A network of YouTube accounts is promoting U.S. annexation to Albertans, researchers say. It has 40M views
The report does not identify a specific actor, but notes:

The channels used fake personas

Many accounts were created in clusters

The content style resembles low‑cost influence operations seen globally

The goal appears to be amplifying division, not legitimate political advocacy

Researchers emphasize that no evidence links the network to any Canadian political group.
