U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent commented on the separatist movement in Alberta on Friday — making him the highest-ranking member of the Trump administration to weigh in on the province’s politics.

While appearing on the right-wing station Real America’s Voice, Bessent claimed Canada won’t let Alberta build a pipeline to the Pacific, adding, “I think we should let them come down into the U.S.”

Bessent says there’s a “rumour they may have a referendum on whether they may stay in Canada or not.”

Organizers of the Alberta independence movement are collecting signatures in order to trigger a referendum in the province.

    the whole separatist narrative is being grown and pushed by these chuds. ATLAS network and their cancerous cohorts (think heritage foundation in the states) has been making this into a reality for some weeeeird reason.

    almost like creating some kind of weird idea that albertans are being trapped by evil communist canada, and might need some help becoming free?

    canada needs to respond to this as the threat and assault that it is.
