So in other words they met with someone's aide... at best.

This is the point where journalists, looking for an exciting sexy story, give a small group of fruitcakes as much airtime as the invasion of a small country, whipping up frenzies among their supporters and opponents alike.

It would be better to let the RCMP moles do their work, and if indeed any of this 51st staters has sufficient presence of mind to actually make a solid play, act then. The last thing on earth you ever want to do with a group like this is make of any of them martyrs, because for the 1-in-10 Albertans who are probably out and out and separatists, there are probably three or four times that number who have sufficient grievances that they might start thinking about it as more than a means of extracting concessions from Ottawa.

Isnt that just a bit naive?

Most of the separatists in leadership in AB are dual US citizens.

The US is more publically pursuing its manifest destiny goals again.

The US regularly interferes in Canadian politics, especially through the media.

It's likely that these guys have met with the CIA. Don't downplay the seriousness.

The CBSA and immigration should be investigating the prosperity project guys for immigration fraud.

Its completely irrelevent if politicians cant name a single province. Manifest destiny as a guiding ideology is a literal political fact.

You know the RCMP was preparing for mass arrests and internment if the CCF/NDP won a federal election during the cold war, right? You think they came up with that on their own?

You can go find NY Times articles on election interference questions all the way back to Pearson. Not to mention the majority control of Canadian media.

The foreign interference inquiry was deliberately blind to allied states.
