9:54 i’m a born and bred East coaster. And I stand with Alberta and premier Smith. She actually has Canada’s best interest. I hope to see her one day as Canada’s first female Prime Minister. She’s a diplomat and a pitbull at the same time. I have the greatest respect for this woman.

What answer is that? She just wants to use "diplomacy" to deal with the tariff threat, but diplomacy has its limits. What happens after diplomacy fails?

Yes he will, intentionally. It isn't just the Americans that want the borders tightened up, it will benefit Canadians equally and this is why the WEF puppet won't do it. He has proven that anything that hurts us or OUR country, he's totally in agreement with it. The Liberals have to go, as Carnage & the Twitch Witch aren't one bit better.

Why would car parts get a tariff? Trump said if they don’t manufacture parts there then he would put a tariff on it but they produce parts in the US for most cars except Chinese made.
@@thegreatdominion949you're an idiot if you think that we have any response that would impact America that won't destroy us. 30% of Canada's GDP and dollar value is directly oil, another 15-20% is based off of processing non oil based oil byproducts (such as benzene, xylene, parrafin wax, etc), and building the things to backup or build the oilfield such as a large portion of the easts steel industry. How about cutting off 80% of Ontario's, Quebec's, BC's and the Maritimes economies? How would you feel about that? They're the ones who have put Alberta and to a far lesser extend Saskatchewan, in the position that we have exactly one customer for oil.
@ Just not with her precious oil and gas right? Nobody, including her, really knows what Trump is going to do, if anything. Uncertainty is his greatest advantage. Not being prepared for all contingencies is manifestly irresponsible.
Trumps call for Tariffs, while they could be a smoke screen for other things he wants like border control, was a wakeup call for Canadians. This country can be so much more than it is. Energy is one of our most lucrative resources and only being able to sell it at a discount to the US hurts us immensely. We need pipelines built in order to lessen our dependence on the Americans. That would be a start.
Exactly. Remember all the pipelines that were approved by the feds in the last 10 years. Remember how every time a pipeline either ruptured or was broke? Always near the existing line that they wanted to put in.. After this, I most definitely think Trudeau paid the activists to sabotage those pipelines in order to give an excuse to shut the new lines down and to keep any extra money left over from putting the original motion through.
Just think...if we had Energy East built, an east/west corridor could be assured for fuel stocks. The constant obstructionists who stand in the way, making excuses instead of solutions. Many oblivious to the entire point of this energy corridor and why it was important. Zoom forward 15 years and the naysayers are finding out and suddenly they are all pro-oil. Even some dick of "Chief" of some FN group suddenly has an about face and wants Northern Gateway to go ahead. His excuse rather ludicrous, he believes Trump would build THAT anyway...as though Trump has any input on it. He doesn't...never did...but it is a weird thing for the Chief to say. I'd have pushed him on that pathetic explanation and have him admit he was completely wrong and it has nothing to do with Trump at all and that he is just a hypocrite suddenly seeing the writing on the wall when the shit hit the fan. The rest of the LPC ilk back peddling on carbon tax now. The damage they did may never be reparable...
"Being elected by 14 year olds' in the Liberal party does not give you a national mandate".. Brian giving our small city news segment time every week and coming in hot. Love it! Stamp @09:12
Mostly Ontario/Quebec...Line 5 is their only source for gas/diesel and LNG. Doug wants to shut off the taps of oil to the US. I am betting that nobody dared point out that the oil going in produced that fuel coming out. But I guess one cannot account for that kind of stupid taking over government. Upping border security would be a lot cheaper. Meanwhile, a US border agent was killed by an illegal who entered Canada and returned back to the US, armed...most details are not clear beyond the fact that he was an illegal in BOTH countries, was armed and willing to murder. These are things that Trump is going on about...while Doug loses his mind and would rather fight the 1000lb gorilla instead.
I gave up on Canada, I left two years ago and I keep praying to return when it gets better there....and it just KEEPS GETTING WORSE...my heart is breaking....now what family I have left in Canada is leaving now too.......JT just destroyed everything. We are white btw....

I live in Ontario but If I lived in Alberta I would want to separate from Canada. Smith is doing way more than all the other premiers put together. I think its time to move out West. Trudo is going to make a mess of this just like everything else he touches.
