Trump administration officials have reportedly held several secret meetings with far-right Canadian separatists who want to break free from the rest of the country.
U.S. officials met with leaders of the Alberta Prosperity Project, a fringe right-wing group of separatists who want the oil-rich western province to become independent, three times in Washington since last April, sources told the Financial Times.
News of the stealthy meetings comes at a time of especially high tensions between the U.S. and its northern neighbor. During a speech in Davos at the World Economic Forum, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke of a “rupture” in the world order, in what appeared to be a veiled attack on the trade and foreign policies of Donald Trump – but without mentioning him by name.
And AB will be TINY cause they can’t give away land that’s not there’s. Ie. Indigenous land.
I previously linked to a map of Alberta that shows the land that isn’t indigenous.
It’s a really small and disconnected area.
Kind of like the number of Albertans who want to separate.
My recommendation: they should just move to Idaho or Montana and become Americans.
Where? Just looked through your comment history and can’t see the map.
Well that’s annoying; my history only seems to go back 6 months; I added it last July I think. I’ll see if I can find it again; it was an official governmental map.
[edit] This isn’t the one, as it’s missing certain types of land, but it gives a feel for the situation: https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/04074608-dabc-49c6-b25e-840a4b2844ee/resource/3c91195e-9b5e-4c69-aa9e-963d4bec520e/download/ir-first-nations-reserves-and-metis-settlements-map-2025-10.pdf
Note that there’s also federal land that doesn’t belong to Alberta.
So an independent Alberta would be really REALLY small?! If I read this map correctly.
