卡尔加里——周四,加拿大总理马克·卡尼在艾伯塔省为国家团结展开竞选,此前这个盛产石油的省份将就其是否希望举行具有约束力的独立公投进行投票。
CALGARY – Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney campaigned for national unity in Alberta on Thursday, before the oil-rich province votes on whether it wants a binding independence referendum.
民意调查显示,艾伯塔省约500万人口中,不到四分之一的人希望脱离加拿大,但在该西部省份长大的卡尼表示,“民调不会投票”。卡尼在艾伯塔省最大城市卡尔加里的一次集会上说:“这次公投来得正值最糟糕的时刻。”
Polling indicates less than a quarter of Alberta’s roughly 5 million people want to break away from Canada, but Carney, who grew up in the western province, said “polls don’t vote.”“This referendum comes at the worst possible time,” Carney told a rally in Calgary, Alberta’s largest city.
