The premiers are going to have to work together. We won't have a functional PM until after the next election, that can't happen before May at the earliest.
President Trump loves Alberta oil and the people I still remember Canadas birthday not to long ago when Trudeau said every province and territory and excluding mentioning Alberta
It's so obvious how quickly she followed Trump's false tarrif narrative before he's the presiding president. She's a Premier Trump sympathizer. Exposed by her paper thin stance. It's really unfortunate how she's preying on some Canadian's trust in her leadership. Well, good luck Alberta.

President-elect Donald Trump's proposed 25% tariffs on Canadian imports are a decisive move to rectify the longstanding economic imbalance between the United States and Canada. For years, the U.S. has shouldered the burden of protecting its northern neighbor, with American taxpayers funding billions in defense, while Canada has reaped the benefits without equitable contribution. This one-sided relationship is unsustainable, and Trump's tariffs are a necessary measure to compel Canada to pay its fair share. Reasons Behind the Tariffs: 1. Defense Expenditures: The United States has consistently invested heavily in North American defense, ensuring the security of both nations. Canada's comparatively minimal defense spending has allowed it to benefit from U.S. protection without proportionate financial commitment. Trump's tariffs serve as a wake-up call for Canada to acknowledge and compensate for the defense umbrella it enjoys. 2. Trade Imbalance: Canada has long enjoyed favorable trade terms with the U.S., often to the detriment of American industries. By imposing these tariffs, Trump aims to level the playing field, ensuring that American businesses and workers are no longer disadvantaged by unfair trade practices. 3. Border Security Concerns: The flow of illegal drugs, particularly fentanyl, and unchecked migration across the U.S.-Canada border poses significant challenges. Canada's lax enforcement exacerbates these issues, and the tariffs are a direct response to its failure to address them effectively. Implications for Canada: The imposition of a 25% tariff on all Canadian imports will have devastating consequences for Canada's economy: Economic Recession: Analysts predict that these tariffs will plunge Canada into a severe recession. Oxford Economics estimates a 2.5% decline in Canada's GDP by early 2026, with inflation soaring to 7.2% by mid-2025. Unemployment Surge: The tariffs are expected to lead to approximately 150,000 job losses, pushing the unemployment rate to 7.9% by the end of 2025. Energy Sector Collapse: Canada's energy sector, heavily reliant on exports to the U.S., will face catastrophic declines. The U.S. accounts for 20% of its oil consumption from Canada, and the tariffs will disrupt this trade, leading to massive revenue losses. Automotive Industry Disruption: The integrated North American automotive sector, with over $110 billion in bilateral trade, will experience significant disruptions. The tariffs will cripple supply chains, leading to production halts and financial losses. Currency Devaluation: The Canadian dollar has already shown signs of weakening against the U.S. dollar amid tariff threats, indicating a loss of investor confidence and economic instability. Conclusion: President-elect Trump's unwavering stance and the implementation of these tariffs will compel Canada to reassess its economic and defense policies. The era of the United States bearing disproportionate burdens is ending. Canada must now confront the harsh reality of its dependence on the U.S. and take immediate action to rectify these imbalances, or face economic devastation.
If only people understood Provincial government responsibilities versus federal. Smith is never happy and of course wants to overstep to negotiate with the Americans …stay in your lane Danny.

Trump won’t tariff oil. I think Alberta is best placed of all the provinces.

Hey Danielle, unless you're willing to help by witholding your oil as part of any retaliation, STAY IN YOUR LANE!

Perhaps think before you speak.
@lornemyers6638 You should avail yourself of your own advice.
