Are Alberta separatists committing treason by courting political support in the United States? Political scientist Duane Bratt says no, but argues the contacts still amount to serious foreign political interference.

Bratt also examines Christian nationalism’s influence on Alberta separatism and warns that the greatest danger may come after the Oct. 19 referendum, when delayed mail-in ballots could fuel an Alberta version of Donald Trump’s “Stop the Steal” campaign.
