This is completely idiotic and could easily backfire on Washington. Canada could hold its own meetings with California, Texas, and Alaska independence movements…
Snip:
US government officials held a meeting with Canadian separatists pushing for the secession of the country’s western, oil-rich Alberta province, sources told the Financial Times (FT) in a new report.
“Officials in the [US President] Donald Trump administration discussed loaning Alberta $500 million to break up Canada and make it the 51st state,” one of the sources said.
Jeff Rath, legal advisor to the Alberta Prosperity Project (APP), told the outlet that Washington is pushing for an “independent” Alberta.
The report adds that leaders of the APP are seeking another meeting next month with officials from the US State and Treasury Departments in order to request a $500-million credit facility to fund the secession.
I wonder if they would also do that with the Parti Québécois, that shit would be really funny if it would get public.
But not enough oil extraction in Québec to be interesting to the US.
they do produce significant hydroelectricity, im sure theyd want to eat quebec wholesale to siphon it off
US dont want any of that woke renewable shit.
Last weekend, Hydro Quebec ended up buying some from the state of N-Y and Ontario, granted it was super cold - but capacity is reaching its limit for winter season.
