U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said ““I think we should let them come down into the U.S., and Alberta’s a natural partner for the U.S…They have great resources. The Albertans are very independent people, adding there’s a “rumour that they may have a referendum on whether they want to stay in Canada or not.”

On Premier Danielle Smith’s Saturday radio show, Your Province, Your Premier, Smith was asked by host Wayne Nelson about her reaction to Bessent’s remarks, given that a petition was launched earlier this week by a group who want Alberta to hold a referendum on separating from Canada — as well as First Nations groups launching legal action against it because they believe it violates their constitutional rights.
