总理马克·卡尼表示，他已接受邀请，将于本周参加阿尔伯塔省的两场“永远加拿大”集会，时间是在10月19日公投之前。卡尼将于周四在卡尔加里作一次停留，周五再前往埃德蒙顿。
Prime Minister Mark Carney says he’s accepted an invitation to attend two Forever Canadian rallies in Alberta this week ahead of the Oct. 19 referendum. Carney will make a stop in Calgary on Thursday and another in Edmonton Friday.
阿尔伯塔省选民将就公投中的10个问题进行投票，内容涉及移民和宪法议题，还有一个问题是该省是否应继续留在加拿大，或举行具有约束力的公投以决定是否分离。
Albertans are set to vote on 10 questions for the referendum, addressing immigration and constitutional issues, and one on whether the province should stay in Canada or hold a binding referendum on separating.
“永远加拿大”运动的创始人托马斯·卢卡舒克周一在社交媒体帖子中向卡尼发出了邀请。他表示，卡尼决定参加这些集会是该运动的一个积极信号。“说到底，阿尔伯塔人想听听他的意见，”卢卡舒克说。
Thomas Lukaszuk, the founder of the Forever Canadian campaign, extended the invitation to Carney in a social media post Monday. He said Carney’s decision to come to the rallies is a good sign for the movement. “At the end of the day, Albertans would want to hear from him,” Lukaszuk said.
“我很高兴他相信‘永远加拿大’运动是阿尔伯塔省联邦运动的旗帜，并且他将与我们同台。”卢卡舒克表示，他认为卡尼已经努力解决了阿尔伯塔人的担忧。
“I'm glad that he trusts the Forever Canadian movement as the flagship for the federal movement in Alberta and that he will share the stage with us.”Forever Canadian kicks off official campaign for 'remain' side in Alberta referendum Lukaszuk said he believes Carney has made an effort to address the concerns of Albertans.
“[卡尼的]信息应该能引起共鸣——当我们相互合作、协商时，联邦制才能奏效，”他说。
“[Carney’s] message should resonate that federalism can work when we worked with each other, when we cooperate, when we negotiate,” he said.
“有一些机制可以解决一些悬而未决的问题，还有一些问题需要被解决。”卢卡舒克表示，分离主义“并不是解决阿尔伯塔人所提出的这些关切的答案。”此次声明是在卡尼在其母校圣弗朗西斯·泽维尔高中（位于埃德蒙顿西部）向阿尔伯塔人发表感恩节致辞之后作出的。在视频中，他表示加拿大正面临经济威胁，但尽管存在这些威胁，该国仍在继续增长，并且“值得为之奋斗。”
“There are mechanisms to address some of the outstanding issues and there are some issues that need to be addressed." Lukaszuk said that separatism "is not an answer to any of those concerns that have been highlighted by Albertans.”The announcement comes after Carney made his Thanksgiving address to Albertans from his alma mater, St. Francis Xavier High School, in west Edmonton. In the video, he said Canada is facing threats to its economy but that in spite of them, the country is continuing to grow, and is "worth fighting for."
卡尼针对阿尔伯塔的感恩节信息，发表于分离公投之前。卡尼说：“阿尔伯塔人几代人帮助建设了这个国家。它属于你们，也属于我们，值得为之奋斗。”保守党领袖皮埃尔·波利耶夫预计将在周五于卡尔加里举行的另一场活动中发表他关于加拿大团结的讲话。阿尔伯塔省长丹妮尔·史密斯也预计将在同一场活动中发表讲话。
Carney’s Thanksgiving message directed at Alberta ahead of separation referendum“Generations of Albertans helped build this country,” Carney said. “It's yours, it's ours, and it's worth fighting for.”Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is expected to deliver his own message on Canadian unity in a separate event on Friday in Calgary. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is also expected to deliver an address at the same event.
