I hope we all know that it doesn't matter who is in the 'top job' because this is a systemic problem -- greed. We have allowed many of our economic sectors, to take advantage of the American people. It's disgusting and frightening for the future of our country. My husband and I will be retiring in the next two years n another country. We are absolutely worried that SSI will no longer be funded. we'll have to rely on his pension, a 403 (b) and a very prolific lnvestment account with my Abby Joseph Cohen my FA. Our national debt is bloating and expanding every month. Our government needs to get spending under control and cut the federal budget.
I went from no money to lnvest with to busting my A** off on Uber eats for four months to raise about $20k to start trading with Abby Joseph Cohen. I am at $128k right now and LOVING that you have to bring this up here
It definitely does matter who gets the top job. I don't disagree with your point about systemic issues at all, but don't fall into the trap of believing it doesn't matter.
Yes it would, and thank goodness the Federal Government has the say on that issue because Trump would say jump and Danielle Smith would say let me bend over first.
So it never really had anything to do with Trumps "increase border security/eliminate the border" nonsense. They were going to impose sanctions on Canada, no matter what. I think we need to look for a new preferred trading partner.
I said exactly that same message time and time again. The world doesn't evolve around the US and the sooner dumb Don and his followers realize that the sooner they will smart n up.
People are painfully unaware about how reliant we are from trade with the US. Anyone from Alberta saying to reduce sales to the USA is asking for Alberta to go broke. What are you scared of? Speaking to Trump? Stop the irrational hate programmed into your head from the media.
Most Canadian companies are lazy. Selling to 160 countries is going to take more resources and high maintenance than just selling to the US or China ! Why do you think Walmart is so successful ? It's because sellers/buyers don't have to distribute their products to 150 other merchants to the equivalent or even less amount sales !
Your correct a deal would have to be made with BC to run the pipe through and to the shore for loading then the Federal government would have to approve of it for the moment it gets access to water areas. In the end that is even hard because Canada inner trade is the most backwards and primitive system in the world along with being the hardest. It is true that Canada sells energy to the USA below market spot price and to sell elsewhere it would cost billions to make the arrangements to setup a transport hub etc.. We would still likely have to sell at the same price to overseas customers to offset the shipping costs.

Why does the USA get a discount on our oil while our heritage fund is pathetic compared to Norway. Wake up and get top dollar for our oil and fix our heritage fund so we can lower our taxes, build more hospitals (instead of wating 18 hours in U of A emerg) and give us non-profit, right to sue insurance like BC (lowest rates in Canada). And put eye exam coverage back for kids and seniors, cutting this was absolutely pathetic.
Norway gets top dollar for their oil not 5% royalty like Alberta, WTF? Just copy the Norway model and you will make Alberta the most powerful economic force in North and South America. Our future will be secure. Why isn't this being done right now? Instead the Alberta governments are spending our heritage fund. Mr. Lougheed would be so angered at this.
Hey just a minute it is your eastern MPs that stoped all the pipelines going out of Alberta into anywhere else but the USA…get on your iwn MPs and tell them that!it left Alberta with one customer and that’s the USA!
How do you know she bowed down. Have you ever thought that Trump is impossible to deal with.... he thinks tariff will replace higher taxes. Not going to happen, US is in major debt and Israel wants the US to go to war with Iran.
So trying to mitigate the damage that Trump's Tariffs are going to do to her Province is "bowing down"? I would say she is doing what all Premiers should be doing seeing as your idols Trudeau and Singh are on holidays for the next few months while the USA's new President takes office.
that is a very very stupid comment. i just don't think any liberal today has anything cerebral to say. just jiberish. what happened to the intelligent liberal?

New government in Canada should immediately reconsider Japans, Germany etc begging for secure supply of LNG and tie in guaranteed purchases of other canada goods/resources as part of the agreement. Cannot rely on US especially in light of #diaperdonny breaking his own trade agreement.
Wait and see where Germany will go. The next party will be centre to right. Their largest trading partner used to be Russia. They had cheap energy until the leftists ruined them. An industrial giant now they are wrecked thanks to the US and UK. Oh yes their pipeline that was whacked and NOW we all know who did it. What goes around comes around.
