Mainly because 'treason' usually involves committing (or conspiring to) 'use force' or 'transfer secrets'. Obviously it would have a pretty high bar.

Being pro-secessionist wouldn't be treason, for example.

Arrest him for fucking everything and work out what sticks later.

Just because they won’t cross the border doesn’t mean a warrant can’t be issued. Lots of criminals are in other countries.

Is he not conspiring? Even election interference would qualify as conspiring.

But it involves neither force nor the transfer of secrets.
It goes like this
(a) using force or transferring secrets
(b) conspiring to do (a)

If your definition is too broad, any Fox News reporter in Canada could be arrested.
