B.C. premier says Alberta separatists seeking assistance from U.S. is 'treason'

B.C. Premier David Eby says Alberta separatists meeting with the U.S. administration and seeking financial backing is an act of "treason," as the issue of national sovereignty loomed over a meeting between the premiers and Prime Minister Mark Carney on Thursday.
"To go to a foreign country and to ask for assistance in breaking up Canada, there's an old-fashioned word for that, and that word is treason," said Eby, ahead of the closed-door meeting in Ottawa.
He was reacting to reports that members of U.S. President Donald Trump's administration have held meetings with members of the Alberta Prosperity Project, a separatist group that is pushing for the western province to become independent.

Two separatist movements, two totally different reactions from the rest of Canada: the sweet hypocrisy of Canadian unity.
When the Bloc Québécois and Parti Québécois push for Quebec sovereignty, they're hailed as passionate defenders of culture and self-determination. It's noble, just, even romantic. "Vive le Québec libre! " rings out like a freedom cry.
But what if an Albertan dares to whisper about ditching Ottawa's endless resource grab and eco-tyrany? We get called traitors and spoiled Rednecks, accused of threatening the sacred Confederation!
Newsflash: If Quebec's quest for independence is "legitimate democracy," then Alberta's beef with federal overreach is no different.
Both are provinces fed up with a distant capital sucking them dry or ignoring their unique cultural heritage.
Yet one gets pats on the back, while the other get pitchforks. Call it what it is. Eastern elitism masquerading as patriotism.
Time to even the score.... or is "Team Canada" only for those who toe the Laurentian line?

The Canadian Museum of History
has an exhibit celebrating the time the President of France came to Montreal
and proclaimed "Long live a free Quebec"
Was that treason?
Or just when Albertans talk to the USA?
