9:19Now PlayingCanada's Prime Minister Mark Carney is pushing back on reports that US officials have held talks with groups in favor of an independent province of Alberta. Prime Minister Carney says he expects Washington to respect Canada's sovereignty.
Alberta is a province in western Canada, about the size of Texas. It has rich oil deposits, and accounts for about 84% of Canada's crude oil production. Carney's comments come as separatist groups in Alberta ramp up efforts to force a provincial referendum on leaving Canada. That's a move that has reignited political tensions between the national government and the conservative leadership in Alberta, Ottawa, and the United States.
Support for independence does not enjoy the support of a majority of Albertans. But it has gained visibility amid frustration over federal energy policy and long-running disputes over oil and gas development.
