See if I've got this right. These guys have no legal standing. They can't negotiate anything. Just some rabble rousers that the liberal news consortium are using to misdirect our attention from a real problem somewhere else. Don't we have something similar to the Logan Act?

I’m pretty sure these guys are the ones trying to stay in the media cycle.

Doesn't help when bots push it on social media, and the rebel, western Sentinel etc all give them air time. Im sure rules have been broken sonewhere by these guys but without proof not much can be done

More on that from the NBC story sourced by the Daily Beast:

Canadian separatists optimistic after meetings with Trump officials

U.S. officials tamped down on the meetings with the Alberta separatists, saying no senior staffers were present and no commitments were made.

So you'd be OK with any "no legal standing/can't negotiate anything/rabble rouser" folks, pissed off with Ottawa hitting up, say, China for similar help? Like loans or help with their own military?

I stand to be corrected, but not directly (re: it's illegal to illegal for Joe or Jane Schmoe to officially negotiate with a foreign government as official reps without permission/authority). We do have stuff covering interference, spying and national security stuff that can kick in, but not exactly "can't be a freelance diplomat" rules.

Global affairs does have to authorize foreign diplomatic travel. No idea what the rules around that are for private citizens though
