Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent promoted the idea of the province of Alberta voting to exit Canada as his boss lusts for U.S. expansion.

The top Trump officials leaned into “rumors” during an interview on the right-wing streaming channel Real America’s Voice.

“Alberta’s a natural partner for the U.S. They have great resources. The Albertans are very independent people,” Bessent said. “Rumor is they may have a referendum on whether they want to stay in Canada or not.”

    I have seen Beasant discussed as well regarded on wallstreet. Yet whenever I hear the guy speak he sounds like a complete moron. Then I discovered he took a fund worth 4 billion and turned into a 557 million dollar fund and I realised there was evidence to back up him being a total moron.