Hey do you even know simple economics at all fossil fuels is really going anywhere get that thru your head and what diversify there economy it us already it's fossil fuel bio diversity hotel and commerce and yes even ev technology so hey it is diverse already
Being a good neighbor, the US has been accepting as consumers 80% to 90% of Canada's exports. With the American first priority, the tariff ensures US local produce becomes competitive. No tariff and easy flow of business if Canada becomes a state.
The problem is Canada broke the trade deal with the United States is by allowing Chinese products exported to the USA, we are being controlled by the Chinese government in our economy!
We need to develop our own oil and gas, buildmourmown refineries and start divesting ourselves from trade with the USA. Not totally but we have been far to lenient and selling at discounted prices.
I'd bet she went there to plead Alberta's interests, NOT Canada's! She would sell Alberta to the US if it meant being exempt from Trump's tarrifs, she is NOT concerned with Canadian's best interest...only her's.
Maybe she should have just shut the Alberta Government down for a few months and waited for Trump to decimate Canada's trade like your idols Trudeau and Singh has done.
Trade deficits? We can trade elsewhere, what choice ? The refineries which sell us back refined gas at higher cost to us what kind of trade imbalance is that?
What a team player! Preparing ourselves means a joint action not loners that looked like a child asking not to be punished. Let the adults take care of the matter.
there should be something in the constitution that prevents premiers from trying to independently negotiate national policies and trade is a national position
Hey, you Liberals are the ones who chose a leader who spent his entire term openly hostile to the province. - Don’t like Premier Smith’s actions? Too damned bad. Nobody asked your permission and there’s nothing you can do about it.
Resources are provincial. Besides, Trump hates lame duck Justin and Freeland alike. The CBC is worried about organic kale shortages. If Trump doesn't absorbed all of Canada, he'll surely lop off Alberta.
You bet - don’t spend another nickel from US defence contractors. The screwed our aerospace industry by lying to us about the need for interceptor fighters back in the days of the Avro Arrow. It was such a good plane that they didn’t want competition from Canada.
Smith says "It's not my decision to make on tariffs".....TRUE, Danielle, very true! And as a Premier of one of Canada's provinces it was also NOT your place to meet with Donald Trump. You do not represent all Canadians and you do not negotiate with foreign governments! Know you place and stay in it!
Obviously she wasted everyone's time. Why didn't O'leary pay for all the premiers to go there? I'm guessing he paid for her. But she's the king of Canada, can do whatever she wants.
Please Canadians think twice before voting Polievre Educate yourself. His with Trump and Elon just endorse Polievre and Oleiry endorse Polievre. Do not make the same mistakes like AMERICANS
@shawnferrie6990 You all wanted him out...he resigns and still complaining. Sort of like the orange cult down south...they lose they complain...they win they complain.
If 25% tariffs are imposed on Canada... simply raise the price of gas & oil by an equivalent amount. You can' have the dumpster pick and choose what he wants. Get a spine!.
No you easterners get a spine…why the hell should Alberta carry the load!…put tariffs on ketchup that you make and all those auto parts that you make and those electric cars that you cannot sell …put tariffs on the dairy coming out of Quebec into the states ..stop expecting Alberta to carry the load while the east dies nothing but vote in useless MPs that do great harm to our economy!
@@gregrogers4376 You guys been whining about leaving worse than Quebec for years now. BC on the other hand. We are proudly Canadian, and will always be.
So once again Alberta’s single source income generated (oil) is threatened. The leaders of that province have been knuckles head, where’s the diversification in GDP.
There is very little diversity in the Canadian economy. It's largely been resources for decades. Nearly all high tech industry in Alberta relies on the success of the resource sector. Thinking otherwise is ignorance of reality.
@ reality is look at gdp for ontario. Reality is Alberta is 25% directly reliant on oil., let alone indirectly. Please look back 30 year historicals of Alberta’s economy and you ‘ll see a pattern of boom or bust not seen with other provinces. When the middle east decides its in their best interest in increase supply….. yeah those are the dips in economy in alberta.
Are you Trump's mouthpiece now??...go down to Mar-a-Lago, ass kiss, get the scoop, come back and do the minion work for Trump here in the "51st state"? You make Canadians barf.
Who the hell else is trying to save the Canadian and Alberta government? Our feds are shut down, leaderless, and also cratered Alberta's economy domestically let alone internationally. You'd do NOTHING while watching our Country fall apart. Trump is the American President as of Jan 20th. Get used to it. You can't stick your head in the sand and ignore him. Get over your irrational TDS.
