B.C. premier calls meeting between Alberta separatists, Trump officials ‘treason’
We’ve got free speech, that’s important. But to go to a foreign country and to ask for assistance in breaking up Canada, there’s an old-fashioned word for that, and that word is treason,
I think we need to draw the line at people seeking the assistance of foreign countries to break up this beautiful land of ours that our forefathers, our foremothers, our parents, our grandparents fought for,
Going behind Canada’s back and negotiating is unacceptable. We’re one country and we should all be sticking together,

The U.S. has now identified the legislation as a trade irritant
We’re seeing small newspapers close. We’re seeing this attack on media right now and how critical media is, especially in a time of disinformation,
The door has always been open on our government’s side to discuss these issues. We’ve been having regular discussions with platforms since the Online News Act was developed. This is nothing new,

While recent court rulings have rightfully led Albertans and Canadians alike to question aspects of our criminal justice system, our government respects the role of each branch of government and supports their independence,
It ensures judges can make decisions based solely on the law and evidence presented,
We are not going to defer to unelected judges who do not have democratic accountability on their side,
Whether it’s the chief electoral officer or the court, they seem to want to approve the (citizen-initiative petitions) they like and hold up the ones they don’t like, and that’s not democracy,
