Here is some info on Atlantica, from a greoup that is rallying against it. There is a lot of high placed people supporting this portion of NAU.

What is Atlantica and Why Are We Against It?
Atlantica, the International Northeast Economic Region (AINER), is charting a course towards breaking down barriers for big business in Atlantic Canada, Eastern Quebec, and the Northeast United States.

While Atlantica acknowledges economic distressed regions of Newfoundland, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, it seeks to perpetuate local economic hardship in these regions by lowering minimum wage and concentrating economic wealth in a proposed Atlantica triangle.

This proposed triangle includes Connecticut and spreads to the three points of Boston, Albany and New York. Proponents of Atlantica, Atlantic Canada’s business elite and their policy research arms, blame ‘too much government’ as economic burdens in our region when in reality it is the cheap sell off of our public resources, privatization of our public services and other concessions for large corporations.

There is a similar right wing movement in the East called Atlantica, proposing a union of New England and the Maritimes.

All of these so called movements are essentially trying to break up Canada and bring about a form of North American Union. Very dangerous people IMO

From Wikipedia:

Cascadia (commonly called the Republic of Cascadia as a full name) is a proposed name for an independent sovereign state advocated by a grassroots environmental movement in the Pacific Northwest of North America. This state would hypothetically be formed by the union of British Columbia, Oregon, and Washington. Other suggested boundary lines also include Idaho (all or parts), western Montana, Northern California, parts of Alaska, and parts of the Yukon. This type of “federation” would require secession from both the United States and Canada. The boundaries of this proposed republic could incorporate those of the existing province and states.

At the maximum extent, Cascadia would be home to more than 17 million people and would boast an economy that generates more than $450 billion worth of goods and services annually, which would place Cascadia in the top 20 economies of the world.[3]

I don’t know about Alberta, alone, but there is a tiny group that wants to Build a “Republic of Cascadia, which would include BC, Alberta, Washington, Oregon, and Idaho.

These are largely White Supremacists and Militia types. Scary bunch.