Brian is right. I have lived in Alberta. When Trudeau's dad messed up in the 80's he did the same when he got in with the oil. It just drove knife further into the back of Albertans. Does he still not get it. Only one seat in Alberta federals is not Conservative. What does that tell you about how Alberta feels about Trudeau. Plus when Canadians understand that Canada is only the size of California. Which means an economy is that small. Pres.Trump knows that whatever Canada does will not impact their economy that much. In fact that money they may spend will end up back in the country. Likely spent on their products further boosting their economy. If they think it will hurt the U.S. They know little about the American economy. Canada will suffer in many areas. Which will make it difficult for Canada to survive if it thinks it will make Americans pull back. Canada's ability to produce is so small that it does need to be concerned about becoming a third-world nation. This is the message Pres. Trump was sending Trudeau about being a governor. Trudeau is making such a mess of our country. The other thought is he may turn to Mexico to buy more. Not many talking about this area. Remember buying Mexico is much cheaper than Canada. Even a lot of the auto industry is already there now.
A big part of our inability to produce is directly linked to Turdeau. His anti business laws & unending taxes have driven off manufacturing & good paying jobs. Again, all intentionally.
Agree with the damage the Trudeau family has done to Canada. Shameful. However, it is time to pivot and face the threat to the south. Trump is actually trying to annex Canada. Manifest Destiny. Get out your guns!
Canadians have seen his abilities in this area. He has none. He is like a plumber (No offence to plumbers) trying to figure out why his heart surgeries are failing.
My prediction is parliament is forced back and Trudeau is forced to run for the Liberals. Trump is pouring on the pressure to get Trudeau out and I love him for it. Trudeau is using this to score political points. This tariff issue could be solved in 5 minutes with a phone call but Trudeau won't. He couldn't care less about what Canadians want. I'm out West and if there was an offer to join the states I would take it wholeheartedly in a split second. I've lost all faith and hope in our "constitution".
Energy Corridor from east to west from tied water to tide water. For pipelines, transmission lines, railway lines and highways is what Canada needs! Energy security and sovereignty!!!! Wake up Canadians!!!
The new PQ leader has already stated that they will never have a pipeline in their province. With that anti Canadian rhetoric, there should be a cancellation of all present and future equalization payments to Quebec.
Tariffs work which is why almost all countries on earth have tariffs &or import tax/s of some sort (& I say almost cos I might have missed a few doing my homework). Not only does it enrich the country's coffers, it also protects domestic industry. Since Trump is a 'tariff believer' as you say, best tactic is negotiation. The US economy is 10x Canada's so we know how the tariff war will go. If blame is to be assigned, try our own Canada interprovincial trade barriers. Try our own interprovincial rejection of pipelines to both coasts. Try looking at Ottawa that's been demonizing AB dirty oil & trying to kill it thru regs
Well said Brian!! I enjoy your opinion on most things - Well rounded media reporter. We have Rick Bell in Calgary but you also show good character as well.
trump is not imposing tariffs. he wants the border secured, and most of our political leaders missed the entire point and are turning this into a war. We need better.
I dont understand criticizing US policy. It's their business what policies they set. Canada can only control what happens inside Canada such as limit spending on foreign countries and wasting billions foolishly as Trudeau has.
Tell me Brian, why would Albertans and Saskatchewanians not want to become a part of the USA? They could keep their healthcare, Hawaii already has socialized medical insurance like we do. And while maybe the USA only wants their oil and gas, that is one better than Toronto, Vancouver, Quebec, and the Martimes who not only want their oil and gas, but also equalization payments.
So what happens when to Quebec and Ontario when the oil and gas from Alberta gets cut off, and all those equalization payments stop. Maybe the East should ponder that. At least the Quebec Premier has some sense and realizes that.
Ford wants to cut off hydro to the States. I may be wrong, but I suspect they pay for that. Maybe he can buy a really long extension cord from cryna and sell it to Europe?
Trudeau needs to call an election NOW and immediately back off. Call in Harper and Chrétien to lead the Premiers in negotiations with Trump. Jason Kenny to deal with 'immigration' (illegal invasion).
Why is everyone talking about tariffs and counter tariffs when all Trump said was that Canada had to fix the border or he would put tariffs on. All I hear is ‘ oh yeah if you’re going to put tariffs on we will too ‘cause we’re as tough as you and we play hockey’. Fix the border and the issue goes away.
Trudeau chucked it over to Doug Ford when he was asked a question by the press. He's acting like a slighted little man who's going to get back at those who betrayed him. That would be the whole country. Canada really never understood the special insight he brought to the job.