She thinks she is prime minister. And at the drop of a hat will sacrifice the interests of Canada to spare Alberta. She says nothing about Alberta doing their fair share in countermeasures.
No she does not. She has to do something because our Feds are doing nothing. We don't have a functional federal government until late March at the earliest. Clearly only programmed leftists views post here. She's a premiere doing her job to protect Alberta's economy.
Someone should tell Danielle Smith to put a cap on rents in Alberta. My daughter suffered with an extra $100 rent raise a month last year and this year an extra $150 a month raise. PUT A CAP ON!!
She represents ALBERTA. You aren't interpreting clearly. Alberta hasn't had representation in Ottawa for 10 years. Trudeau ignored our traditions of voting our representation in and stacked far left representation that hates Alberta. Trudeau shamed Canada during his visit to see Trump, and does not stick up for anyone outside of his political bubble. Apparently, the rest of Canada is fine with Albertans suffering while we still have to pay out to other provinces to keep them afloat.
its her ego. she thought she could make a difference, but she has no sway over her hero Trump. USA inflation is gonna go to the moon and the USA economy will be destroyed. US 10 treasury rates are already signaling what is to come for the USA. As countries around the world retaliate against the US tariffs, watch US inflation spike like never before. Economic disaster for USA, trump style.
@@Demane69 I don't understand people who are critical of her. She never said she represents the whole Canada but she definitely acts on behalf of Alberta in this case. What do people want her to do? What any other Premier would do? Sometimes, I ask myself a question: what would Peter Lockheed say and do?
They said that,wrote him off twice,as a result,got in twice... besides,he has no sense of humour. He's the guy that when you get huffy about what he said,he says just joking(but you know better)
Trump never jokes, this is just a distraction tactic, keep all the media focused on this lunacy instead of asking Republicans questions that they don't want to answer and that actually matter to Americans.
I am gobsmacked to hear Danielle Smith talking like a Canadian (I'm from Alberta and vote NDP )Add an export tax on resources to the US, including Aluminum Uranium, and Oil, and his buddies in Texas will fight to pay low prices. Trump will negotiate for Russian oil.
Maybe it’s time for Alberta to start thinking about diversifying their economy. Fossil fuel based economy’s are under threat,as the planet continues to transition to renewables. We can’t keep saturating our air sheds with carbon and methane and expect to pass off a stable planet to our children and grandchildren.
OMG don't you think we've been trying to get Conservative Governments to do that for decades? But like all Cons they never listen to facts and evidence and just rule by their stupid ideology. There are millions of Albertans who can't stand what this incompetent Priemer is doing, she is wasting millions of dollars on ads for an Alberta Pension Plan that over 85% of Albertans don't want, she's wasting money on a Provincial police force that no one wants, all she does is waste money and this trip to Trump's garbage resort is just another thing that we have to deal with. If Smith had her way she would bend over for Trump whenever he asked, but the vast majority of Albertans will stand up to that fool, whether she likes it or not.
Another example of somebody sitting on their big Alberta throne going down to try and appease trump, he's laughing. Stay home, unify as a country or have you forgot we're a country!
She has had sone great things to say.. But her going there was a huge mistake made us look desperate unprofessional WTF your already giving away our resources what were you hoping to get him to get it cheaper and say ok 20% not 25% it wasn’t your place…
Trump didn't have a clue who she was and has no idea where Alberta is and he couldn't give a rat's ass what Danielle has to say about tariffs. In fact her kissing ass down at Mar-a-Lago makes it more likely Trump will impose tariffs.
Trump has already gave a solution: merge with the USA. This could lead to lower taxes, more job opportunities, increased income, and an overall improved quality of life. Don't call her traitor.
Thats what you get for trying to do it alone. Trump wants Canada divided it makes Canada look weak, so going there was a bad idea. Smith was only trying to make her own deals. Trump will walk all over you and the people of Alberta. The old saying "united we stand divided we fall" is the only way to deal with Trump So Danielle get on board and stop trying to be a hero or making your own back room deals.
To hell your "United we stand" crap. You eastern parasites always play this "one-big-happy-family" garbage every time you want screw Alberta. *YOU* elected Trudeau 3 times. Enough said. We'll make our own deals. The fact that Premier Smith is invited to Mara-lago and the inauguration and Trudeau isn't or any other premier speaks volumes. Don't like it? Too bad. We aren't asking for your permission.
