“Very, very senior” officials in the Trump administration have had secret meetings with far-right Canadian separatists trying to shake the foundations of the country. The covert meetings between high-ranking U.S. officials and the Alberta Prosperity Project come as a widening rift appears between Canadian leadership and the White House. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney used a speech in Davos, Switzerland, last week to call out President Trump for creating a “rupture” in the existing world order.

    What’s it going to take for Canada to start you know viewing this as treason from certain people? Cuz it’s absolutely treason.

      Yup, needs to be shut down and them charged, and then you’ll see a US temper tantrum, which just proves what they were up to.

        Trump will offer asylum of course. He will use it to prove that Canada is abusing its citizens and then have them condemned by his board of peace.

        He will allow immigration like with South Africa under the guise that Canada is woke and punishes its citizens who love God.

      I live in the treasonous province and I’ll tell you most people in Edmonton at least are real Canadians and not fascists.

        The fairly luke-warm ‘stay’ petition, rabid ‘leave’ petitions, and generally failing recall attempts, seem to paint a slightly more muddled picture.

        At least BC’s premier is openly using the Treason word for this shit.

          I wouldn’t call that “Luke warm” at all. It was a massive amount of people in a relatively short window of time.

            Yeah, I don’t know what he’s talking about. Forever Canadian got over 400k signatures before the rules got changed to make it easier. I signed it while wandering around a festival where they had a booth set up. That signature was not exciting, but it was no-brainer.

            The sepratists have a rabid fan base that will line up around the block to sign, but that’s it. After that they have nothing. They are firmly in the minority with only 20-30% considering it. That tracks with the average for idiots in a population that will vote for anything.

          Any petition aimed at retaining the status quo will have a lukewarm response.

      If Canada takes a page out of America’s book then there could be an actual violent insurrection and masked federal agents executing Canadians and they still won’t view it as treason.
