Carney calls for unity on energy crisis ahead of Stampede visit
The prime minister's Calgary trip comes as federal and provincial leaders continue to spar over energy and pipeline policy.
Why it matters
Federal-provincial tension over energy policy directly affects investment, jobs and pipeline development in Alberta's economy.
Prime Minister Mark Carney reiterated his call for national co-operation to address what he described as a "threefold energy crisis" ahead of a planned appearance at the Calgary Stampede on Saturday.
Carney has previously framed the crisis as encompassing energy security, affordability and the transition to lower-emission sources, arguing that provinces and the federal government need to work together rather than at odds.
The comments come as Carney prepares for a high-profile visit to Calgary during Stampede season, a time when federal and provincial officials often use the event to make political statements about Alberta's energy sector.