Is there really a trade imbalance? The trade deficit with the U.S. is far smaller than many people think, in part because many services provided by U.S. companies are not counted. When you see ads on Google or on Meta, that is a form of export, and it does not show up on the services trade.” Another example is that some of the fee for every Uber ride goes toward the driver, but some flows back to the parent company in the U.S. The U.S. has a huge trade surplus in services that Trump just ignores.
Tell us something we don't know Smith. And when the Federal Government says we turn off the taps for oil and gas to the US that is what we do because Albertans won't put up with insults from that fiend. And that visit to Trump better not be at the Alberta Taxpayers expense.
Words, words, words...Lets have a serious conversation about *Premier Smith* inviting the 50 American States to become Provinces, and create a great new country that blends the best of our shared values for both our great nations as... . ***NEW CANADA!*** Lets have a serious conversation about a new nation with 60 Provinces, 3 Territories, and a great new Capitol City, right in the geographical heart of *Turtle Island.* *Home of the 2025 Stanley Cup...* . ***WINNIPEG!**** When America is willing to trade their *Walleye for our Pickerel,* we can get that serious conversation, started.
all tariffs will do is increase the cost of gas and oil for Americans. Alberta has secured up it border as much as it can, now the ball is in the American court?
Is the purpose of these tariffs to apply economic force to persuade Canada to willingly be annexed? Or is it to stop the Canadian drug cartels from out pricing the American drug cartels? Either way, Canada should respond by expelling the US ambassador.
Thanks. Let Alberta go broke and it's people starve. You live in a fictional world in your own mind. You actually think politicians shouldn't talk and make deals? Who programmed this into you?
Alberta joining the U.S. could bring economic benefits like access to a larger market, favorable regulations for its oil and gas sector, and lower taxes. It would also gain fiscal autonomy, better infrastructure, and stronger global trade opportunities, supported by a stable U.S. dollar. On the other hand, Quebec’s independence could allow it to fully control its language, culture, and policies, fostering economic growth in sectors like aerospace and technology. As a sovereign state, Quebec could negotiate trade deals tailored to its needs, manage resources independently, and build stronger international relationships, securing its place globally while boosting its economy.
What did Danielle Smith's visit to Mar-a-Lago accomplish besides revealing Conservative Party's desperation to rule Canada even if they sell Canadian sovereignty for it?
What did Danielle Smith's visit to Mar-a-Lago accomplish besides revealing Conservative Party's desperation to rule Canada even if they sell Canadian sovereignty for it If you had the proper education, you would have realized that there is a reason actual countries have a ministry of foreign affairs! Canada is now a Banana Republic where every premier and mayor gets to do their own wheeling and dealing with other countries.
Who pays the tariffs? Can the experts explain the tariff calculations line by line, who pays what, and who receives what .... that can ease off the thousands of confusions and questions in everyone's mind.
She forgot to mention that it's because she visited Trump that the tariffs will be imposed to Canada. If she had minded her own business, which is Alberta, we had a chance to got out of this.
How is it ok to step out of boundaries and job-scope disregarding all manners and etiquette like Danielle Smith just did as if Canada was a banana republic? There is a reason countries have a ministry of foreign affairs!
Yes, and according to the many crazy replies here, we should NOT speak to the USA at all ... because Trump. TDS is real. We had 10 years of federal leadership that lived inside of a bubble and destroyed Canada, and Edmonton Journal readers apparently want to continue this destructive course.
Weak management! I am disappointed we can handle negotiations! Lack of skills! Lack of negotiation skills ! Lack if strategic vision ! Lack of presenting Canada as a strong country financially and we will not be cowards in handling this! We need strong representatives not weak leaders
I am a Smith but hell no relationship to this person. She may be the darling of the Alberta UPC maga crowd but makes the rest of the country cringe. You are not a a supporter of Trudeau to have this view of her. To invite a person like Tucker Carlson up for a fireside chat with the likes of a white nationalist, racist lover of Putin should tell you a lot The thousand of Albertans and Canadians of Ukraine heritage should have been angry and upset. Your giving someone an audience who supports someone who may be killing a relative. Former premier Peter lougheed would be rolling over in his grave at such disgusting behaviour. I do think that she will ultimately sell off Canadians to appease diaper Don. They need energy from Alberta more than any other exports.
