B.C. premier says Alberta separatists seeking assistance from U.S. is 'treason'

B.C. Premier David Eby says Alberta separatists meeting with the U.S. administration and seeking financial backing is an act of "treason," as the issue of national sovereignty loomed over a meeting between the premiers and Prime Minister Mark Carney on Thursday.

"To go to a foreign country and to ask for assistance in breaking up Canada, there's an old-fashioned word for that, and that word is treason," said Eby, ahead of the closed-door meeting in Ottawa.

He was reacting to reports that members of U.S. President Donald Trump's administration have held meetings with members of the Alberta Prosperity Project, a separatist group that is pushing for the western province to become independent.

The group is seeking a possible $500-billion US line of credit from the U.S. Treasury to help bankroll the new country if they come out victorious in a referendum.

An official with the U.S. State Department confirmed the meetings, saying the department "regularly meets with civil society types," but added that "no commitments were made."

With Special Forces teams in country and training insurgents for the last 3 months and the air drops of weapons and supplies, we should have this wrapped up within the next few weeks.

What is our next area of operations?

Wait until the good folks have Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba start screaming “ Deo Vindice “.

That’ll really get the limp-wristed Canadian leadership panties in a wad.

They're not allowed to join in the US unless we take in PR.

Any action against the People’s Republic of Canada will get the Canadian politburo in a snit.

There are no words for pieces of sh$t like Carney. It’s as if he was created in a lab to be the perfect globalist.

We would love to have the conservative areas of Canada join us
After what they did to the truckers we should aid them militarily
It would be nice to drive to Alaska without going through Canada.

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to say the word TREASON. Will Carney deploy the Mounties to mash the Ingrates of the Western Provinces like Fidelito Trudeau did all over Canada in the Covid Lockdown years?
I have listened for the past few months to the Premier of Alberta discuss the whole situation on Youtube. She’s one sharp cookie and an articulate leader for her Province citizens.
However, I don’t think it’s a good idea to promote joining the USA as a new State, and I say that as a half-breed American with a Canadian mother. Then I must remember DJT’s move to solidify the North American Union with Greenland out there on the other side of Canada. Any how, this may be a fait accompl...

The Independence Referendum was approved in December by the Alberta Election board. However, First Nation has filed a lawsuit to prevent the Referendum, and that will be ruled on soon, supposedly. If it moves forward, then signatures must be collected,10% of the 2023 voter count (177,732 Albertan signatures). This needs to be done by May with a vote in October.
The Referendum states: Do you agree that the Province of Alberta should cease to be a part of Canada to become an independent state?
