The meetings, which took place in 2025 and early 2026, included participation from U.S. State Department officials. They discussed issues related to a possible referendum on Alberta's independence, as well as energy security. Although APP leaders claim that the contacts were at a high level, there has been no official confirmation of this.
Representatives from the White House and the U.S. State Department acknowledged the existence of these meetings but emphasized that they do not imply support for separatist movements and do not commit Washington to any actions, including financial or political assistance.
In Canada, this information has caused a significant reaction among politicians and experts, who view the contacts as a possible interference in the country's internal affairs. At the same time, the authorities in Alberta do not officially support the idea of secession from Canada, despite the activity of certain separatist groups.
The Alberta Prosperity Project is a socio-political movement that promotes the concept of sovereignty for Alberta and increased provincial control over its energy resources. Canadian media report that support for the idea of independence remains niche and does not have a majority among the region's population.
