Glad to seeing our leaders finally take a harder stance against this. Paid foreign interference in plain sight. At least when the Americans’ manipulations attempted to be covert it was easier to stomach…

It’s absolutely unequivocally treason, and as such the punishment should be very appropriate.
Edit: lol, go ahead and downvote, quisling.

I do hope they take a hardline stance on this. It is treason. Jail time seems more than a sufficient punishment for this action. The danger is it will make them look like they are being prosecuted and could provoke a further US response.
This is a difficult situation to navigate . I don’t envy anyone who tries to put these people in prison should it go that far

It should be investigated and if true, they should be prosecuted

Yep, I’d take a hint from Ukraine’s recent history and arrest these people before “little green men” vacationing from the US show up and instigate a civil war.
Also, insane timeline we’re living in.

Are we really on a “US backing separatists” level in Canada?
>The group is openly seeking a $500-billion US line of credit credit from the U.S. Treasury to help bankroll the new country
Lovely… they are going straight to becoming a US proxy. That level of debt will make them serfs of Washington.
One default away from becoming a state.

I can’t understand how it isn’t already being dealt with as such. There’s nothing about it that is defensible. They’re receiving money from a foreign entity for the express purpose of undermining Canadian sovereignty. And it’s all public knowledge, so what’s the hold up?

Would be as easy as not legally allowing secessionism, like most countries including the USA do.

How about putting them on trial for treason?
Needs to be done or the stink will fester
Brazil did it and they have mostly moved forward
US didn’t do it to everyone involved. And we’re still dealing with the consequences

It’s disgusting how many facebook posts and comments I see from “Albertans” who are just completely uneducated on any of the issues they are bitching about. This separatism thing is just so, so fucking stupid, and all the people advocating for it are barely even trying to hide their racism. They’re such entitled dumbasses.
Not to mention it’s all a fucking Op orchestrated by the USA and their ownership of our media companies, and these jackasses think they’re independent free thinkers when they’re the ones being led around on a leash. Fucking embarrassing.

Yes as per section 59 of the Criminal Code of as pasted below they have committed the following 2 crimes.
Seditious conspiracy
(3) A seditious conspiracy is an agreement between two or more persons to carry out a seditious intention.
Seditious intention
(4) Without limiting the generality of the meaning of the expression seditious intention, every one shall be presumed to have a seditious intention who
(a) teaches or advocates, or
(b) publishes or circulates any writing that advocates,
the use, without the authority of law, of force as a means of accomplishing a governmental change within Canada.
The pusniment of which is on section 61 of the Criminal Code pasted below.
Punishment of seditious offences
61 Every one who
(a) speaks seditious words,
(b) publishes a seditious libel, or
(c) is a party to a seditious conspiracy,
is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding fourteen years.
This isn’t a crime we like to persecute because it was mostly in regards to the Monarchy although it has modern use. Also despite what american and Albertan agitators like to say we are a free country and we have freedom of expression.
That being said a separatist organization voting to leave the country aided financially by a foreign nation with questionable intent fits the bill in my opinion.

Thank you Mr Eby! If only our Premier would stop giving them avenues to make this easier for them and end this madness. She never will as I believe she is one of them and may have even started those conversations on her multiple taxpayer funded trips to Florida and Washington.

I really don’t get it. Why not just migrate to America and not drag everyone else down with you? MAGA-Canadians never fucking made sense. Right-wingers in America hate shit that you enjoy everyday.

It’s treason there’s no doubt. Deport them to the USA and seize all assets ( if they have any )

As an Albertan, I pray the CSIS or the mounties or whoever can get this American influence out of our province and also hold those people that push it responsible. Any Albertan that accepts American money to push this bullshit deserves prison, especially those in politics like Danielle Smith.

​Listen up. We need to have a real talk about this 40 page document floating around because most of you are falling for a massive scam. You are being told that all our problems are someone else’s fault, but you are being lied to by people who think you are too lazy to do your own homework.
​Let’s look at the basic math. In the last 44 years, the NDP was in power for exactly four of them. The other 40 years have been the same group of people under different names like the PCs or the UCP. If your house has been falling apart for four decades, you don’t blame the person who showed up for four years to try and fix the pipes. That is common sense. The people in charge right now in Edmonton are the ones who built the system that is currently failing you. They want you to ignore what is right in front of your eyes and blame a “boogeyman” in Ottawa.
​Here is how the real world actually works, explained simply.
​1. Who actually runs your life?
If you are waiting 12 hours in an ER or your kid is in a classroom with 40 other students, that is a provincial responsibility. The UCP runs the hospitals. The UCP runs the schools. Section 92 of our constitution says these are provincial powers. When you yell at the federal government because you can’t find a family doctor, you are yelling at the wrong person. It is like complaining to the grocery store manager because your car won’t start.
​2. The Equalization Lie
They tell you Ottawa is “stealing” Alberta’s money. This is a total lie. The Alberta government does not write a check to Quebec. You, as a person, pay federal income tax just like every other Canadian. The federal government then decides how to spend that money. If we separate, you don’t magically get that money back. You would just be paying it to a new, smaller government that has to build its own army, its own border crossings, and its own currency from scratch.
​3. The Landlocked Reality
This is the big one. These separation people think that if we leave, we can just build pipelines wherever we want. Think about that for a second. If we leave, we are a foreign country. We would be stuck in the middle of a land mass with no ocean access. We would have to beg Canada or the United States for permission to move our oil across their land. They would have us over a barrel. They could charge us whatever they want or just say no. Separation doesn’t give us a path to the coast: it actually builds a wall around us.
​4. Gambling with your Retirement
They want to pull us out of the Canada Pension Plan. The CPP is one of the safest and most successful pension funds on the planet. The UCP wants to take that money and put it into an Alberta plan that they can control. Ask yourself why they want their hands on your retirement money so badly. It is a massive risk with your future just so they can win a political argument with the feds.
​The bottom line is that we are being played. We are being told to be angry at “the others” so we don’t notice that the people who have run this province for nearly half a century have dropped the ball. It is time to stop falling for this 1984 routine where you are told to ignore the facts. We need to be elbows up and working together as a nation instead of trying to blow the whole thing up because we are unhappy with the people we kept voting for.
​Do the research. Look at the history. Stop believing the fairy tales.
