“Very, very senior” officials in the Trump administration have had secret meetings with far-right Canadian separatists trying to shake the foundations of the country.

The covert meetings between high-ranking U.S. officials and the Alberta Prosperity Project come as a widening rift appears between Canadian leadership and the White House. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney used a speech in Davos, Switzerland, last week to call out President Trump for creating a “rupture” in the existing world order.

This has created fertile ground for the clandestine meetings, with the separatists trying to capitalize on the friction. People familiar with the talks have told the Financial Times that the group from the oil-rich province where Carney grew up have met U.S. State Department officials in Washington, D.C. three times in the last nine months.

“The U.S. is extremely enthusiastic about a free and independent Alberta,” the body’s legal counsel, Jeff Rath, told the FT. He attended the meetings.

7. Alberta has oil.... who knew?

I hope we don't bomb them.

Alberta is the largest producer of conventional crude oil, synthetic crude, natural gas and gas products in Canada. Alberta is the world's second-largest exporter of natural gas and the fourth-largest producer.[101] Two of the largest producers of petrochemicals in North America are in central and north-central Alberta. In both Red Deer and Edmonton, polyethylene and vinyl manufacturers produce products that are shipped all over the world. Edmonton's oil refineries provide the raw materials for a large petrochemical industry to the east of Edmonton.

The Athabasca oil sands surrounding Fort McMurray have estimated unconventional oil reserves approximately equal to the conventional oil reserves of the rest of the world, estimated to be 1.6 trillion barrels (250 km3).[102] Many companies employ both conventional strip mining and non-conventional in situ methods to extract the bitumen from the oil sands.

Another factor determining the viability of oil extraction from the oil sands is the price of oil. The oil price increases since 2003 have made it profitable to extract this oil,

8. Now Canada should meet with New England separatists

Because a lot of us up here in the blue corner of the country would love to join Canada. How about an exchange? Blue US for Alberta?

16. Uhmm, didn't those Canadians who met with Trump just commit treason? Just wondering...

[NHvet]

17. Alberta is rich

in natural resources that others can get rich off of. Kinda like all the things underground in Greenland and Venezuela . I'm seeing a theme here.

[mwmisses4289]