They absolutely need our energy and Alberta will be glad to help them and the rest of thieving Canada can go fk themselves…you can get help from Quebec …you know the LAURENTEIN elites that love all that free money Alberta has to hand them every year!

So what we give it right back to Trump we export a lot to USA In my house there are very few things made in America
Obviously she wasted everyone's time. Why didn't O'leary pay for all the premiers to go there? I'm guessing he paid for her. But she's the king of Canada, can do whatever she wants.
Then we need put tariffs on our goods.
Please Canadians think twice before voting Polievre
Educate yourself. His with Trump and Elon just endorse Polievre and Oleiry endorse Polievre. Do not make the same mistakes like AMERICANS
And that’s exactly why this 🇨🇦 is voting for him👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Is in a hotel room you stupid whiny fuck!
Phone your husband and listen for the phone to ring bedside.
She was next to Donald
Trumps right beside her just out of view on the left.She did her best.
It doesn't have the ability to lead anything.
She would give us to Trump if given the opportunity...just another maplemaga.
She'd give her ass up to anyone who slaps her head with a bible.
Wow i like that one..one of my best!
exactly!
Yeah it is a much better plan to go on holiday for a few months while Trump installs the tariffs. Thanks Trudeau Singh
@shawnferrie6990 You all wanted him out...he resigns and still complaining. Sort of like the orange cult down south...they lose they complain...they win they complain.
If 25% tariffs are imposed on Canada... simply raise the price of gas & oil by an equivalent amount. You can' have the dumpster pick and choose what he wants. Get a spine!.
No you easterners get a spine…why the hell should Alberta carry the load!…put tariffs on ketchup that you make and all those auto parts that you make and those electric cars that you cannot sell …put tariffs on the dairy coming out of Quebec into the states ..stop expecting Alberta to carry the load while the east dies nothing but vote in useless MPs that do great harm to our economy!
Let's trade Alberta for California.
A lot of Albertans would LOVE such a trade. (It gets us out of this stupid country).
@@gregrogers4376 You guys been whining about leaving worse than Quebec for years now. BC on the other hand. We are proudly Canadian, and will always be.
So once again Alberta’s single source income generated (oil) is threatened. The leaders of that province have been knuckles head, where’s the diversification in GDP.
There is very little diversity in the Canadian economy. It's largely been resources for decades. Nearly all high tech industry in Alberta relies on the success of the resource sector. Thinking otherwise is ignorance of reality.
@ reality is look at gdp for ontario. Reality is Alberta is 25% directly reliant on oil., let alone indirectly. Please look back 30 year historicals of Alberta’s economy and you ‘ll see a pattern of boom or bust not seen with other provinces. When the middle east decides its in their best interest in increase supply….. yeah those are the dips in economy in alberta.
Alberta is going to sell out to Trump.
Oh, because the Canadian Federal Government has treated us better? Fuck off.
she sure is,but the federal gov can tax it anyways
One could wish that but sadly no, that wont happen. Canada needs Alberta to fund Quebec.
that is quite the stupid comment.
Traitors
From the moment Trump decided to run for election in the United States you suppose to be prepared for that because, you know his policy and strategy.
Are you Trump's mouthpiece now??...go down to Mar-a-Lago, ass kiss, get the scoop, come back and do the minion work for Trump here in the "51st state"? You make Canadians barf.
Premier Smith should just move to the USA and see how wonderful it isn't!
And take PP and Keven oleiri with her and forget their way back.
Who the hell else is trying to save the Canadian and Alberta government? Our feds are shut down, leaderless, and also cratered Alberta's economy domestically let alone internationally. You'd do NOTHING while watching our Country fall apart. Trump is the American President as of Jan 20th. Get used to it. You can't stick your head in the sand and ignore him. Get over your irrational TDS.
She went suckholing to the sexual predator trump and it didn't help. Trump doesn't give a fuck about Canada or Alberta
Why were you in Florida sucking up to the Orange menace.do better
She thinks she is prime minister. And at the drop of a hat will sacrifice the interests of Canada to spare Alberta. She says nothing about Alberta doing their fair share in countermeasures.