We in Canada would have a better chance invading the USA with our military than we would have in a trade war. It is laughable. What we should be doing is talking to the angry man, getting him to sit down and tell us what the problem is in full detail, getting agreement on what we must do and he will settle down -- in other words Canada needs to do what it does best, engage in diplomacy. And we have huge experience in diplomacy with nations more powerful than our own. That we are even threatening a trade war proves our country is a clown show. We need to battle the USA on our terms -- i.e. diplomacy. And we need to do it now, rather than in September 2025 when parliament returns after the next general election.
Trump knows that the threat keeps the pressure on 🇨🇦. We are so vulnerable until we have a election and give the Conservatives the mandate to create a functioning relationship with the USA
John Baird made the most common sense in dealing with the Americans , if interested look up what he had to say because in concerns all Canadian people !
Justin Trudeau will be shutting down the 401 hiway for the Next 3 Months to practise his parallel parking. Think Justin cares if that going to inconvenience anyone? NOPE!!! Sunny Ways For Justin Trudeau. Sunny Ways 🏄♂️⛱😎🌞💰💸🛫🛩🤡
We need to remember that the people of Alberta and Saskatchewan are catching on. They realize that the rest of Canada only wants them for their oil, gas and equalization payments, and that when Ontarioans and Quebecois say "the Americans only want you for your oil and gas" that that is a much better deal because they'd save money with no equalization payments. I mean, heck, last week I was looking at statistics for Canada by province and they grouped wealthy Saskatchewan in with impoverished have-not Manitoba -- it is typical -- Eastern Canadians in Toronto, Quebec, and also in BC have no idea, no consideration at all, for the people and the rights of people of AB and SK. The only thing AB and SK have in common with MB is they entered Confederation under the same second-class conditions, as second-class provinces.
I am in Quebec. The thing is that the separatism of this party is like carbon tax for liberals. In 2022 the same party insisted on making Quebec the greenest place in the world. The wind blows differently now and they sing another song. The amount of people who ask for money in the streets, in metro, in groceries is insane in Montreal. It has been different even two years ago. But in 2022 there were provincial elections. Five parties. They all were concerned about climate, about healthcare, about anything. Nobody was concerned about economics. “The budget will balance itself”, this is a pandemic in our politics. All my colleagues vote conservatives
Pierre should refuse to debate NDP - liberals, they’re too full of BS. Let them scratch each others eyes out, try to out virtue one another, and have a who’s more progressive debate
The leaders all FAIL to realize that any Tariffs will hurt the people on both sides of the border. I guess they've forgotten to think about us. Duuhh...
I'm partial to Trump, but has he listened to himself speak? We could fix our trade imbalance by exporting our lumber to Asia instead, and by exporting our oil & gas to Europe (like the Europeans begged us to do at the start of Russo-Ukrainian War II)? Let us get building those pipelines that the Liberal Party of Canada prevented happening. The LPC made a huge mistake leaving us with little pipeline capacity except for exporting to the USA.
Canadians should have seen this coming. Maybe not with the US, but Trudeau has been an international irritant. Teen brain that he is, I remember him insulting Trump behind his back at an international conference. Trump has been through the wringer since 2016, but things have changed a little since then and Trump isn't the type to forget. Canadians better understand this and get off the strike back mentality. Trudeau is riding high on this right now which might be why his polls seem to be improving. However, it is the road to ruin in the long run. Canada cannot afford to mix it up with the US. We'll just be swamped and maybe end up as the 51st state after all. Alberta just might lead the way too.
I have been liberal all my life, but these are not liberals. Trudeau has changed liberal party to tyranny. I will vote for common sense, which has been missing in Canada for way too long!
the US takes $100billion in oil and refines it, and makes finished products from it......making multiple of $billions more from it. Canada needs its oil and gas to make tide water, both east and west coasts. Canada needs to refine its oil and gas ,and make finished products?
Canada does refine many of your products. The refiners are Canadian owned and in the US. This is an extremely complex intertwined business. There are many tariffs that are not reflected in the price of a barrel of oil. Pipeline economics are about construction, operation, maintenance, and end of life abandonment. Most of the funding is collected as separate fees during operation. Those all become due by international agreements if operations cease. Being prorated the funds don’t exist yet. So any funding for new construction won’t exist either. It will be locked up in the courts as is the funding for Keystone right now. I believe it’s about 58 billion.
Alberta has a town named Canmore (yes, we can more than our government). Russians redirected their oil under all sanctions using the shadow fleet. Our government cannot do much and they restrict private businesses to act. This is what Russians did, they gave the initiative to business. Our government is only concerned about taxes and climate change. They would better “fight” in the UN rather than in Ottawa
I give up. I'm just going to move to America and seek naturalization. 82 percent of Canadians don't understand that dollar for dollar would bankrupt us all and the US would barely blink.

