Alberta’s Public Safety Minister Mike Ellis says the RCMP has found no credible evidence that the province’s growing independence movement is being manipulated by foreign interference.

Ellis’ reassurances directly contradict alarming claims pushed by some academics and legacy media reports suggesting Russian and U.S. forces may be fuelling separatist sentiment.
