closed-door meetings in the Alberta Rockies resort town of Banff, as the province gears up for a referendum on leaving Canada later this year. Calgary Mayor Jeromy Farkas, who attended one of the private sessions, believes that Ottawa is handling the situation in a prudent manner by maintaining a consistent presence in the province. Farkas argues that separating from Canada would lead Alberta to become the 51st state, and an \"overbearing\" Washington would be a more difficult adversary than Ottawa.\n\nThe two-day retreat also coincides with U.S. President Donald Trump escalating his ongoing trade war with Canada by imposing a ban on certain Canadian imports, including alcohol and some dairy products. Carney maintains that compared to other trade actions taken by Washington against Canada, Trump's latest move is \"relatively modest.\"",