We have to face reality we need the US, Danielle Smith should head the negotiations for Canada, business not emotions
So what happens when to Quebec and Ontario when the oil and gas from Alberta gets cut off, and all those equalization payments stop. Maybe the East should ponder that. At least the Quebec Premier has some sense and realizes that.
Ford wants to cut off hydro to the States. I may be wrong, but I suspect they pay for that. Maybe he can buy a really long extension cord from cryna and sell it to Europe?
CARNAGE IS A DANGEROUS MAN, FREELUNCH is a hypocrite AND GOUGE GOULD is just sickening.
I want to separate from the east asap obviously the GG does not care about Canada either
Why on God's blue earth does chinada have a Governor General? To travel around spending MILLIONS of future debt?
Trudeau needs to call an election NOW and immediately back off. Call in Harper and Chrétien to lead the Premiers in negotiations with Trump. Jason Kenny to deal with 'immigration' (illegal invasion).
Why is everyone talking about tariffs and counter tariffs when all Trump said was that Canada had to fix the border or he would put tariffs on. All I hear is ‘ oh yeah if you’re going to put tariffs on we will too ‘cause we’re as tough as you and we play hockey’. Fix the border and the issue goes away.
We need to get rid of Doug ford. Put Roman baber in his place
Tariffs work because it forces companies that want to sell in the U.S have to build it in America.
Who do you think pays retaliatory tariffs? Us Canadians! Insane.
Trudeau chucked it over to Doug Ford when he was asked a question by the press. He's acting like a slighted little man who's going to get back at those who betrayed him. That would be the whole country. Canada really never understood the special insight he brought to the job.
The WEF, WHO, UN insight.
Yeah, Doug Ford stepped up into the Prime Minister's role the past few weeks. You've got to hit a bully right in the nose.
Cause Cowards dont want to answer
@@ronw59 I should have put it within parentheses. He's too focussed on himself to have insight into anything.
@johnburns Do you mean "quotation marks"?
Why is Trudeau putting out ads as though he’s running for PM again.
I hope Trump closes the border completely.
Its like picking a fight with a Gorilla , he asked for the banana, {boarder} and your wondering why you got beat up.
We in Canada would have a better chance invading the USA with our military than we would have in a trade war. It is laughable. What we should be doing is talking to the angry man, getting him to sit down and tell us what the problem is in full detail, getting agreement on what we must do and he will settle down -- in other words Canada needs to do what it does best, engage in diplomacy. And we have huge experience in diplomacy with nations more powerful than our own.
That we are even threatening a trade war proves our country is a clown show. We need to battle the USA on our terms -- i.e. diplomacy. And we need to do it now, rather than in September 2025 when parliament returns after the next general election.
Danielle Smith is the only patriot.
Trump knows that the threat keeps the pressure on 🇨🇦. We are so vulnerable until we have a election and give the Conservatives the mandate to create a functioning relationship with the USA
John Baird made the most common sense in dealing with the Americans , if interested look up what he had to say because in concerns all Canadian people !
Has Trudeau thought of going down to Washington to TALK to Trump? Negotiate, buy time, discuss?? Isn't that what a federal leader would do right now??
If justin shows up in the US, he won't get to see anyone--they know he's a useless idiot who is NOT a leader.
yes, negotiate, not retaliate, the man? is truly an incompetent idiot.
Justin Trudeau will be shutting down the 401 hiway for the Next 3 Months to practise his parallel parking.
Think Justin cares if that going to inconvenience anyone?
NOPE!!!
Sunny Ways For Justin Trudeau.
Sunny Ways 🏄♂️⛱😎🌞💰💸🛫🛩🤡
Trump said maybe in February. He did not say that he was going to .
A TRADE WAR IS STUPID!!! You cant stand and swap punches with an opponent who is ten times your size. Not unless you have a death wish.
We want an election now!
We need to remember that the people of Alberta and Saskatchewan are catching on. They realize that the rest of Canada only wants them for their oil, gas and equalization payments, and that when Ontarioans and Quebecois say "the Americans only want you for your oil and gas" that that is a much better deal because they'd save money with no equalization payments. I mean, heck, last week I was looking at statistics for Canada by province and they grouped wealthy Saskatchewan in with impoverished have-not Manitoba -- it is typical -- Eastern Canadians in Toronto, Quebec, and also in BC have no idea, no consideration at all, for the people and the rights of people of AB and SK.
The only thing AB and SK have in common with MB is they entered Confederation under the same second-class conditions, as second-class provinces.
