In recent months — and as recently as last week — separatists have been wooing the Trump administration for support for an independent Alberta. They plan to continue those discussions with the U.S. State Department, and one Alberta Republican even plans to take the campaign further south, to Latin America, to rustle up support for the cause. Back home, the bid for Alberta independence saw a victory on Monday that could soon lead to a referendum: Elections Alberta approved a referendum question proposed by the Alberta Prosperity Project (APP). They discussed how the U.S. could support Alberta independence. Even former Alberta politico Thomas Lukaszuk, who founded the Alberta Forever Canada campaign earlier this year to halt the independence movement’s efforts and ensure Alberta remains in Canada, fears the separatists could break through.
