Smith is fighting Ottawa rather than Trump’s tariff. This will cost us all

[WiltonRanch]

There’s a lot of politicking going on here. If you’re old enough to remember Trudeau sr’s nuclear bomb on the Alberta economy with the nep or your parents drilled into you how that asshole’s policy made them lose everything, you probably don’t trust this team Canada effort which sees to harpoon your economy and have the same effect as the nep. Smith is probably using these sentiments as chip to stick it to the feds and court favour with her base. Optics it doesn’t look good to the Americans as it isn’t a united front but Canada is at the most disunited state in its existence. The laurentian elite has screwed western Canada around since confederation and this is their just desserts. God forbid if Carney miraculously wins the next election I swear this is war.

Our current system seems to lead to the provinces needing to stand up for themselves. Appears to work for Quebec. Ottawa appears not to be working at all.

Alberta cons have always complained about the Feds because that's how the "oppressed" Albertan's get elected.

Trudeau killed the oil industry don't you know! LOL

I guess he did that with the TMX pipeline to the west coast while production has increased and oil companies made record profits in 2022 and 2023?

The second biggest export out of Alberta is incessant whining!

Plain and simple it's impossible for Smith to change lanes if she wants to continue to exist as Premier.

Trudeau has to remain the target at all times, even if Trump's the cause of it all.

Even PP has stumbled recently when asked the hard question. Easy to be tough when your not encharge.

Screw the rest of the Provinces, right?

Will you be having a big celebration today for Trumps inauguration cc ? i see sleepy joe has pardoned fouci , why would he need a pardon ?

[chuckChuck]

Because Crop, very stupid Republican antivaxers likes you attacked him and made death threats against him and his family!

Crop, Stay away from healthcare and hospitals and treat yourself with ivermectin and bleach for your dementia because you don't believe in doctors and medical science!

[cropgrower]

no , they are all running scared now

and by the way innocent people don't need a pardon

[sumdumguy]

They should all be running scared. The way they abused Trump for the last four years, no human deserves to be treated like that - and Americans said, “Wo Man, this could be me.” But guys like Chuck have no regard for their fellow man, only love crazy left-wing lunacy.
There’s anew sheriff in town Chuck.
