Alberta's Referendum and U.S. Interest
Description
Alberta’s gearing up for a potential fall referendum on secession, but former Canadian ambassador Kirsten Hillman says U.S. players won’t dive deep into the debate—she’s seen little real American interest in meddling. A recent U.S. State Department meeting with the Alberta Prosperity Project, seeking a half-trillion-dollar line of credit, sparked concern, but Hillman downplays foreign interference as unlikely to grab White House attention. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is securing security clearances to monitor potential foreign influence, while the RCMP says no evidence of state meddling exists. Prime Minister Mark Carney is pushing back, insisting the U.S. respect Canadian sovereignty and plans to tour Alberta this summer, promoting unity and Canada’s strength as a nation that’s already great—and can always get better.
