US Expansionism Fuels Alberta Separatist Movement

Albertans have legitimate grievances against Canada's treatment of Western provinces, but few other Canadians understand the Constitution's provisions regarding Alberta's relationship to the rest of the country. The province joined the union a long time ago, and school history classes often gloss over these details.

The separatist movement in Alberta is fueled by foreign actors who aim to 'build outrage' and destabilize Canada for America's benefit. These actors are promoting the idea of 'a free Alberta,' but they're not telling Albertans that becoming a sovereign nation is unlikely, as it would go against the United States' expansionist agenda.

The US wants access to Canada's natural resources, including Alberta's oil and Saskatchewan's potash, without having to sign trade agreements or pay restitution. The current administration in Washington sees this as an opportunity to assert its dominance over Canada.
