Trump team has secret meetings with Alberta separatist group plotting to break up Canada<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding fuel:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent<\/strong> said \u201c\u201cI think we should let them come down into the U.S., and Alberta\u2019s a natural partner for the U.S…They have great resources. The Albertans are very independent people, adding there\u2019s a \u201crumour that they may have a referendum on whether they want to stay in Canada or not.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked if he knew something about it, Bessent said, \u201cPeople (in Alberta) are talking. People (in Alberta) want sovereignty. They want what the U.S. has got.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Premier Danielle Smith’s<\/strong> Saturday radio show, Your Province, Your Premier,<\/em> Smith was asked by host Wayne Nelson about her reaction to Bessent\u2019s 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<\/a> against it because they believe it violates their constitutional rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Premier Smith<\/strong> asserted she doesn\u2019t believe separatists have interest in being part of the U.S.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
