Caption: Carney Warns U.S. to Stay Out of Alberta Independence Debate. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is urging the United States not to interfere in discussions around Alberta independence. Speaking in Ottawa, Carney said he expects the Trump administration to respect Canada’s sovereignty and avoid involvement in internal democratic debates. While reports suggest Alberta separatist groups have met with U.S. officials, Carney stopped short of calling those efforts treasonous. He said the issue has not come up in his talks with President Trump and emphasized unity with Canada’s provincial leaders - According to Politico. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith echoed the call for non-interference, saying Alberta’s future should be decided by Canadians alone. Meanwhile, separatist organizers are pushing ahead with a petition campaign and seeking U.S. financial backing — moves that several premiers have sharply criticized as crossing a red line. Polling shows support for Alberta independence remains significant, but drops when voters consider the real-world costs.
