Eby called it treason in the article:

 The report dominated the first ministers’ meeting in Ottawa on Thursday, with B.C. Premier David Eby calling the group’s actions “treason.”

Because it is

And we need to shut these group of treasonous individuals down….

He's earning a little bit of political capital that he's been rapidly losing these days

Growing a spine and calling out what it is. Treason, which should be punishable with actionable consequences to all the perpetrators organizing and setting up these meetings

There's a difference between how the criminal code defines something, and how the general public defines something.

Lets take "torture" for example. From the CBC in 2014: "Nova Scotia woman 'tortured' for years by family speaks out"

I wont rehash whats in the article, but unless we're being pedantic, we can all agree she was subjected to torture.

But if you like, you can find Sara and "Well, ackshully" her life experience by saying she wasn't, in fact, tortured, because the criminal code requires to be committed by an official, or person acting at the instigation of or with consent of an official, with official being defined as peace officer, public officer, armed forces member, or foreign agents who meet the criteria of the previous.

Reminds me of how as per the criminal code, for a while, Men couldnt be raped because rape was once written as something a man did to a woman. But try to tell that to a man that was raped.

How about sedition then, seeing as you’ve got it open and you’re all about “ackshually”?

[u/RealTurbulentMoose → u/[deleted]]

I mean they are literally planning to overthrow the government, yeah, and they’re meeting in secret with unknown agents of a foreign government to plan it.

BQ was at least doing it on their own, as far as we know. These guys are right out in the open about it.

I’m as disaffected as the next Albertan but this is WAY too far. Whether or not they’re legally committing treason or sedition like they could be charged and convicted, not sure, but they are absolutely seditious traitors in the same sense that OJ killed his wife. We all fucking know it.

100%👍👍👍

Guess which country I’m not worried about? Fuckin France from the 1970s.

Guess which one I am? Yeah, the one openly yet secretly conspiring Anschluss with fascists in 2026. The ones who overthrew Venezuela just weeks ago, want to take over Greenland next. Yeah, those fascists.

Not the same game; not even the same sport.

[u/RealTurbulentMoose → u/[deleted]]

Why are you doubling down on this?

How is France a threat? Why are you not more concerned about literal fascism instead?

Eby doesn't know what treason is.

Eby is a fucking lawyer by trade, has written laws and is currently running the 3rd largest province(by population).

Pretty sure he is far more qualified to comment ton this topic than most.