No she does not. She has to do something because our Feds are doing nothing. We don't have a functional federal government until late March at the earliest. Clearly only programmed leftists views post here. She's a premiere doing her job to protect Alberta's economy.
she should be fighting for Alberta not bowing down to trump. Another tell revealed by Smith.
Shes going to Trump's inauguration allegedly who is paying for that.
The same people who pay your welfare cheque.
You’re welcome.
Make that cow hitch hike down there and save Canadian tax payers a bunch of money.
She was there with Kevin O'Leary too. Bootlicking the rich. I seen someone call her Maple MAGA. 😂. Shes insane.
@SMOOVKILL1 Yup...maplemaga indeed. She would sell us the the orange buffoon in a second if she could.
Someone should tell Danielle Smith to put a cap on rents in Alberta. My daughter suffered with an extra $100 rent raise a month last year and this year an extra $150 a month raise. PUT A CAP ON!!
You do realize she'd a conservative don't you?
No one cares about your daughter
Tell your daughter to work the streets
@@xena4894 lol. Cry mommy
You realize that she’s a fascist and hates working people.?
We had a useless leader for who couldn't negotiate himself out of a paper bag. Now everyone has to scramble to resolve this.
Danielle when you were betraying your country did you swallow?? Just asking for all Canadian Patriots😎
She did not go to Mar-a-lago to kneel to Trump for Canada, she did it for BIG OIL.
Smith is not representing Canada, her trump visit was unpatriotic and divisive
She represents ALBERTA. You aren't interpreting clearly. Alberta hasn't had representation in Ottawa for 10 years. Trudeau ignored our traditions of voting our representation in and stacked far left representation that hates Alberta. Trudeau shamed Canada during his visit to see Trump, and does not stick up for anyone outside of his political bubble. Apparently, the rest of Canada is fine with Albertans suffering while we still have to pay out to other provinces to keep them afloat.
its her ego. she thought she could make a difference, but she has no sway over her hero Trump. USA inflation is gonna go to the moon and the USA economy will be destroyed. US 10 treasury rates are already signaling what is to come for the USA. As countries around the world retaliate against the US tariffs, watch US inflation spike like never before. Economic disaster for USA, trump style.
Unpatriotic and divisive ! lmao!
@@Demane69 So much for your little rant, the tariffs are still on, so, what exactly has she accomplished for Canada by her pilgrimages?
@@Demane69 I don't understand people who are critical of her. She never said she represents the whole Canada but she definitely acts on behalf of Alberta in this case. What do people want her to do? What any other Premier would do? Sometimes, I ask myself a question: what would Peter Lockheed say and do?
many politicians, right and left, Conservatives and Liberals believed : Trump was joking. or something like jokes made by friends.
They said that,wrote him off twice,as a result,got in twice... besides,he has no sense of humour. He's the guy that when you get huffy about what he said,he says just joking(but you know better)
BS
Trump never jokes, this is just a distraction tactic, keep all the media focused on this lunacy instead of asking Republicans questions that they don't want to answer and that actually matter to Americans.
This is the biggest mistake Alberta and its parents ever made. A Traitor
Which is why Danielle Smith needs to be charged with Treason and given a life sentence.
She went down to kiss the ring.
That's not all she was kissing.
I am gobsmacked to hear Danielle Smith talking like a Canadian (I'm from Alberta and vote NDP )Add an export tax on resources to the US, including Aluminum Uranium, and Oil, and his buddies in Texas will fight to pay low prices. Trump will negotiate for Russian oil.
It didn't work for Russia why would it work for us? Additionally, the Russians lost their markets forever. TAX!!!
A traitor and shill
Premier Smith did you have a glass of kool-aid down there
can the federal governemnt ovrerride her?
Maybe it’s time for Alberta to start thinking about diversifying their economy.
Fossil fuel based economy’s are under threat,as the planet continues to transition to renewables.
We can’t keep saturating our air sheds with carbon and methane and expect to pass off a stable planet to our children and grandchildren.
Well said.
She's kicked alternative energy to the curb; she has no vision.
Thank you for your simplistic opinion. Canada needs more Smiths and less limp wristed socialists.
OMG don't you think we've been trying to get Conservative Governments to do that for decades? But like all Cons they never listen to facts and evidence and just rule by their stupid ideology. There are millions of Albertans who can't stand what this incompetent Priemer is doing, she is wasting millions of dollars on ads for an Alberta Pension Plan that over 85% of Albertans don't want, she's wasting money on a Provincial police force that no one wants, all she does is waste money and this trip to Trump's garbage resort is just another thing that we have to deal with. If Smith had her way she would bend over for Trump whenever he asked, but the vast majority of Albertans will stand up to that fool, whether she likes it or not.
