But not Smith and Poilievre, they yell “Trudeau, border, 2%, fentanyl, immigrants”. Thanks Smith, can you pull the knife out now, I can’t reach back there.
Your correct. She's not operating from fear and panic. She is operating from a place of grovelling and servitude. "Yes sir Mr. Trump.We will do your immigration work for you." - Pathetic. I'm embarrassed to have her as my premier...

I find the Premier of Ontario’s remarks about Canada being no Mexico extremely insulting to both countries. Canada under its own merits doesn’t deserve the tariffs and to think the comparison to Mexico is what bothered him most is insulting to Mexico.
.........one would think that.......Mexico, is to poor of its own system of economy, resources, medicare, and low living standards of a struggling nation.

"DRUG" ford does not speak for Canadians! The only time his opinion is valid is when you need suggestions on where to get good food , he's clearly an expert.
All these solutions she may be proposing sound good, but how much will this cost Alberta, and where are they going to get the manpower to do so? They can’t even get our policing services running right. Provincial, rcmp, sherrifs. Who’s going to pick up the slack for the lack of boarder security?
Canada and Mexico. CAN NOT fix America’s drug problem. If they want to do that - arrest EVERY user, put them in jail for the time they can get help with their problem, and fine them HEAVILY to pay for their border patrol! As for immigration - rural cities with MANY immigrants working in manufacturing that AMERICANS just will not do - and farmers NOT having enough workers to pick crops - the deportations will stop before they start! If you look on RUclips, you’ll find a farmer who had to dig a huge field of cucumbers under, because they could not get anyone to puck them. Over $100,000 in crop cost. How long do you think they can do that?!?!
except the problem isnt Canada or Mexico. Its the Americans that are bringing the drugs in. And if he does drop the tariffs, even though nothing was fixed, he will claim he fixed when he did absolutely nothing.
I don't have a problem with the NATO obligation of 2% for defense. And I don't like being used as a back door into the US, but the border crossing issue is a much greater problem northbound from the US than southbound from Canada. How come they don't tighten up their outgoing borders like they want us to do?
Its a country's responsibility to control who is coming IN the country. Not to prevent them from leaving the country. Our part in the problem is that we have too many people coming in who are coming for the sole purpose of sneaking through the southern border. So technically you are correct. However it would be much less of a problem if we were a lot more discriminating in who we were letting in in the first place. The one truth in this debacle is that we need to live in the present and the nearly nonexistent border between the 2 countries secured by nothing but honourable intent is a relic of an age gone by.
@@whiskybrush3219exactly! We just had a case down here in Minnesota where an Indian family flew into Canada in the middle of winter, crossed illegally into the US to meet a human smuggler, and froze to death in subzero temps. That's not a US problem, but a US/Canada problem. Then there's the drug flow from Canada into the US, and the gun problem flowing into Canada. The Biden Admin coaxes people into the US with promises of free money and Canada aids by letting just about anyone in no questions asked. The open border has, sadly, become obsolete and it's time we looked at securing it for the safety of both countries
Thank you Mercedes. Your tone and attitude in this interview are complete shift from how you interviewed Smith last time. I think were Canadian media is concerned, you're the most likely potential to be in the forefront of returning to journalism away from leftwing activist media. Please stay on this trajectory and regain respect for unbiased journalism. And of course, obligatory "Smith is what Canada needs right now."
@@sandrasennhauser601why? I live in northern BC. Close to the Alberta border. From everything I see, she is hands down the best premiere in this entire country. Why do you hate her?
I'm from Newfoundland and a huge fan of Premier Smith. She speaks clearly and logically regarding every issue. She does not allow the federal government to overstep their authority with regards to decision making in Alberta. She genuinely cares about the well-being of Albertans and Canadians in general. A fantastic representative of our country.
I am amazed one reason for tariffs is drugs from Canada - that's how bad our country became and Ford dares to be offended by Trump comparing Canada to Mexico when he shouldn't.
Canada seizes 10 times more illegal contraband per year coming from the United States than the other way around and WE Canadians pay for that. This is inherently an American problem that Canadian tax payers pay for.
