Alberta independence advocates reportedly want U.S. to ‘bankroll’ province if referendum on separation succeeds

United States government officials have held talks on three separate occasions with organizers of an Alberta separatist movement, according to reports.

The information, which was published in the Edmonton Journal and the Financial Times, comes at a time of increased tension between Prime Minister Mark Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump, and as the Canadian government tries to reduce its exposure to the U.S. on matters of trade, defence and foreign policy.
