马斯克发帖鼓动魁北克与草原省份分离 加拿大政界一致冷淡回应
2026年10月7日，特斯拉与 SpaceX 首席执行官埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）在其社交平台 X 上发帖，称魁北克「应该分离」，并说阿尔伯塔省与萨斯喀彻温省也应跟进，声称它们「会过得更好」。据 Money.ca 与《印度教徒报》后续报道，这条帖文是对魁北克当选省长普拉蒙东相关内容的回应，正值魁人党刚赢得省选、阿尔伯塔省将于10月19日举行涉及分离程序的投票之际。
加拿大总理卡尼10月8日在魁北克省舍布鲁克回应时表示，加拿大的未来将由加拿大人决定，人们应能按自己的语言与文化生活，不受外国政府和「自以为能对我们发号施令的大型科技公司」的干涉。他同时列出加拿大人自己的优先事项：可负担生活、社会正义与解决无家可归问题，并提出建设「强大加拿大中的强大魁北克」。
草原省份的省长们也未接话。萨斯喀彻温省省长斯科特·莫伊（Scott Moe）的回应只有一个词：「不。」阿尔伯塔省省长丹妮尔·史密斯（Danielle Smith）表示，其政府、党团与政党都支持阿尔伯塔留在加拿大。分析指出，这是加拿大政府与马斯克之间又一次公开摩擦，此前双方已在多个议题上有过交锋。
这场风波的背景是加拿大国家统一议题在2026年秋再度升温：魁人党承诺推动独立公投，阿尔伯塔的分离运动则源于对联邦能源与环境政策的长期不满。民调机构莱杰（Léger）10月8日公布的调查显示，70%的阿尔伯塔受访者倾向留在加拿大，22%倾向启动通往有约束力分离公投的程序。外国富商的介入让这场本属加拿大内部的辩论更受国际关注。
Musk Urges Quebec, Alberta and Saskatchewan to Separate; Canadian Leaders Push Back
On October 7, 2026, Tesla and SpaceX chief executive Elon Musk posted on X that Quebec should separate from Canada, adding that Alberta and Saskatchewan should follow and would be better off. Money.ca and The Hindu reported the post was a reaction to coverage of Quebec premier-designate Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, days after the Parti Québécois won the provincial election and with Alberta set to vote on October 19 on a separation-related question.
Prime Minister Mark Carney responded on October 8 in Sherbrooke, Quebec, saying Canada's future will be decided by Canadians, who should be free to live according to their languages and cultures without interference from foreign governments or large tech firms that think they can tell Canada what to do. He named affordability, social justice and fighting homelessness as Canadians' priorities, and spoke of building a strong Quebec within a strong Canada.
Prairie premiers did not take the bait. Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe's reply was a single word: No. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said her government, caucus and party support Alberta remaining in Canada. Analysts noted it was the latest public clash between Canadian governments and Musk, following earlier disputes on other files.
The spat unfolded as national unity returned to the top of Canada's agenda in the fall of 2026: the PQ has pledged an independence referendum, while Alberta's separatist movement draws on long-running grievances over federal energy and environmental policy. A Léger survey released October 8 found 70 percent of Alberta respondents favoured remaining in Canada, against 22 percent for beginning the process toward a binding separation referendum. The intervention by a foreign billionaire drew international attention to what remains a domestic Canadian debate.
