The Trump administration and MAGA circles are closely watching the conservative, oil-rich province, particularly as a separatist movement has launched a campaign to organize an independence referendum.
Trump has promised to destroy Canada and/or annex it. This is a way for the USA to undermine Canada as a country. I imagine they’ll also be supporting Quebec separatists in secret, not because they have any real common cause but because they want to see Canada weakened and desperate.
(it’s also the classic Russian playbook - nudge here and there to cause chaos because chaos means a weak enemy. see Brexit. see “NATO is obsolete” etc)

It’s also the classic American playbook going as far back as the 19th century.
