Sharing glimpses from his visit to the restaurant on X, Carney wrote, “The proud Canadians I met at Cinnamon Indian Cuisine and Bar in Calgary know what community means. Helping each other. Looking out for each other. Standing up for each other. They’re ready to get out and vote like Canada depends on it — because it does.”
