After Elon Musk called on Quebec to separate, Carney and Poilievre dismiss ex-Trump advisor

Prime Minister Mark Carney responding to Elon Musk's musings about Quebec separation. The future of Canada will be decided by Canadians, and the priorities of Canadians, the priorities of the people of Quebec, and I say this. Surrounded by my colleagues, who are part of a government that has 43 deputies. In Quebec, MPs in Quebec, the priorities are affordability. Social justice, including what we just discussed on, on homelessness, building a. Strong Quebec within a strong Canada, and a strong Canada that means more independent, more sovereign. More prosperous, obviously. But also, so we can live our lives as we choose in Quebec, in Canada. That respects our languages, our culture. Our way of life, and free from interference from foreign governments. And and large tech firms that think they can tell us what to do. Carney says Canadians will decide on their future and priorities, not tech giants. This follows online comments from the former Trump adviser suggesting Quebec would be better off to separate, adding Alberta and Saskatchewan should do the same. Wanted to get your thoughts on Elon Musk throwing his support behind Quebec, Alberta, Saskatchewan separatism. Are you concerned about foreign interference from the U.S. Conservatives support a stronger Alberta, stronger Saskatchewan, and a stronger Quebec within a united Canada, and no tweet from anyone outside of the country can challenge that. So I think we need to spend less time worrying about silly tweets by people who have no power over what Canadians do. Canadians control their own destiny, and we need to focus our efforts on making sure they can afford groceries. They can afford homes, they can afford a brighter future, and you know. Frankly, people can tweet whatever they want, but tweets and memes do not affect Canada. What affects Canada is the decisions made by the Canadian people. Conservatives are launching, continuing to launch. A strong nationwide campaign for unity. I will be back in Alberta again. I think it's next week to give another speech, my third major keynote speech, along with additional campaigning on the ground to keep our country united. And we encourage all Canadians of all parties to join in to in uniting all Canadians to make ourselves safe, affordable, and fully independent here at home. That's our mission, and that's what we will deliver.
