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.

This event occurs amid existing tensions regarding Greenland’s strategic location and vast mineral resources and after the US Vice President denigrated Danish rule during a visit.

Despite one separatist leader acknowledging the wide gap between triggering a referendum and winning it, the Alberta Prosperity Project claims to have already secured enough online registrations to meet the new, lower requirement. This development comes amidst growing dissatisfaction with the recent federal election results.
