The Alberta Wedge... How You Break a Country Without Firing a Shot
This isn’t about independence... it’s about instability
You don’t invade a modern country with tanks anymore.
You do it with suggestions, referendums, and a few well-placed friends who swear they’re just “asking questions.”
That’s the move being floated right now with Alberta.
Not loudly.
Not officially.
Quietly—like slipping a crowbar into a doorframe and waiting to hear the wood crack.
Here’s what matters.
After Canada embarrassed Trump on the world stage—standing up for democratic norms while he played the international clown—the retaliation didn’t come as tariffs or threats.
It came as “what if Alberta…”
Not “what if Canada.”
Not “what if we negotiate.”
Just Alberta.
That’s not an accident. That’s strategy.
This Isn’t About Separatists Winning
There’s a dangerous misunderstanding floating around:
“That movement is tiny. It’ll never pass.”
It doesn’t need to.
The goal isn’t success.
The goal is plausible chaos.
You don’t need a majority—just enough noise to claim there’s “a crisis,” “a dispute,” or “people asking for help.” That’s how you justify interference without ever admitting you planned it.
Think of it like loosening the bolts on a bridge.
You don’t drive the truck across.
You just wait for traffic.
The $500 Million Question Nobody Wants to Ask
There’s talk—persistent, ugly talk—of a massive war chest tied to Alberta separatist groups. Hundreds of millions. Real money.
If that number were linked to China or Iran, we’d already have hearings, wall-to-wall coverage, and a dozen panels shouting “foreign interference.”
But because the fingerprints point south?
Crickets.
Funny how that works.
Why Alberta? Because It’s the Pressure Point
Alberta isn’t weak.
It’s proud, stubborn, fiercely Canadian—and that’s exactly why it’s being targeted.
If you can create the illusion that Alberta is restless, angry, or “on the brink,” you get leverage over the whole country.
It’s the same logic as threatening the breaker panel instead of the lights.
And make no mistake: this isn’t grassroots patriotism.
It’s imported grievance politics—rage with an accent.
The Referendum Shell Game
Here’s the part that should set off alarms:
A legitimate, Canada-affirming referendum existed.
It showed Albertans wanted to stay.
It got shelved.
The rules were quietly rewritten.
A new, constitutionally shaky question gets pushed instead.
That’s not democracy.
That’s stage management.
And it doesn’t matter if it fails. Once the question exists, the talking point exists.
That’s the whole trick.
Media Silence Is the Second Threat
This should be front-page news.
Instead, it’s buried—or ignored entirely.
We hear endless talk about “foreign meddling,” just never when the source is the United States.
Yet no other country is openly flirting with the idea of fracturing Canada.
That double standard isn’t accidental. It’s cowardice.
This Is Bigger Than Alberta
Canada isn’t being targeted because we’re weak.
We’re being targeted because we’re inconvenient.
A functioning democracy on the border—one that believes in law, pluralism, and collective responsibility—is a bad example for authoritarian politics.
You don’t conquer that with bombs.
You destabilize it and let it rot on camera.
Bottom Line
This isn’t panic talk.
It’s pattern recognition.
You don’t wait for the house to burn down before checking who left the gas on.
Canada needs to name this for what it is, investigate it like we would any foreign interference, and stop pretending that friendly flags can’t hide hostile intent.
Because if Alberta ever becomes “the excuse,” the damage is already done.

As an Albertan and Proud Canadian I find this movement very disturbing. I see long lines of people signing this ridiculous petition and then wonder why there is no media coverage. I personally don’t believe there are that many people that support this but the optics are bad. And now that I am reading that the TPP has met 3 times with “ high level “ White House officials, it looks even worse. And they are asking for another meeting in February. To hopefully cement the $500 million offer that they supposedly offered. We need to start making pointed calls and posts telling the truth of what would actually happen if Alberta tried to leave. Like losing CPP and OAS which I depend on. Those are just the first things. This is so obviously interference from the US why are we not seeing headlines.
Thank you for your writing. I am really enjoying it. It’s clear and to the point. Canada Strong🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
great insight. I echo what so many are saying... sadly we trust out erstwhile friendly neighbor. But as PM Carney said at Davos, the is the broken fractured past! Tomorrow or yesterday is gone. We are looking at a new reality. Time for middle powers to take themselves off the menu!! A cursory knowledge of wars tell us that the USA has meddled in many parts of the world and then gone on the attack when two parts collide!! Canada is the one part. Alberta is the other. The USA is doing what very few want to believe!! Meddling with Canadian sovereignty!! Time to speak up and get the Elbows UP!!
