Eby calls reported meeting between Alberta separatists and U.S. officials ‘treason’

By The Canadian Press - January 29, 2026

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.

Eby, citing a report in The Financial Times, told reporters before the first ministers’ meeting on Thursday that it’s completely inappropriate for a group to ask a foreign power for help in breaking up Canada.

“Now, I understand the desire to hold a referendum, to talk about the issues we want to talk about in Canada,” Eby said.

“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.” . . . . "