Trump responds: You know, we're going to do fantastic things, many fantastic things, so fantastic, so fantastic, it's gonna be fantastic, you won't believe how fantastic things will be, things will be so fantastic that you won't believe how fantastic things will get, believe me, believe me.

She sounds very strong, logical and smart to me! I like her personality, especially the way she has been talking! The Federal government should listen to her intelligent proposals.
I agree the border needs to be tightened up. Immigration door should be slammed shut. Pierre kicked that door wide open for too long. I hate to say it however Trump is holding the Trump card.
@sockymcblackface7698 nothing to correct...pierre trudeau kicked the immigration doors wide open...open door policy...and the country was flooded like a tsunami
Donald Trump does not and will not mess around. Our country must strengthen our border and meet our defense spending targets and the US will not levy this tariff in two months. I wish Danielle Smith would consider leading the federal Conservative party. Alberta is so fortunate to have her. Doug Ford is foolish. We MUST get Justin Trudeau out of Ottawa.
What a team player. Undermining the national effort, great move Danielle. It's not like divide and conquer is the obvious strategy of pitting us against Mexico. Could you tell us how to solve drug and human trafficking? It's very selfish of you to keep this secret to yourself Danielle, the world has been battling these problems for at least a century. You would likely win a Nobel prize.
This is the best take--- Ford wants to pin us against Mexico which is bad enough and Danielle wants to pin Alberta against other provinces which is worse. We need unified front right now.
If team player means sacrificing the needs and well being of your province for the sake of an ideology rooted 3000kms away then yeah I guess she's taking care of home first. It's not on the Premieres to fall in line. It's up to the PM to bring us together. Tough task but still it's the sign of good leadership. Diplomacy rules. Negotiate. Get along.
@@jamesfishin Good thinking! The price of oil only goes up and Alberta never needs help every 15 years. Alberta is totally capable of going it alone, O&G is 3% of the Canadian economy! As not an Albertan, I bow down to the supremacy of Alberta. The next time Oil is $40/barrel I'm sure you'll refuse massive cash injections (effectively equalization payments under another name).
Danielle Smith est admirable! Nous avons besoin de personnes comme elles pour remettre le Canada sur la bonne voie. J’aimerais la voir à la tête du Canada un jour!
Funny how Premier Smith seems to have ignored Trump's other major platform element - energy independence, drill, baby drill! How does Canadian oil and gas factor into Trump's energy independence goals? Smith should be coming up with a plan B for Alberta and take Trump seriously on his pledge to get America independent. The writing is on the wall, the same way he talked about tarriffs.
When Trump declared energy independence, he included Canadian oil in that, and also Joe sold 90% of reserves to China, so Trump is going to need Canada for some time.
Except that, we Americans, have very little refining capacity for the lighter oils that we produce, so we sell those oversees and refine the heavier ones like those from Canada. Also, we very much want to end getting oil from Venezuela and we can't do so without the XL. Which by the way, we are already gearing up on this side of the border to finish. Let Trump get elected and get rid of Trudeau. Don't get too excited by Our Tariffs, we are only going to insist on fair trade and no illegals, drugs or otherwise coming across your border.
@rwjazz1299 no one cares how it was 5 yrs back not even yesterday the only thing people care is where are you today. Today is canada and mexico comparable honestly I don't think so but not in a good way mexico almost got the good chunk manufacturing feom canada.people are moving from canada to mexico for a better life and you still make fun of mexico.yeah
All Provinces better get their 25% tariff ready and no aluminum allowed to be sent to America ....or water or other minerals . America is hugely dependent on our resources daily....
Actually, they aren't. The trade agreements between the US and Canada, such as NAFTA, we're developed to give an edge to Canadian exports. The US has vastly more resources than Canada does. If anything, Canada will feel these tariffs much harder than the US will
I always thought USA is responsible to stop illegal migrants from Canada, and that Canada is responsible to stop migrants from USA. So I am wondering why migrants from Canada to USA is now Canada's responsibility. Why is the media not discussing the actual responsibilities and how it fits in with what Trump is saying we "must do"?
