‘Give a thanks for Canada’: PM calls for unity in Thanksgiving message

The Alberta referendum gives Mark Carney's Thanksgiving message a political backdrop. In CTV News' short clip, the prime minister appeals for unity, with the broadcaster placing his remarks a week before the vote.

The upload, titled "'Give a thanks for Canada': PM calls for unity in Thanksgiving message," reached about 95,000 views in its first seven hours. That is already far beyond the audience a CTV Short usually draws across its entire first day.

For readers outside Canada, Thanksgiving falls in October rather than November. Here, the holiday greeting also carries a national question: Carney is asking Canadians to give thanks for their country while calling for them to stay united.
