Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has warned the United States to respect Canada’s sovereignty following reports that Alberta separatists met with Trump administration officials. Carney stressed that any decisions about Alberta’s future are strictly for Canadians and Albertans to decide.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith echoed the message, emphasizing provincial autonomy in democratic decisions. Reports revealed separatists explored options for Alberta’s independence, including a potential $500bn credit line, though no US funding was requested.
British Columbia Premier David Eby condemned the outreach as “treason,” while separatist supporter Jeffrey Rath called the criticism “stupid,” insisting the meetings were fact-finding trips.
The controversy comes ahead of sensitive US-Canada trade talks and ongoing debates about energy development in Alberta. While separatist sentiment exists, polls show most Albertans still favour unity with Canada.
Canada’s leadership is clear: foreign governments must not interfere in internal provincial matters, and sovereignty will be defended.
