Editorial opinion... by editor Paul Boisvert

It’s official. The United States Embassy in Ottawa has promised that there will be no future meetings held between the U.S. State Department and Alberta separatists. Source The Maple a Canadian based independent news outlet.
U.S. officials have also complained about Canadian interference. They may have a point. Remember when Former Alberta Premier Jason Kenney spent $1.5 billion on a bet related to the Keystone XL pipeline, hoping that Donald Trump would win the U.S. presidential election and allow the project to proceed. Biden won the election. Would that be considered an investment or interference?
We also had Conservative MPs campaigning for Trump during his first run for office.
What we do know is U.S. Republican operatives worked with Alberta separatists ahead of the province’s referendum and staff in the U.S. State Department met with separatist leaders last year. Maybe they wanted to talk about the weather. Anything is possible. It gets worst. The Globe and Mail reported that separatist leaders allegedly offered the Americans key natural resource assets in exchange for assistance in transitioning Alberta to independence.
That alone shows us how stupid separatist Albertans are. The Texas billionaires already own all the oil reserves. What other ‘natural resource’ could Alberta give? You can’t make this stuff up.
Many Albertans were angry about what has happened. I have a brother working in the oil patch. I also have a sister there and many friends. They have a pretty good handle on the situation and were part of the 75 per cent who voted against having the referendum on independence.
What should we do now? Get rid of Allison Smith and the UCP.
