Moe and Smith should shut up!

Who remembers the jingle mail from the NEP the last time the eastern politicians knew what was best for the country?

Any tariff retaliation should be tit for tat. Most of what the US government is tariffing is aimed at central Canadian industries. Most of which we import back to Canada anyways. Maybe we spend our energy reducing interprovincial trade barriers. Seen a video where they were claiming Canada could unlock $200 billion of gdp by doing so. This country is so balkanized and a literal joke because of this. I’m a proud Canadian but a western Canadian and have some resentment to central Canada for their incompetence of leaving the west to blow in the wind but expecting it to tow the central Canadian line, and pay taxes. Still think Smith is an opportunistic cockroach with the Wildrose Party destruction albatross hanging upon her neck, and current separatist movement as silly. Days of western Canada concept those guys had more grounds. Ford and Kinew can go find a cheap hooker to beat on for all I care.

Why did Scott Moe and Danny Smith say resources can't be used as leverage in the trade war? Every other premier has not ruled it out .

Why would they give tRump any advantage by publicly saying this? They can argue their case behind the scenes. But it goes to show how incompetent they are at negotiating and managing this trade war.

Its probabaly not a good idea to escalate with these resources, but leaving it as an option gives us a stronger bargaining position.

In any case they are isolated and acting only in self interest while other provinces take a much bigger hit. Thanks a lot Moe and Smith!

And its not their decision in any case.

Its called team Canada, when you are negotiating trade deals! Its not team Alberta and Saskatchewan on their own!

They need to smarten up!

this whole post screams you not a farmer from Saskatchewan , never have been , nothing but a political troll from eastern Canada

Too bad you are wrong Furrow! Give up if that is your only lame comeback.

Only idiots like Smith and Moe think their main commodities that tRump wants should not be used as leverage in a trade war.

Its unlikely they will be used for leverage, but having a discussion in public instead of in private takes makes the threat less effective.

Of course Smith and Moe are playing to their significant far right tRump supporters and sympathizers and oil company supporters. Instead of standing up for Canada with the other premiers.

They are more than willing to let Ontario and Quebec suffer more than do their part.

They could easily take american alcohol off their shelves! But no that would be too hard! A couple of weaklings that want the benefits of trade but don't want to do anything to fight back that takes a little backbone!

Smith has been cozying up to MAGA types since she was elected knowing well that oil was off the table for US tariffs. She is a disgrace.

You just said in your China thread Smith and Moe must be respected as followers of Carney's great leadership?
It's like debating with 2 different people?

Smith says no one wins in a trade war.
We have to get back to the negotiating table.
Reports are she is heading down to see if she can get things going again.

Let these buffoons keep this childish taunting up and Eastern Canada will be freezing and hungry this winter. Cry me a river!

350 billion trading tariff free. 28 billion is all that is in question. Only a moron would give up on a trade deal that is working fairly well to save 10%. Far as dougie and the Frenchmen are concerned, we should leave our filthy oil in the ground. Why would we now use it to fight for them.

Shut off the oil to Ontario about November 15

Da East can go PHUCK themselves , PISS on Team Ontario/Kebec! They can get ruined so I can clap smile and get REVENGE on 150 + years of abuse!

I have said we are NOT one country but 10! Zip in common!
