In 2024, Alberta contributed nearly as much to Canada's economic expansion as much-larger Ontario despite having about one-third the population, Reuters data show.\nSeparatist leaders say they recently met US State and Treasury Department officials in Washington to discuss how an independent Alberta might function, including ideas such as switching to the US dollar and setting up its own military and border regime, NBC News reported separately on Thursday.\nA White House official told Reuters any such sessions were routine contacts with civil-society groups and involved no promises, while a State Department spokesperson said only staff-level meetings were held and no further talks are planned.\nCarney has publicly urged Washington to \"respect Canadian sovereignty\" and has offered Alberta concessions, including rolling back some climate rules and backing a new pipeline to the Pacific coast, in an effort to cool tensions.\nThe separatist push is unfolding amid the 2025–26 trade war sparked by Trump's tariffs on most Canadian imports and his latest threat to block the opening of the Canada-funded Gordie Howe International Bridge between Ontario and Michigan.\nWhile Alberta Premier Danielle Smith tells Reuters that she favors a “strong and sovereign Alberta within a united Canada,\" her government has lowered signature thresholds and expanded citizen-initiated referendums, steps critics say have made it easier for separatists to force a vote that could deepen one of the most serious unity challenges Canada has faced in decades.\nPhoto Courtesy: Protasov AN on Shutterstock.com\nTo add Benzinga News as your preferred source on Google, click here.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"}}}
