Prime Minister Mark Carney said Thursday that the United States is trying to break Canada, and he urged oil-rich Alberta not to start a process toward separation in Monday's referendum. Coverage notes the vote is not a direct referendum on independence but would decide whether to begin the legal process toward separation. Deutsche Welle describes Carney's warning as a divide-and-rule tactic, while AP and the Washington Times quote him saying the US wants to "own" Canada. The Dispatch separately argues the rift with the US is helping Carney raise Canada's global standing.
