"The response that we're getting, quite frankly, from the present U.S. administration is very positive. We've been advised that the interest in what we're doing is extremely high, and certainly everything that we've seen indicates that this is far from a fool's errand," said Jeffrey Rath, an Alberta lawyer leading the delegation, during a press conference last week held just off the lobby of a well-known Calgary hotel. The conference wasn't well publicized, and it was obscurely signed — if you knew, you knew — and was thus populated by about 80 fellow travellers of the Alberta independence movement.

"We've been advised by the people we're speaking to in the States to not disclose who it is that we're talking to at this point," Rath said. But the goal is clear. They're going to Washington to meet with representatives of the Trump administration to "determine the level of support that the government of the United States would be prepared to provide to an independent Alberta."

Admittedly, they're only independent citizens — former Premier Jason Kenney called Rath a “treasonous kook” — though the press conference featured one former Conservative MP, LaVar Payne, and the U.S. delegation will reportedly include former Conservative MP Rob Anders.

The group claims support from more, including former members of Parliament, and current sitting members of the provincial legislature. While they're not acting as representatives of Alberta, they do believe they have a "strong mandate, given the will of the people of the province of Alberta for independence at 37 per cent."
