Poll: Many Canadians view Alberta separatist U.S. requests as treasonous

Seventy-one percent of Canadians support B.C. Premier David Eby’s assertion that seeking foreign aid to break up Canada constitutes treason, following claims of the Alberta Prosperity Project meeting U.S. officials for financial backing. The poll shows overwhelming agreement among older Canadians and those earning less than $99,000, while Alberta residents are more divided. Additionally, 53 percent disagree with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s view that labeling such discussions as treason stifles free speech, though 59 percent support her stance on not marginalizing citizens with grievances. Overall, the findings indicate a strong national sentiment against foreign intervention in Canadian sovereignty.
