Alberta’s government supports a proportionate and measured response to U.S. tariffs. However, our government will not allow Ottawa to cut off or impose export tariffs on Alberta energy – doing so would hurt Albertans and Canadians far more than Americans. pic.twitter.com/JVDeLGAQ9D

Ross McKitrick, economist, U of Guelf: “Unlike when talking about Brookfield or semiconductors, here [Carney] is very precise in his wording so later he can insist that he never promised pipelines.”
Brian Z. was unavailable for comment.
Killer Marmot declares the Chi-Canadian tariff should be 1,000x Trump’s tariffs!!
And how does she propose to stop Dougie from doing what Dougie has threatened to do?
She doesn’t have to at least she can say no to Ottawa.
Dougie just opens wide.
She’s not! That is not at all what she is suggesting!
Dougie’s sitting in a warehouse somewhere drinking all the American liquor that he bought but won’t sell.
And giving it away to all his friends.
Alberta could be star 51!
Crossing fingers…
If not Star 51, at least exit the maple laugh.
It’s to damn expensive to stay as we are, and as we have been.
We have been the financier of the country for decades and now with the constant full frontal attacks on our primary industry we have no other option
But, but… medical care is free!
Alberta could stand alone as a country. Alberta has about the same population as Norway, Finland and Denmark. The GDP per capita of Alberta is much higher than that of Finland and Denmark and at par with Norway. And the bonus, of course, is Ottawa wouldn’t be raking tens of billions of dollars out of Alberta to give to Quebec. I would view such a move as that of Ukraine when it unilaterally split from the USSR because it did not want to be dictated to by Moscow any longer. Ottawa is to Alberta what Moscow was to Ukraine.
Only problem is that Alberta would be surrounded by Canada to the East, West, and North, and by the US to the south. Alberta would be land-locked, and at the mercy of both Canada and the US to get it’s goods and services to market.
So why not go whole-hog, and simply join the US? Not a perfect solution, but better than the status quo.
If Justin keeps this up, we may yet get that new country.
But, she joined the other petty little tyrants and remove US booze from shelves.
How Courageous. How Brave.
How Pathetic!
She didn’t cry, so she can’t be sincere.
Per McKitricks comments – spot on – he doesn’t mean pipelines he means windmills and solar panels to provide energy for Canada. Using his failing green funds as providers of course.
Notice how Doug Ford states that Scott Moe is a patriot that will be able to leverage with our Potash and Uranium.
So F#!& off Dougie, stay in your lane. Like Danielle says, ask any way you want the answer is NO
Any export tax on oil by Ottawa would be a different version of the NEP. The money would go to the feds to dole out….in other words more theft by Ottawa.
