Eby calls reported meeting between Alberta separatists and U.S. official ‘treason’

OTTAWA – A reported meeting between individuals in the Alberta separatist movement and White House officials amounts to “treason,” B.C. “Now, I understand the desire to hold a referendum, to talk about the issues we want to talk about in Canada,” Eby said. Premier of British Columbia David Eby takes questions after meeting with Canadian premiers at a Council of the Federation meeting in Ottawa on Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2026. Ontario Premier Doug Ford called the reported meeting “unacceptable” and “unethical.”“We’re one country and we should all be sticking together. The Alberta independence movement is collecting signatures in an attempt to initiate a referendum on whether Alberta should separate from Canada.
