Today in Alberta, Canada, voters are heading to the polls to vote on whether they want to secede from Canada. As of now, the secessionists are losing.
But how many of you know that conservative funding is flowing north of the border?
News Global: CanadaOct 3, 2026The pitch began with a prayer.On an afternoon in late January, Mitch Sylvestre, the leader of Alberta’s most prominent separatist organization, gathered with three of his lieutenants in a boardroom not far from the executive hangars at the Calgary International Airport, where private jets shuttle in and out of the city away from prying eyes.It was a few hours before thousands of Albertans would gather near the city centre at a rally to launch the separatist campaign. But this meeting, convened behind closed doors a half-hour drive away, was invite only.The Alberta Prosperity Project chose the location to accommodate its guests, Republican political strategists from Michigan who helped Donald Trump win the state in the 2024 U.S. presidential election.The American delegation travelled to Calgary to sell them on software developed for Republicans to get out the vote – and how it could be used to wrench Alberta from Confederation.“They were young Christians. Capable, intelligent people,” Mr. Sylvestre said. “We prayed before we started the meeting.”

For Mr. Parker, the software was the path to victory – one that ultimately resulted in a massive privacy breach involving the sensitive personal data of nearly three million Albertans. The breach raised alarms inside Canada’s security agencies, according to a classified document obtained by The Globe and Mail.But Mr. Parker’s embrace of the Michigan delegation is evidence of something else – a pattern: separatist factions in Alberta eager to engage the U.S. in their plans for secession, and American actors willing to assist, either privately or openly.A Globe and Mail investigation has found that Republican political operatives were on the ground in Alberta this year to assist the separatist campaign in its bid to leave Canada, while harbouring their own aspirations for the province to secede.The Globe also found that when Alberta separatist leaders went to Washington to meet with the U.S. State Department, they offered up key assets from the province’s resource portfolio, including access to fresh water and royalties on crude oil, in exchange for help transitioning to independence.
STOP RIGHT THERE!
The Republicans are helping to destabilize a friendly nation! Why? Because of oil!
Come and listen to a story about a man named JedA poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fedThen one day he was shootin' at some foodAnd up through the ground come a bubblin' crude(Oil, that is. Black gold, Texas tea)The Ballad of Jed Clampett Flatt & Scruggs
Alberta's frustrations over energy, federal authority, immigration, and public services have domestic roots. Hmm… seem familiar? And the Republicans smelled an opportunity.
The separatists arrived in Washington, D.C., last year armed with a determination to leave Canada and a raft of ideas for how an independent Alberta could instead interlace its future fortunes with the United States.New oil pipelines could be built to the Pacific that would travel through Washington state, evading the politically hostile terrain of British Columbia. The loonie holdings of Albertans could be converted at par into American greenbacks, perhaps paid for by offering the U.S. a royalty on Alberta crude, or even a slice of Alberta’s land for a railroad to Alaska. Other repayment deals could be struck with the White House by offering Alberta resources in agriculture, forestry, mining and precious metals.
So the United States government met with Canadians who were just like the southern United States and wanting secession!
I want you to think for a second: if China held talks with secessionists here in the U.S. say, Texas wanted to secede from the Union… and gave them software and training to help, can you imagine the outcry? The interference in our elections! Then why is it okay for us to do it to a friendly country?

Jeff Rath, the firebrand spokesman for the Alberta Prosperity Project group that supports independence, says the separatist movement is gaining pace. He confirmed he and other activists met with U.S. State Department officials in Washington in January to get a sense of how the U.S. administration would respond to an independent Alberta.Rath said he floated the idea of a new oil pipeline from Alberta to the United States - which he said U.S. officials responded to positively, noting their concerns on Ottawa's plans to sell more energy to China.

Canada is the world’s fourth largest oil producer, and oil and gas is the country’s most valuable export product. The vast majority of Canadian oil and gas is produced in Alberta, where the energy sector is a significant employer and oil and gas tax revenues contribute substantially to provincial government coffers.
This has Trump & Company salivating! Oil! $$$$$! The billionaires smell cash!
Quebecor report says Americans tried to negotiate directly with Quebec on tariffsCBCErika Morris · The Canadian PressSep 25, 2026Allegations of political interference from the United States dominated the 30th day of Quebec's election campaign on Friday as Coalition Avenir Québec Leader Christine Fréchette expressed concerns that Americans were trying to help sovereigntists take control of the province.Her warnings were met with skepticism from her political rivals, but Fréchette said the threat was serious enough for her to request a meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney and for her party to approach the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS)."I want help from the federal government to shed light on the issue," she said Friday morning, adding that it was up to Quebecers to choose the next government.Five parties are expecting to win seats in the Oct. 5 election, Fréchette's CAQ, the Parti Québécois, the Quebec Liberals, the Quebec Conservatives and Québec Solidaire.Fréchette spoke to journalists twice on the campaign trail on Friday about the allegations. Her office also issued a statement later in the afternoon to clarify that she was only publicly talking about the allegations due to a news report by Quebecor media.
Neighbors don’t do that to each other!
We don’t like it when Russia interferes in our elections; how do you think Canada feels when a supposed friendly nation does that?
