Fox News has picked up the story:
“A Canadian lawyer is leading efforts to explore the possibility of Alberta joining the U.S., as President Donald Trump continues to push for closer ties with Canada’s energy-rich province.
"There’s literally hundreds of Albertans that are reaching out and volunteering to join our delegation," Jeffrey Rath said Thursday on "FOX & Friends."
👉Rath and a small group of Albertans are planning to travel to Washington, D.C., to discuss potential pathways for Alberta, including 👉independence with economic ties to the U.S., territorial status,
or full statehood.
He believes the movement will gain traction as dissatisfaction with Canada’s federal leadership grows.
t’s a steering committee of people that are looking to come to Washington on an exploratory basis and meet with a representative appointed by President Trump," Rath explained.
"To explore the benefits of either Alberta becoming an independent sovereign nation with economic union to the United States, becoming a U.S. territory, or pursuing full statehood."
Rath argues that Alberta, home to 4.9 million people and a major hub for oil, manufacturing, and construction, has little in common with Canada’s political elite.
"They’ve completely lost their way," he said, criticizing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s administration.
