"Officials in the Donald Trump administration discussed loaning the oil-rich province of Alberta hundreds of millions of dollars to help it become independent from Canada, a prominent separatist is claiming."

Big if true.

This is so annoying and upsetting.

I vote against UCP each time and we are still here.

Send help.

This is of course complete rubbish, and treasonous rubbish at that.

In other words...the entire Alberta Separatist Movement is just an astroturfed foreign influence operation, intended to undermine Canadian sovereignty.

Separatists don't get the land; just their plane tickets.

Albertans please stand up to Danille Smith.

America ain't looking hot and do you really want the Conservative party copying the same nonsense from dementia grandpa down below?

The american boycotts are the weakest in the prairies... so UCP saw an opportunity.

Just the reminder that

A) These people don't have the numbers:

B) The Vast majority of Alberta is treaty/crown land which they don't have rights to take with them.

The only way these people are seperating from Canada is committing treason and working with Trump. It's unbelievable after what happened to Ukraine in 2022 these people are dumb enough to give Trump a reason for a invasion.
