Smith is straight up looking like a treasonous traitor right now.

She should be given the biggest of side eyes. A lot of the laws Alberta has been passing are fairly direct challenges to Charter rights.
Yeah
I always start hostile negotiations by saying what would hurt me the most and not committing to back up my own interests.
Dude. That's her mandate. It's not that she's betraying Canada; it's more that the R.o.C isn't really a consideration. Barely an afterthought, there to buffer the oil numbers.
She's even betraying Alberta. Yes, because "Alberta" is not the same as "the oil and gas industry".
The conservative oil boot-lickers in Alberta have decided that the province must suffer Dutch Disease no matter what and at the expense of everyone else.
I was watching CBC coverage of some press conference Poilievre was doing, going on and on about the need for an "axe the tax election" (??). Someone asked Poilievre what he was doing to fight against Trump's proposed tariffs and Poilievre says he's not the prime minister, but if Canadians give him a mandate, he'll fight for their interests, etc.
Then the CBC commentator cuts in and says "It should be noted that there are many people who aren't the prime minister who have decided to adopt a "team Canada" attitude and are doing what they can to make the case against tariffs."
The bluntness and absurdity I just found hilarious.
It’s so weird that Danielle Smith and Pierre Pollievre are breaking ranks. It’s like their entire philosophy is “Fuck Trudeau”. Shows who’s side these fucks are.
Even the other conservative premiers are supporting Justin Trudeau.
It's not weird, their interests are not the same as your interests and certainly not the same interests as the average Canadian or Canada as a nation.
The bluntness and absurdity I just found hilarious.
I'm glad someone is calling him on some of the bullshit.
Note that the weaselly fuck didn't answer the question about what he would do. I bet he has the beginnings of an inkling of what he could consider doing if he's prime minister -- or what was Mr Trump's status for his any-day-now healthcare master plan from 8 years ago?
But Poilievre, who polls suggest could become prime minister in the next federal election, repeatedly refused Thursday to say whether Canada's energy exports should be part of a Canadian retaliatory strategy. Poilievre's dodge came after Alberta's leader broke ranks with her provincial counterparts and Trudeau and refused to support any plan that did not have a carve-out for oil and gas.
Hey, Pollievre said something definitive? Hopefully people are listening that he cares more about oil and gas than the entirety of the country.
Ontario can lose all its manufacturing jobs, but we have to protect oil and gas. BC can burn and flood, but we have to protect oil and gas.
Poilievre at one point challenged a question on energy tariffs, saying he didn't understand it because “we don't import almost any oil and gas from the Americans, at least raw oil and gas. We mostly export it.” Canada’s energy regulator says the U.S. remains the top destination for Canadian crude oil, but also says the U.S. is the largest source of Canada’s imported crude oil, with 72.4 per cent of Canada’s oil imports originating from the U.S. that same year.
I've seen "I love oil and gas" advertising... It's a mental illness.
Aside from him not knowing how to campaign against anyone but Trudeau, this dodge could be quite a weakness for PP going into the election. If other parties are smart, they'll capitalize on his evasiveness about defending Canadian sovereignty.
PP has no plan and won’t stand behind anything. Canada loses if he’s elected. Just look what happened in the states when cons elected trump. Fail.
Conservatives are 5th columns.
SLAMS!