Another example of somebody sitting on their big Alberta throne going down to try and appease trump, he's laughing. Stay home, unify as a country or have you forgot we're a country!
She has had sone great things to say.. But her going there was a huge mistake made us look desperate unprofessional WTF your already giving away our resources what were you hoping to get him to get it cheaper and say ok 20% not 25% it wasn’t your place…
USELESS SUPPOSEDLY "LEADER"
Danielle Smith is a traitor.
Yup, our very first prostitute premiere.
Why is that? I'll wait
@@ColdHardToronto She has micro-plastics cavorting with her brain cell. See the four reasons above to begin with.
Balderdash
Flew down to kiss Orange Muppet ass as fast and hard as she could...makes one wonder how much money she's getting from Putin too.@@ColdHardToronto
This Harpy will sell Alberta out, she's dying to be Texas.
Trump didn't have a clue who she was and has no idea where Alberta is and he couldn't give a rat's ass what Danielle has to say about tariffs. In fact her kissing ass down at Mar-a-Lago makes it more likely Trump will impose tariffs.
You, Smith, could have tried to stop the tariffs, but you didn't. You are a traitor.
Trump has already gave a solution: merge with the USA. This could lead to lower taxes, more job opportunities, increased income, and an overall improved quality of life. Don't call her traitor.
Lol. Okay genius
Smith, the special aterney? He has nothing to do with that. Stupid Americans elect this criminal.
She isn't the Prime Minister, you idiot!
She probably went down to negotiate a no tariff deal for Alberta Oil and screw the rest of the country ..
Canada is up to their nose tide up with USA trades, you can be prepared, just embrace it.
Thats what you get for trying to do it alone. Trump wants Canada divided it makes Canada look weak, so going there was a bad idea. Smith was only trying to make her own deals. Trump will walk all over you and the people of Alberta. The old saying "united we stand divided we fall" is the only way to deal with Trump So Danielle get on board and stop trying to be a hero or making your own back room deals.
To hell your "United we stand" crap.
You eastern parasites always play this "one-big-happy-family" garbage every time you want screw Alberta.
*YOU* elected Trudeau 3 times. Enough said. We'll make our own deals.
The fact that Premier Smith is invited to Mara-lago and the inauguration and Trudeau isn't or any other premier speaks volumes. Don't like it? Too bad. We aren't asking for your permission.
Is there really a trade imbalance?
The trade deficit with the U.S. is far smaller than many people think, in part because many services provided by U.S. companies are not counted.
When you see ads on Google or on Meta, that is a form of export, and it does not show up on the services trade.”
Another example is that some of the fee for every Uber ride goes toward the driver, but some flows back to the parent company in the U.S.
The U.S. has a huge trade surplus in services that Trump just ignores.
Tell us something we don't know Smith. And when the Federal Government says we turn off the taps for oil and gas to the US that is what we do because Albertans won't put up with insults from that fiend. And that visit to Trump better not be at the Alberta Taxpayers expense.
Speak for yourself as a real albertan I say fk off Canada!
Words, words, words...Lets have a serious conversation about *Premier Smith* inviting the 50 American States to become Provinces, and create a great new country that blends the best of our shared values for both our great nations as...
. ***NEW CANADA!***
Lets have a serious conversation about a new nation with 60 Provinces, 3 Territories, and a great new Capitol City, right in the geographical heart of *Turtle Island.*
*Home of the 2025 Stanley Cup...*
. ***WINNIPEG!****
When America is willing to trade their *Walleye for our Pickerel,*
we can get that serious conversation, started.
For far too long we have been ''A Notion'' and not ''A Nation''. Now we are paying the price. Bleeding heart Liberal Canada is getting spanked.
@randyjohnston-x9h: did you lube up before bending over and grabbing your ankles?
all tariffs will do is increase the cost of gas and oil for Americans. Alberta has secured up it border as much as it can, now the ball is in the American court?
Is the purpose of these tariffs to apply economic force to persuade Canada to willingly be annexed? Or is it to stop the Canadian drug cartels from out pricing the American drug cartels? Either way, Canada should respond by expelling the US ambassador.