Because your government is allowing criminal too come into your country for the purpose of sneaking across our border and someone in your government is getting paid. Plus, the same applies to the drugs
What a revolting woman. Smith is the worst premier in Canada, a complete failure in every respect. Shes stabbing Canada in the back in this very interview
I don’t know. Nobody should leave Mexico dangling. They are becoming a very good partner with more and more influence. Between 2005 and 2020, more people moved back to Mexico - than came the other way!
I believe Doug was saying this in the context of illegal border crossings and fentanyl however he threw Mexico under the bus in doing so and at a time when Canada needs more friends and trading partners.
The problem with drugs in America is not the drugs coming in but the high demand for these drugs in America. If there was no demand there would be no supply. America should first look at itself as to how to stop their dependency on drugs rather than punishing other countries who are trying their best to stem the flow.
Most drugs were introduced by dealers hanging around schools and enticing young people before they could realize the danger. A lot of that sadly came from Mexico.
No denying America (and anybody else’s) drug problem is of their own doing. No demand, no supply. Be the biggest consumers in the world, have the largest problem. Don’t blame somebody else and put it on them to fix it without putting more of a solution in play yourself. Same with a border problem. Takes two on any border to make it good or bad…each side is accountable for what moves across.
As a person from Ontario that lives on a border with the US. Could we ask the US to work on drugs and guns coming into Canada. It’s a way bigger problem for us. Most gun crimes committed in Ontario are from illegal guns smuggled in from the states.
Do you rely and hold your neighbours responsible for who you let in your house?
Stop being weak Canada too woke and gay
That would be the responsibility of your fearless blackface leader. But he’s too weak to insist on anything from trump.
Depends on what position you are in the negotiations. Top or bottom? 😂
Once again what you people fail to grasp is that any and all illegal drugs or firearms crossing into Canada............not the USA.............is a direct result of OUR failure to halt these criminals in their tracks.............if WE...........Canada had a tougher and more guarded border more than likely this sort of thing would be lessoned...........unfortunately those responsible for bringing such into Canada are often smarter than our system allows and are very well organized and $$ changing hands is not to far fetched an idea either!!

All these solutions she may be proposing sound good, but how much will this cost Alberta, and where are they going to get the manpower to do so? They can’t even get our policing services running right. Provincial, rcmp, sherrifs. Who’s going to pick up the slack for the lack of boarder security?
The border is a smoke screen, he has other motives
Maybe all the 5 million immigrants here on student visas…😂😂😂
Love Daniel Smith makes so much sense. She’s smart and beautiful.!
Smith did advertise hard for ppl to come to Alberta as well...
To be fair Trump said he will lift tariffs when he deems that Mexico and Canada have fixed America's drug and immigration problems. No biggie😂😂
If I were PM I would ban all US products until they plug the guns coming over our border.
Canada and Mexico. CAN NOT fix America’s drug problem. If they want to do that - arrest EVERY user, put them in jail for the time they can get help with their problem, and fine them HEAVILY to pay for their border patrol!
As for immigration - rural cities with MANY immigrants working in manufacturing that AMERICANS just will not do - and farmers NOT having enough workers to pick crops - the deportations will stop before they start!
If you look on RUclips, you’ll find a farmer who had to dig a huge field of cucumbers under, because they could not get anyone to puck them. Over $100,000 in crop cost. How long do you think they can do that?!?!
except the problem isnt Canada or Mexico. Its the Americans that are bringing the drugs in.
And if he does drop the tariffs, even though nothing was fixed, he will claim he fixed when he did absolutely nothing.
Lol except none of it is coming from Canada
@@marcelaladez immigration is though
The entire Canada gov is actively and urgently working for Trump even before he enters the white house
AND THE REST OF THE WORLD! WHAT A RELIEF FROM GLOBALISTS!
Premier Danielle Smith shes an intelligent woman
Family will stop the drugs.❤
Well said! She speaks with such clarity in a time when there's so much noise.
Remind me why we keep trading our goods for paper IOU's the US prints out of thin air? Sounds like we're a bunch of suckers
Those paper IOUs are still worth more than your currency 😂
@Mike-8404 not really... All fiat is worthless.
I send Smith energy. She’s bright & a true leader. Love it. Rare
We are being bullied 😂 and I’m still on trumps side 🤣
You're a traitor.
You the type to get backstabbed and still be friends with that person
Thank God Canada has people like Danielle Smith. Such a practical person with her constituents best interests at heart.
