Carney flips pancakes at Calgary Stampede as separatists hold rival breakfast

Prime Minister Mark Carney took part in Stampede pancake breakfast traditions in Calgary on Sunday, the same day Alberta separatist organizers held their own breakfast event.

Prime Minister Mark Carney attended a Calgary Stampede pancake breakfast on Sunday, taking a turn at the grill and flipping flapjacks for attendees as part of the annual Stampede tradition.

On the same day, a group of Alberta separatists, who are seeking to separate the province from Carney's federal leadership, hosted a similar pancake breakfast event elsewhere in Calgary.

The dueling breakfasts took place during the Calgary Stampede, an annual event that regularly draws politicians from across the spectrum looking to connect with the public and score visibility during the high-profile festival.
