Tory MP Says Report of Republicans Working with Alberta Separatists Is 'Concerning'
Bratt says separatists sought U.S. backing and met State Department officials three times last year, raising concerns about outside political influence.
- Amid the upcoming Oct. 19 referendum, Alberta separatists face allegations of foreign interference after reports of secret meetings with United States officials; Mount Royal University professor Duane Bratt says these efforts do not meet the legal definition of treason.
- Alberta Prosperity Project leaders met United States officials at State Department headquarters three times last year, while Republican political operatives traveled to Alberta earlier this year to help mobilize the separatist cause.
- Separatists allegedly offered the United States access to Alberta's freshwater, crude oil, and land for a railroad to Alaska, while employing 10X Votes technology developed by Michigan-based Republican operatives to target voters.
- Conservative MP Dane Lloyd condemned the promises to trade provincial resources, stating no one has the right to promise away Albertan resources; Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree deferred questions regarding the reports to CSIS.
- Professor Duane Bratt expects the separatist movement to persist beyond the Oct. 19 vote, though he anticipates no violence resembling the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the United States Capitol.
