U.S. confirms it met Alberta separatists. Is it 'treason'?

About this episode

As Prime Minister Mark Carney met with Canada's premiers in Ottawa, the U.S. State Department confirmed it had met with a group of Alberta separatists — leading B.C. Premier David Eby to accuse the separatists of 'treason' and the group to defend the talks as a 'feasibility study.' Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew says he sees the meetings within the context of U.S. threats against Greenland and attacks on the prime minister, arguing 'there's a lot being thrown at us to try to destabilize us' before talks to renew the CUSMA trade deal this year. Then, Northwest Territories Premier R.J. Simpson explains how the premiers and Carney discussed Arctic security following the U.S. demands for Greenland.