Except she hasn't fixed a single thing.
I don't have a problem with the NATO obligation of 2% for defense. And I don't like being used as a back door into the US, but the border crossing issue is a much greater problem northbound from the US than southbound from Canada. How come they don't tighten up their outgoing borders like they want us to do?
Its a country's responsibility to control who is coming IN the country. Not to prevent them from leaving the country. Our part in the problem is that we have too many people coming in who are coming for the sole purpose of sneaking through the southern border. So technically you are correct. However it would be much less of a problem if we were a lot more discriminating in who we were letting in in the first place. The one truth in this debacle is that we need to live in the present and the nearly nonexistent border between the 2 countries secured by nothing but honourable intent is a relic of an age gone by.
@@whiskybrush3219exactly! We just had a case down here in Minnesota where an Indian family flew into Canada in the middle of winter, crossed illegally into the US to meet a human smuggler, and froze to death in subzero temps. That's not a US problem, but a US/Canada problem. Then there's the drug flow from Canada into the US, and the gun problem flowing into Canada. The Biden Admin coaxes people into the US with promises of free money and Canada aids by letting just about anyone in no questions asked. The open border has, sadly, become obsolete and it's time we looked at securing it for the safety of both countries
Thank you Mercedes. Your tone and attitude in this interview are complete shift from how you interviewed Smith last time. I think were Canadian media is concerned, you're the most likely potential to be in the forefront of returning to journalism away from leftwing activist media. Please stay on this trajectory and regain respect for unbiased journalism.
And of course, obligatory "Smith is what Canada needs right now."
Danielle Smith is willing to sell Justin Trudeau for 12 silver coins ??? Yes
I'm willing to sell Smith too... she's a useless Premier here in Alberta... I hate her
@@sandrasennhauser601why? I live in northern BC. Close to the Alberta border. From everything I see, she is hands down the best premiere in this entire country. Why do you hate her?
@@75oxymoron - You are correct.
@@josephwallis8965 - that would be about 11 1/2 spoons more than he is worth!!!!
@@sandrasennhauser601 - be thankful we have her!!!
I'm from Newfoundland and a huge fan of Premier Smith. She speaks clearly and logically regarding every issue. She does not allow the federal government to overstep their authority with regards to decision making in Alberta. She genuinely cares about the well-being of Albertans and Canadians in general. A fantastic representative of our country.
I am amazed one reason for tariffs is drugs from Canada - that's how bad our country became and Ford dares to be offended by Trump comparing Canada to Mexico when he shouldn't.
More drugs and guns come to Canada from America than vice versa.
@hope4everysoulnot true. Maybe watch a vice news documentary. The weed trade ended, but the fentanyl trade is still a thing.
Canada seizes 10 times more illegal contraband per year coming from the United States than the other way around and WE Canadians pay for that. This is inherently an American problem that Canadian tax payers pay for.
Danielle Smith for PM!
@@-svetlo - that would be good for Canada.
What to do when Canada runs out of Natural Resources! 😳
It’ll be in 400 to 500 years from now
Danielle Smith will save us!
And what is the US going to do?? This isn't a one way border!
Actually the US is the problem, not Canada
What a great leader Danielle is!
Canada 🇨🇦 and Mexico shouldn't let China spoil good commercial relationships with the US by developing an aligned tariff system for Chinese products.
the trade agreement signed by trump allows all three countries to do trade with whoever thats none of USA business
Money talks. The leaders are human. Easily paid for. Tough luck on cracking down on China goods coming from China.
Canada and Mexico should aline with China and stop kneeling to th bully US.
danielle smith is great really enjoyed this
Trump responds: You know, we're going to do fantastic things, many fantastic things, so fantastic, so fantastic, it's gonna be fantastic, you won't believe how fantastic things will be, things will be so fantastic that you won't believe how fantastic things will get, believe me, believe me. You know, we're going to do tremendous things, many tremendous things, so tremendous, so tremendous, it's gonna be tremendous, you won't believe how tremendous things will be, things will be so tremendous that you won't believe how tremendous things will get, believe me, believe me.

Bot comment
LOL. You get it!
