Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney has responded to comments made by Elon Musk, a US tech industrialist, who expressed support for Quebec, Alberta, and Saskatchewan separating from Canada.

What happened

Prime Minister Mark Carney stated that the future of Canada will be determined by Canadians, not by foreign governments or large tech firms. This comment came in response to Elon Musk's social media post, in which he suggested that Quebec would be "better off" separating from Canada and that Alberta and Saskatchewan should also leave the federation. Musk's comments followed a recent election in Quebec, in which a separatist party received a minority mandate.

Why it matters

The comments from Musk and Carney highlight the ongoing debate about the future of Quebec and the country as a whole. The Prime Minister's statement emphasizes the importance of Canadian decision-making in determining the country's future.
