Dane Lloyd

The federal conservatives have backed Smith's push for more control over immigration, with party leader Pierre Poilievre stating in Calgary on Tuesday that Carney was wrong to urge Albertans to vote against the immigration questions in Monday's referendum.

On Parliament Hill, Conservative MP Dane Lloyd said his party has always sought to devolve areas of provincial responsibility back to the provinces and that he is watching how the Carney government responds to what Alberta is putting forward on immigration.

Corey Hogan, a Liberal MP from Calgary, said immigration has always required collaboration between Ottawa and the provinces and that the questions in Monday's referendum came years late because it is chasing a challenge that has already been a bit resolved by the Carney government.

He also questioned the strength of Smith's mandate on immigration from Monday's results, given how ballots are still being counted and the majorities in favor are small.

Uh, Conservatives are thrilled to see Albertans vote for a stronger province within a united Canada.

I wanna thank Dane Lloyd, the chair of Conservatives for Canada, who led a fierce campaign for our country throughout this referendum.

Uh, all of us, uh, want now to bring everyone into the fold.

Let's now focus on unity for everyone.

So I hope the rest, and the reasonable federalist conservatives can get their act together.

And, you know, one of the things I saw lacking in this whole campaign was any conservatives, provincial or federal, other than Dane Lloyd, who was tasked with it, none of them speaking up in any way whatsoever.

Nope.

Just hiding in the shadows, under the blankets, just waiting for this to be over.

We have the Reeve from Reeve-Wildeboer, who is an important representative of the impacted community.

We have Dane Lloyd.

He is a member of Parliament from Edmonton, shadow minister responsible for fighting for the national unity, but also my national security advisor and an active serving member of the Armed Forces.

in a reserved capacity.

Former premiers and political rivals Jason Kenney and Rachel Notley are here together.

So too is Minister Eleanor Olszewski and Alberta Conservative MP, Dane Lloyd.

And of course, the Sunday strategy session with Kathleen Monk, Jason Hatcher, and Scott Reid is standing by.

We'll start today with a developing situation at a Canadian Forces base in Alberta.

When we come back today, Prime Minister Mark Carney wasn't the only federal leader talking unity in Alberta this week.

Conservative leader Pierre Palliev was also making his pitch to Albertans to remain.

After the break, Alberta Conservative MP Dane Lloyd will join us.

Should they stay or should they maybe go? That's the top question facing Albertans tomorrow as they head to the polls in a long-anticipated referendum.
