Indeed. Investigations have shown that Alberta separatism is supported covertly by Russia, and overtly and shamelessly by the Trump regime.
A year ago, weeks after the Carney Liberals won the last federal election, the website albertaseparatist.com sprang up, accompanied by similarly named TikTok and YouTube accounts.
Article headlines included “The case for sovereignty over statehood” and “Ottawa’s piggy bank wakes up” — but these sites don’t appear to have come from anywhere in Alberta.
Rather, researchers discovered the now defunct website and social media accounts likely came from a Russian covert influence network known as Storm-1516, known for making fictional websites that target audiences in various countries. And here, it targeted Canada and Alberta.
Both Russian and pro-Trump U.S. actors are amplifying and spreading misinformation about Alberta separatism in the hope of fraying Canadian unity and sowing distrust in key institutions and authorities, warns a new report released Wednesday.

As for the Netherlands YouTube channels promoting Alberta separatism, it appears to be a related gang of criminals and a few profiteers, some of them unaware of what they’ve been sucked into as “voice actors”. YouTube has already taken down some of those channels as blatantly deceitful.
Seems that almost everything related to Alberta separatism seems to be linked to lies, criminality, and sordid corruption. But is anyone surprised?
