Part 2/11:
A coalition of Albertans is actively working on assembling a delegation to Washington, aiming to discuss with the Trump administration the possibility of Alberta transitioning into a U.S. state. The push is spurred by a sense that federal Ottawa politicians have mishandled critical issues like trade, border security, and economic development, especially in the context of the strained relations caused by recent policies.
The speakers criticize Ottawa's approach, accusing it of mismanagement and a lack of understanding of Alberta’s economic importance. They express their dissatisfaction with the Trudeau government’s handling of trade wars, border security, and climate policies, which many see as punitive and damaging to the West’s prosperity.
