British Columbia Premier David Eby says Alberta separatists meeting with the U.S. administration for financial backing is an act of “treason” and it’s an issue he’ll raise as the premiers gather with the prime minister in Ottawa today.Â
“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 meeting.Â

Yeah, that tracks. Asking a hostile foreign power for help in undermining the sovereignty of your own state is textbook Treason.

I don’t think this is a right place to post some random domestic affairs. Hopefully mods will remove this submission.

This is three months after the USA accused Canada of “interfering in ‘electoral politics’ south of the border.” because they ran a tarriff ad featuring Ronald Reagan.

Ironic since Canada had no qualms supporting Khalistan separatists against India under Trudeau, because it helped him electorally.
Oh, now it’s treason! But when it was happening with India and Khalistan ‘supporters’ it was freedom of speech!!
If they want to become American so badly, why not just move to the US?
Yup first time anyone in Canada has every used foreigners to accomplish there goals
The premier of Alberta reminds me of the Hungarian official who was basically asking for Putin to invade his country
Treat them as a subversive organization and the US as a hostile state agent, or you can’t be taken seriously.
It’s a fair point. I don’t think much happens as they have a near impossible chance at seceding.
BC Premier is correct
It most certainly is. Can we please jail them now?
What are the Albertans specific grievances?
500 billion credit facility is truly funny…
