Alberta Separatist Movement
Leaders of the Alberta Prosperity Project, a right-wing separatist movement, have held discussions with U.S. officials about Alberta’s potential independence from Canada, including the adoption of U.S. currency and forming a new military. They plan to hold a fourth meeting with Trump administration officials amid claims of support for their cause. However, U.S. officials downplayed the seriousness of these meetings, describing them as unusual and irresponsible. The talks occur during heightened tensions between the U.S. and Canada, with President Trump criticizing Canada’s treatment of the U.S. and suggesting it could become the 51st state.
