BC Premier Calls Alberta Separatists’ US Ties Treason Ahead of Ottawa Summit
BC Premier decrying Alberta separatists' US ties as treason during Ottawa summit.
On January 29, 2026, British Columbia Premier David Eby described Alberta separatists’ outreach to Washington as treason amid a Thursday summit in Ottawa with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. Eby cited reports that the Alberta Prosperity Project—a separatist coalition—met with U.S. officials, including former President Donald Trump’s team, and sought a $500 billion line of credit to bankroll a future province‑wide referendum. Eby warned that asking a foreign power for aid to break Canada constituted treason and pledged to raise the issue with Washington and Ottawa. Smith denied separatism support, while Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew joked about new referenda. The debate reflects mounting friction over Canadian sovereignty in Alberta and Quebec.
