I have never seen this media outlet before so the veracity is unknown but judge for yourselves I guess, it was a link from The Breakdown
Trump Officials Discussed $500M Alberta Independence Loan, Separatist Claims
Private details from a Washington D.C., meeting about Alberta becoming the 51st state was revealed at a separatism event attended by DeSmog.

500 million? Come on, that's not anywhere close to enough. Smith would blow that entirely on stationary that is the wrong size/colour.

Yeah, that number is ridiculously low. James Cameron probably spent that much making the Avatar movies.

$500m US is like $2billion cdn. Still too little. Maybe like $12 Trillion cdn.

That's about $5.7M per UCP MLA if they are going for straight bribery...

At some point does soliciting support from another country become actual treason?

Yes, I would say taking a massive "loan" to damage Canada would be treason.

Next we will hear how mad cow diseased cattle should be spared because an American company wants to resell the meat for cheap and think it's a waste.

He's one of the Alberta Prosperity Project separatists. Right?
One of the guys who was supposed to put together the referendum to separate but then Thomas Lukaszuk beat them to the punch with his referendum question.

The soul has clearly escaped. An empty pasty shell now wanders the Earth, unsure of it's role.

While this story being true wouldn't surprise me in the least, I'm not seeing this being reported anywhere outside of a couple of Twitter posts and a thread on Reddit. Until a legit news agency covers it, I'm gonna call bulls***.

And the US will trade your Canadian dollars for greenbacks. Like all of your Canadian bank accounts, RRSPs RRIFs, RESPs, GICs, TFSA, stocks, bonds, mattress savings?? Yeah, of course they will. Totally wouldn't be a fiasco as people try to game the process to make a quick buck. Won't be inflationary either I'm sure.
