The Edmonton Journal with an interesting article: What Alberta separatist leaders are telling supporters at secession petition events - At a Red Deer event, Alberta Prosperity Project touts alliance with the Parti Quebecois, and claims it has support from the U.S. State Department

As well, the APP has claimed three separate meetings with the U.S. State Department. Modry spoke about it in Red Deer, and current CEO Mitch Sylvestre and APP lawyer Jeffrey Rath spoke about it at a town hall in Didsbury the week previous.
“Every level is supportive of Alberta sovereignty,” Modry said of the claimed meetings with the State Department.
This is how the APP is laying it out for its supporters.
Last week, Rath said there is no chance for statehood, but that the messaging from south of the border is that “they want to see Alberta taken out from under the control of Communist China.” A lot of APP messaging suggests that the current government has alliances with Beijing, and it’s a major selling point at town halls.
What a bunch of horseshit. I remember talking about this type of foreign interference from the US last February and March.
