The article examines separatist movements across Canada, comparing the historic independence push in Quebec with recent efforts by unelected activists in Alberta. It notes that some Albertans advocating for independence have held private meetings with U.S. government officials, a move that critics have labeled as treasonous. Unlike the movement in Quebec, the article highlights that none of the individuals leading the Alberta campaign hold public office. Additionally, current polling shows that support for leaving Canada sits at roughly 18% among Albertans.
