Trump Officials’ Alberta Loan Discussions Spark Separatist Claims
During a recent event promoting Western independence, former CEO of the Alberta Prosperity Project, Dennis Modry, claimed that officials in the Trump administration discussed providing Alberta with a $500 million transition loan to facilitate its independence from Canada. Modry also stated that they discussed a plan to support Alberta’s currency by exchanging Canadian dollars for U.S. dollars, and even hinted at the possibility of America recognizing Alberta as a state. These discussions took place during a meeting in Washington where Modry outlined the benefits of an independent Alberta, particularly its energy resources, to the United States. The separatist movement in Alberta, highlighted at the event, is driven by concerns over federal regulations, immigration policies, and a desire for greater alignment with American ideologies of small government and conservative values.
