Story summary

Calgary Liberal MP Corey Hogan called for legislative changes after revelations that Alberta separatists met with U.S. Republican strategists in Washington, D.C., suggesting exchanging water and oil resources for American support ahead of an October 19 provincial referendum on separation from Canada. A Globe and Mail investigation reported that these discussions include a proposal to build a railway to Alaska and a new oil pipeline through Washington State, potentially offering crude oil royalties as compensation. This has sparked concerns among federalists, with Conservative MP Dane Lloyd expressing worry over separatist promises regarding Alberta’s natural resources going to a foreign government. The meetings involve representatives from 10X Votes, a U.S. company co-founded by Drew Born who publicly advocates for Alberta's separation and annexation by the United States.