Maybe the retaliatory tariffs will make housing affordable again after a massive economic downturn in Canada!
Trudum is winning by causing division getting every one upset once he gets more confusing Trudum will jump up tell Canadians I’m here to save you
How about putting a tariff on the oil coming into Canada from offshore; dirty oil that has to be refined before we can use it?
I'd like a referendum on kicking Quebec out of Canada.
don't let the door hit ya where le bon Dieu split ya
I am in Quebec. The thing is that the separatism of this party is like carbon tax for liberals. In 2022 the same party insisted on making Quebec the greenest place in the world. The wind blows differently now and they sing another song. The amount of people who ask for money in the streets, in metro, in groceries is insane in Montreal. It has been different even two years ago. But in 2022 there were provincial elections. Five parties. They all were concerned about climate, about healthcare, about anything. Nobody was concerned about economics. “The budget will balance itself”, this is a pandemic in our politics. All my colleagues vote conservatives
@@tsalt78 That's what I expected from a proud people who've taken 200 billion from Alberta oil while blocking a pipeline carrying that same oil.
Pierre should refuse to debate NDP - liberals, they’re too full of BS. Let them scratch each others eyes out, try to out virtue one another, and have a who’s more progressive debate
The leaders all FAIL to realize that any Tariffs will hurt the people on both sides of the border. I guess they've forgotten to think about us. Duuhh...
I'm partial to Trump, but has he listened to himself speak? We could fix our trade imbalance by exporting our lumber to Asia instead, and by exporting our oil & gas to Europe (like the Europeans begged us to do at the start of Russo-Ukrainian War II)? Let us get building those pipelines that the Liberal Party of Canada prevented happening. The LPC made a huge mistake leaving us with little pipeline capacity except for exporting to the USA.
I am not proud to be a Canadian. Alberta needs to succeed from this God forsaken country.
Secede...🤨
@ thank you for the spelling correction
Alberta need to be its own country
@@aj1_1aj1 Agreed! Alberta is screws of decades by free loaders from Québec
Trudeau calling election on the tables
On the stool ,
What things are changing? Are more people voting Liberal after all this? What?
Canada can easily avoid tariffs by 1/ elect Pierre 2/ secure border 3/ pay for nato 4/ produce export more oil gas
Governor General need to do her job and resolve parlement now so we can fast pedal and get the election everyone wants for 4 years.
Canadians should have seen this coming. Maybe not with the US, but Trudeau has been an international irritant. Teen brain that he is, I remember him insulting Trump behind his back at an international conference. Trump has been through the wringer since 2016, but things have changed a little since then and Trump isn't the type to forget. Canadians better understand this and get off the strike back mentality. Trudeau is riding high on this right now which might be why his polls seem to be improving. However, it is the road to ruin in the long run. Canada cannot afford to mix it up with the US. We'll just be swamped and maybe end up as the 51st state after all. Alberta just might lead the way too.
I have been liberal all my life, but these are not liberals. Trudeau has changed liberal party to tyranny. I will vote for common sense, which has been missing in Canada for way too long!
Being Canadian right now is an embarrassment
the US takes $100billion in oil and refines it, and makes finished products from it......making multiple of $billions more from it. Canada needs its oil and gas to make tide water, both east and west coasts. Canada needs to refine its oil and gas ,and make finished products?
Thanks to trudo we have no pipelines to atlantic & pacific
Canada does refine many of your products. The refiners are Canadian owned and in the US. This is an extremely complex intertwined business. There are many tariffs that are not reflected in the price of a barrel of oil. Pipeline economics are about construction, operation, maintenance, and end of life abandonment. Most of the funding is collected as separate fees during operation. Those all become due by international agreements if operations cease. Being prorated the funds don’t exist yet. So any funding for new construction won’t exist either. It will be locked up in the courts as is the funding for Keystone right now. I believe it’s about 58 billion.
Canada is one states worth of trade like California so we are not much more than a speed bump in the road.
Alberta has a town named Canmore (yes, we can more than our government). Russians redirected their oil under all sanctions using the shadow fleet. Our government cannot do much and they restrict private businesses to act. This is what Russians did, they gave the initiative to business. Our government is only concerned about taxes and climate change. They would better “fight” in the UN rather than in Ottawa
Things are changing?
Sure could use those three pipelines Trudeau cancelled with the help of Quebec Ontario and BC
Canada needs to develop other customers around the globe and not rely so much on the US.
I give up. I'm just going to move to America and seek naturalization. 82 percent of Canadians don't understand that dollar for dollar would bankrupt us all and the US would barely blink.