And the cult fall for it every time lol
And Ford, Smith, and PP, repeat these words, because apparently half the population of both the U.S. and Canada, have no idea it means the opposite.
@@marlene8344 Bot comment from a profile made 14 years ago…? Do you even know how to tell if it’s a bot account? Or do you just call every opinion that isn’t yours a “bot comment”? No need to answer, that was obviously rhetorical, I can tell which, it’s the latter.
She sounds very strong, logical and smart to me! I like her personality, especially the way she has been talking! The Federal government should listen to her intelligent proposals.
Justin's basic Trutatorship is collapsing.
Trumps not happy about the total infiltration of Canadian Government, he knows whos behind it.
And it's fking glorious!!!
nope
@@bufords
Ouiiiiiiiii

Do you dream of a kaleidoscope of Trudeau heads?
Great interview. I really like her. Makes me want to move to Alberta!
This woman is incredible. Smith for president!!🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Talk talk talk but what is happening in alberta, where are the jobs you, where the doctor's, schools
BOT
What goes around comes around.
Thanks Danielle I’m so proud that you are Albertans premier
Good to see Danielle Smith doing the job that she needs to do, instead of messing up our social problems(outside of what she details).
I agree the border needs to be tightened up. Immigration door should be slammed shut. Pierre kicked that door wide open for too long. I hate to say it however Trump is holding the Trump card.
Pierre kicked the door open?! You want to correct that please?
@sockymcblackface7698 nothing to correct...pierre trudeau kicked the immigration doors wide open...open door policy...and the country was flooded like a tsunami
Shall she forever be in power, god bless you Daniel Smith you are the hero of Alberta!!!
Donald Trump does not and will not mess around. Our country must strengthen our border and meet our defense spending targets and the US will not levy this tariff in two months. I wish Danielle Smith would consider leading the federal Conservative party. Alberta is so fortunate to have her. Doug Ford is foolish. We MUST get Justin Trudeau out of Ottawa.
No. Trump will place tariffs regardless of what Canada does.
Trump will walk back his tariffs bluff when US industry makes its case.
As an American I hear Ms Smith as a voice of reason and reality
What a team player. Undermining the national effort, great move Danielle. It's not like divide and conquer is the obvious strategy of pitting us against Mexico. Could you tell us how to solve drug and human trafficking? It's very selfish of you to keep this secret to yourself Danielle, the world has been battling these problems for at least a century. You would likely win a Nobel prize.
This is the best take--- Ford wants to pin us against Mexico which is bad enough and Danielle wants to pin Alberta against other provinces which is worse. We need unified front right now.
If team player means sacrificing the needs and well being of your province for the sake of an ideology rooted 3000kms away then yeah I guess she's taking care of home first. It's not on the Premieres to fall in line. It's up to the PM to bring us together. Tough task but still it's the sign of good leadership. Diplomacy rules. Negotiate. Get along.
Alberta does not need Canada… Canada needs Alberta
@@jamesfishin Good thinking! The price of oil only goes up and Alberta never needs help every 15 years. Alberta is totally capable of going it alone, O&G is 3% of the Canadian economy! As not an Albertan, I bow down to the supremacy of Alberta. The next time Oil is $40/barrel I'm sure you'll refuse massive cash injections (effectively equalization payments under another name).
@@jamesfishin1🤣🤣🤣
Danielle Smith est admirable! Nous avons besoin de personnes comme elles pour remettre le Canada sur la bonne voie. J’aimerais la voir à la tête du Canada un jour!
Wow...I'm so impressed with this premier.....Great interview/discussion!... Trudeau's got to go!
“Yes, and…”. 👏👏👏
Funny how Premier Smith seems to have ignored Trump's other major platform element - energy independence, drill, baby drill! How does Canadian oil and gas factor into Trump's energy independence goals? Smith should be coming up with a plan B for Alberta and take Trump seriously on his pledge to get America independent. The writing is on the wall, the same way he talked about tarriffs.
When Trump declared energy independence, he included Canadian oil in that, and also Joe sold 90% of reserves to China, so Trump is going to need Canada for some time.
