Most Canadians agree that Alberta separatists asking U.S. for help is treasonous: poll

Seventy-one per cent of Canadians agree with B.C. Premier David Eby’s recent statement that “to go to a foreign country and to ask for assistance in breaking up Canada, there’s an old-fashioned word for that, and that word is treason,” according to a new poll from Canada Pulse Insights.

The survey comes in the wake of claims that leaders of the Alberta Prosperity Project — a separatist group pushing for the energy province’s independence — have met with U.S. government officials three times in Washington since last spring.
