Description
As Albertans prepare to head to the polls Monday to cast their ballots in a referendum on whether to hold a binding vote on separation, one major concern for the federal government is that the vote is being targeted by foreign interference. Alberta’s separatist leaders have confirmed they met with U.S. State Department officials but denied reports they offered natural resources in exchange for U.S. support. Meanwhile, Canadian researchers are reporting a growing tide of foreign misinformation online.
