Only Canadians Will Decide Canada's Future

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney reacted to social media posts by Elon Musk advocating for the separation of certain provinces in the country, stating that Canada's future will be determined solely by Canadians.

Elon Musk's Separatist Posts

The world's richest person, South African-born Canadian-American businessman Elon Musk, made statements on the social media platform X following the election results in Quebec.

Musk claimed that in addition to Quebec, the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan should also separate from Canada, arguing that these regions would be in a better position with independence.

Strong Reaction from Prime Minister Mark Carney

Speaking in the city of Sherbrooke, Canadian Prime Minister Carney emphasized that the country's future will be shaped by Canadians themselves, not by foreign powers or major tech companies.

Carney stated that citizens must be able to live freely with their own languages and cultures without interference from foreign states and large technology corporations.

Quebec Elections and Independence Debates

It was stated that the Quebec elections, which ended with the victory of the Parti Québécois, did not actually grant an independence mandate, and voters predominantly wanted to change the current administration.

Experts noted that support for independence in Quebec hovers around 30 percent, and the election victory stemmed from a desire for change rather than separatist demands.

Approach of Alberta and Saskatchewan

In Alberta, a vote is planned for October regarding whether the region will remain in Canada or hold a secession referendum in the future.

While Alberta Premier Danielle Smith stated that separatist tendencies have weakened thanks to joint efforts with the federal government, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe gave Musk a one-word reply: 'No.'