Traitor
Then she should do her job and turn off the damn oil do not send it to them
Thanks. Let Alberta go broke and it's people starve. You live in a fictional world in your own mind. You actually think politicians shouldn't talk and make deals? Who programmed this into you?
Put Jean Chretien on the line right now. Chretien has delt with clowns before.
It will be very Interesting to see if they will have benefits for Canadians to buy cheaper products
Alberta joining the U.S. could bring economic benefits like access to a larger market, favorable regulations for its oil and gas sector, and lower taxes. It would also gain fiscal autonomy, better infrastructure, and stronger global trade opportunities, supported by a stable U.S. dollar. On the other hand, Quebec’s independence could allow it to fully control its language, culture, and policies, fostering economic growth in sectors like aerospace and technology. As a sovereign state, Quebec could negotiate trade deals tailored to its needs, manage resources independently, and build stronger international relationships, securing its place globally while boosting its economy.
What did Danielle Smith's visit to Mar-a-Lago accomplish besides revealing Conservative Party's desperation to rule Canada even if they sell Canadian sovereignty for it?

If you had the proper education, you would have realized that there is a reason actual countries have a ministry of foreign affairs!
Canada is now a Banana Republic where every premier and mayor gets to do their own wheeling and dealing with other countries.
Who pays the tariffs? Can the experts explain the tariff calculations line by line, who pays what, and who receives what .... that can ease off the thousands of confusions and questions in everyone's mind.
❤❤THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR THE BEST CHRISTMAS EVER 🎄 ❤ 🇺🇸💯👍!!!!WE LOVE YOU ❤!!!!!!!
Stay in bed, Go to sleep, That's how Canadians save money. ,Can t afford to have a good day, I'm Hungry 😢
Could this help Canada become more self sufficient?
She forgot to mention that it's because she visited Trump that the tariffs will be imposed to Canada. If she had minded her own business, which is Alberta, we had a chance to got out of this.
Hey Smith..you are the Canadian Maga. Make Alberta Great Again.. your a Trump bozo
Stunned crunt smith.
Aren't there rules against tariffing "allies"
So who says Canada is an ally?
Canada does LESS than the bare minimum possible.
How is it ok to step out of boundaries and job-scope disregarding all manners and etiquette like Danielle Smith just did as if Canada was a banana republic?
There is a reason countries have a ministry of foreign affairs!
Sounds like he negotiated a sweet deal with the new Jasper Wallmart travel lodge/outfitter multiplex.
Tariffs at 25 percent would be extremely damaging to the canadian economy
Yes, and according to the many crazy replies here, we should NOT speak to the USA at all ... because Trump. TDS is real. We had 10 years of federal leadership that lived inside of a bubble and destroyed Canada, and Edmonton Journal readers apparently want to continue this destructive course.
"As Canadians Stomachs Churn" starring Danielle s'Pith & KKevy o'Dreary. 🤢🤢🤮

Weak management! I am disappointed we can handle negotiations! Lack of skills! Lack of negotiation skills ! Lack if strategic vision ! Lack of presenting Canada as a strong country financially and we will not be cowards in handling this! We need strong representatives not weak leaders
If trump put 25%tariffs on everything….us inflation would go thru the roof.
Turn of the Alberta oil tap.
I am a Smith but hell no relationship to this person. She may be the darling of the Alberta UPC maga crowd but makes the rest of the country cringe. You are not a a supporter of Trudeau to have this view of her. To invite a person like Tucker Carlson up for a fireside chat with the likes of a white nationalist, racist lover of Putin should tell you a lot The thousand of Albertans and Canadians of Ukraine heritage should have been angry and upset. Your giving someone an audience who supports someone who may be killing a relative. Former premier Peter lougheed would be rolling over in his grave at such disgusting behaviour. I do think that she will ultimately sell off Canadians to appease diaper Don. They need energy from Alberta more than any other exports.
They absolutely need our energy and Alberta will be glad to help them and the rest of thieving Canada can go fk themselves…you can get help from Quebec …you know the LAURENTEIN elites that love all that free money Alberta has to hand them every year!
Justin said that there were mechanisms in place to prevent this though hahaha
This expansion of the American empire into Canada Panama and Greenland makes me think of what Palestinians dealing with even more.
