EXCERPT: "A reported meeting between individuals in the Alberta separatist movement and White House officials amounts to “treason,” British Columbia Premier David Eby said Thursday in Ottawa.

“But 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.” . . . . "
