Blatantly funded by the US. Where are all the "foreign interference!!!" Conservatives now? How is this legal??

Yes, but this is different

What you name in your post are independent movements that have been going on since pretty much forever, and it's a freedom that that population wants.

Alberta is just a bunch of rich pricks very likely directed and funded by the US. Yes, this part is slightly conspiratorial, but it is very obvious that that government has very unsanitary connections with the US Republicans.

Had it been for example Quebec, it might have been a different story, this just very much feels like the US Republicans working hard to destabilize Canada

Fuck Danielle Smith with an umbrella, she is a traitor who sold out the provence to the US, pretty much

For the record: Québec independence leaders are very adamant about the "historical relation to the US" these days: if Canada is divesting its economy, Québec should become independent to keep good relations with the US. So I would not be surprised if some money was flowing that way too.
Needless to say you see an independent Québec becoming a vassal state to the US from miles away.

Exactly, it is very telling the trumpists are salivating over Alberta but haven't touched Quebec, which is the one province that has a movement with an actually legitimate independence movement.
