Trudeau has to take a stand, if he even wants to look like he has any form of strength, after his cowardly run to Mar-a-Largo, to kiss, King Trumps ring!
Really, I was born and raised in Alberta, and not once, did I want to be an American State, or placate a Fascist, Racist, like King Trump. Maybe Ted Cruz, would be a great pick as Governor of Canada, as he was born in Calgary Alberta.
Smith has yet to honour her campaign promise of lower provincial income tax or meaningful healthcare reform. She is just as useless as Trudeau all while gaslighting Albertans.
Although I personally dislike Junior, what the Orange Goon said was a slight on all of Canada and not just on Junior. He is a very disrespectful person and is dangerous to the world.
Under King Trumps administration and rule, as Governor of Canada. That's sounds so Great, doesn't it. Maybe we can get Ted Cruz, a position, in the Alberta government, since he was born in Calgary Alberta.
Yes please, Let King Trump take control, of Canada, that way, Danielle Smith, can become Governor of Canada, and then she can enjoy the Fascist Regime, that soon will be the Government, of the United States.
Definitely, need a new Canadian Leader, that doesn't allow our Transportation Systems, Oil Companies, Lumber and Manufacturing, to be controlled by American Corporations and their CEO's, operating freely in Canada, and paying pitence in Royalties, that do nothing for our economy. The jobs , Canadians receive, aren't worth the servitude, that we give away, from our natural resources.
And Danielle Smith will give America,and King Trump whatever they want, as long as Alberta continues to get the pittance of the Royalties, that she thinks Albertans deserve, under the new Fascist Regime.
She was also the only "Canadian" politician invited to join this American Governor's "Club". These are the most powerful Governors in the States, and Alberta is considered an "equal."
Anyone including everyday citizens can request and receive a invitation to the inauguration of the incoming president of the United States. Alberta also had an office and lobbied in Washington D.C. for decades it's nothing new. However, you thinking she's viewed as a equal is laughable and sad.
@evamarielott9528 no my point is that Trudeau is hated by Trump so much that they are taking every opertunity to insult him . Maybe Trudeau should tone down the anti Trump rhetoric. Alberta is forging it's own path with the American economy now.
Think Canadas social programs are lacking, To live in the States, where they would tax you, for wiping your butt, if they could. I can't imagine what it will be like under King Trump and his Fascist Regime.
Trudeau, a gutless, wimp, who ran to Mar-a-Largo to kiss Trumps butt, is as embarrassing as Mika Brezinski and Joe Scarborough, who did the same, as not to be on King Trumps hit list!
So refreshing to hear a politician that can answer the question and sound like she knows something unlike all the NDP/liberal party members who repeatedly use talking points
Power hungry turds, that live off Donald Trumps verbal diareah and hateful rhetoric from Tucker Carlson, doesn't make a proud premier, but just a Trump sycophant.

Vassey blames someone else for Canada's mess, which is all at the feet of the Liberal/NDP governing body. There is no need to scapegoat anyone else. Maybe look at and question Canada's leadership.
I think Danielle Smith is one of the smartest Canadian Premiers I've ever seen. She actually should be Prime Minister of Canada, she's doing 1000 times better than Justin Trudeau! I cannot wait to vote for Pierre Poilievre in the next upcoming Federal Election. And I cannot wait to finally move out of Manitoba into Calgary, Alberta to support Danielle Smith!
It was studied by industry analysts within hours. They literally make billions on a price of oil difference of pennies. They study if a bird farts in Venezuela. We supply 1/3 of American oil usage. The American industry is terrified of the effect a 25% tariff and any responses would create.
Not sure what your point is If Canada puts tariffs on products coming into the country. Canada will be shooting itself in the foot. So don’t retaliate. The USA will not go broke not selling to Canada. In trade between the countries, Canada gains 350 million customers The USA gains 40 million new customers Who benefits the most ?
TG for Premiers like Smith & Ford & Kinew, with Trudeau insulting American's electoral choices and doing less than nothing about this. It's clear Trudeau was never taught ethics, morals or leadership basics. Musk nailed him with an "insufferable tool".
Yes She would like privately run corporate powers to take over delivery of healthcare, retirement income, and anywhere corporate America feels comfortable in stealing from the purses of the working tax payers!
I wish Mr. Trump could meet both female PMs from Canada and Mexico. Danielle looks stronger and smarter than Poilievre. Only two females can defeat Mr. Trump, and those are Danielle and Sheinbaum from neighboring countries, not Kamala and Hillary.
Alberta made $19.7B in oil revenue this year. It will cost $130B for the initial cleanup of the sludge ponds. Please explain how this makes financial sense
@AlOliver-m2y those are the numbers given by the Alberta energy regulator. There is much speculation on what the actual clean up will cost. To put this in perspective the tailing ponds holding toxic sludge are larger than England. It's a massive job that will take decades if it can even be done at all

An American answer, to Canadas dilemma, is to roll over and get screwed, over and over again, as they continue to suck our resources dry, for their economic benefit.
I think everyone knows that tariffs will increase prices down south. That is why they are doing it, collecting big tax money off Alberta's back that will make Quebec look cheap and easy (how is that for irony) so they can fund the trump administrations' rather expensive policy plans.
You do know that Trump will end the Quebec dairy cartel and flood Canada with cheap cheese, milk and eggs, will add the tariff to Quebec electrical exports, and will tariff all the products that Quebec manufacturers ship into USA, ending those jobs, as they simply won't be worth the prices.
You've got that right, maybe someone should check to see, if she was born South of the border, or maybe she is a cousin of Ted Cruz, who was born in Calgary Alberta.
Hey Smith, why are you running ads using tax dollars claiming Alberta has great public service when you have the highest trained yet lowest paid paramedics in the country? If I wanted gaslighting, I’d keep listening to Trudeau.

@@CashMacGregor How about the $billions in taxes and royalties we get from the energy industry. Gasoline is cheaper in the states because they have considerably less taxes on it.
Regardless, we still have huge leverage. An export tax on oil and gas to the USA will get them to drop the tarrifs