Except that, we Americans, have very little refining capacity for the lighter oils that we produce, so we sell those oversees and refine the heavier ones like those from Canada. Also, we very much want to end getting oil from Venezuela and we can't do so without the XL. Which by the way, we are already gearing up on this side of the border to finish. Let Trump get elected and get rid of Trudeau. Don't get too excited by Our Tariffs, we are only going to insist on fair trade and no illegals, drugs or otherwise coming across your border.
Doug Ford is right canada is not mexico the only thing is canda is going down and mexico is growing.
Canada is not yet Mexico. Check back in 5 years.
@rwjazz1299 no one cares how it was 5 yrs back not even yesterday the only thing people care is where are you today.
Today is canada and mexico comparable honestly I don't think so but not in a good way mexico almost got the good chunk manufacturing feom canada.people are moving from canada to mexico for a better life and you still make fun of mexico.yeah
Candia !!!?
@@yousefkhayeri8789 atleast when you troll change to a Anglo name better than LondonIstan though.
@@nitinprasad3842 Mexico’s economy is thriving compared to sell out Canada’s.
This is what an interviews should be like. Ask a question & get a reply without interruptions.
All Provinces better get their 25% tariff ready and no aluminum allowed to be sent to America ....or water or other minerals . America is hugely dependent on our resources daily....
😂😂😂😂😂 ya ok…. Canada is the world’s embarrassment.
Actually, they aren't. The trade agreements between the US and Canada, such as NAFTA, we're developed to give an edge to Canadian exports. The US has vastly more resources than Canada does. If anything, Canada will feel these tariffs much harder than the US will
I always thought USA is responsible to stop illegal migrants from Canada, and that Canada is responsible to stop migrants from USA. So I am wondering why migrants from Canada to USA is now Canada's responsibility. Why is the media not discussing the actual responsibilities and how it fits in with what Trump is saying we "must do"?
Because your government is allowing criminal too come into your country for the purpose of sneaking across our border and someone in your government is getting paid. Plus, the same applies to the drugs
Danielle Smith for prime minister.
What a revolting woman. Smith is the worst premier in Canada, a complete failure in every respect. Shes stabbing Canada in the back in this very interview
😅😅 have you paid any attention to the federal government
We need a Danielle Smith to save the Québec
Why was Ford disrespecting Mexico? Of coarse we are not Mexico. We're not Spain or Iceland either.
I don’t know. Nobody should leave Mexico dangling. They are becoming a very good partner with more and more influence. Between 2005 and 2020, more people moved back to Mexico - than came the other way!
@@gordoncheswick4169 Thanks, Gordon, I believe in Cooperation, not Competition. In business and in life.
I believe Doug was saying this in the context of illegal border crossings and fentanyl however he threw Mexico under the bus in doing so and at a time when Canada needs more friends and trading partners.
Rascist slur.
"Why was Ford disrespecting Mexico?"
Move to Ontario and you'll begin to understand....
This woman has more intelligence in her pinky finger then the whole federal liberal party.
The problem with drugs in America is not the drugs coming in but the high demand for these drugs in America. If there was no demand there would be no supply. America should first look at itself as to how to stop their dependency on drugs rather than punishing other countries who are trying their best to stem the flow.
Most drugs were introduced by dealers hanging around schools and enticing young people before they could realize the danger. A lot of that sadly came from Mexico.
Trying their best???? 😂😂😂😂 did you vote for Trudeau? Canada is an embarrassment.
Yeah...Mexico is trying "their best" to stem the flow of drugs and illegal aliens.
No denying America (and anybody else’s) drug problem is of their own doing. No demand, no supply. Be the biggest consumers in the world, have the largest problem. Don’t blame somebody else and put it on them to fix it without putting more of a solution in play yourself. Same with a border problem. Takes two on any border to make it good or bad…each side is accountable for what moves across.
An absolute treat to hear this Premier speak.
smith should know. she's the donald trump of canadian politics.
EXACTLY!!
And what’s wrong with that?? She looks after her population and doesn’t succumb to moronic woke pressure.
Alberta knows, you go girl 👍👍🇨🇦
Alberta is a disaster.
Danielle Smith could be an excellent PM in the future. The federal Conservative Party should head to this brilliant leader
Danielle Smith is fuggin AWESOME.
She fooled you.
