The more Trump allies covet Alberta, the less popular separatism may get | CBC News

This CBC News article discusses the growing interest from U.S. officials in Alberta separatism, particularly from Trump allies, and how this may impact the popularity of the independence movement. The article highlights the comments from U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Congressman Andy Ogles, who both expressed support for Alberta's independence from Canada, though Ogles suggested that Alberta should join the United States. However, the separatists in Alberta have been clear that they do not favor joining the U.S. and are focused solely on independence from Canada. The article also notes that while there is support for Alberta independence, the idea of joining the U.S. is less popular among Albertans.
