Alberta Premier Danielle Smith gave a lengthy response as to why Canada should not put export taxes on Oil, saying "I cannot think of a more disastrous policy decision than cutting off or taxing Alberta's oil to the United States, doing so would absolutely devastate the Canadian economy."

@RGAME2 And she’s 1000% correct. Adult in the room. Shocking 🙄

Somethings are more important than oil like our sovereignty. She was always on team Trump

Except America can't get that much oil from Venezuela and the traitor knows it. Their infrastructure needs billions to be repaired and probably a decade. The US would also have to bring it in by tanker. We have a pipeline. Is she that fucking stupid? There's a reason Trump left tariffs off energy. @ABDanielleSmith

This was a big nothing-burger of rehashed rhetoric and warmed-over demagoguery. Smith continues to frame the issue in extremes: completely shutting down oil and gas production or taking other drastic action against our largest trading partner. Those are not the serious alternatives actually on offer. She is constructing a bogus rhetorical straw man so that she can ‘sound reasonable’ in contrast to supposedly radical positions that scarcely exist in the real debate. This is a familiar Smith communications method: manufacture an extreme alternative, then position herself as the voice of moderation (even if, in reality, her agenda may be anything but).

She may have a BA in Economics, but when she applies it in the fashion she’s doing now, she’s full of shit. The O&G industry doesn’t employ 100,000 of people in Alberta, and revenue from the industry doesn’t go to Albertans, it goes to private companies, many are US owned.

STFU. She's probably the sharpest politico in the country. Accept it.

She is awful, and a sham of an Canadian. Fine if she didn’t want to use oil, that was the nuclear option anyway. But that she can’t even do something symbolic, like Moe tarrifing US alcohol, is pathetic.

Her and Moe are not team Canada, even after Carney made deals to help both of their provinces.

“buy” Venezuelan oil lol

She’s so clueless. The weakest link in the federation

😂 The CEO and executive bonuses would be devastated. Emissions might go down, which would be tragic.

One of the few voices, along with Scott Moe, still with common sense in Canada. The boomers and lost left will destroy this country. They are filled with so much hatred for a group who claims compassion. They blanket common Americans based on a temporary leader.

Wow, that’s some crystal ball she has there… Fearmongering Canadians so that Trump doesn’t have to.

Such bullshit…she was bragging about how Venezuela was decades out from being a serious oil threat now suddenly they are ready to go. This is just about her and he coffers.

@nspector4 This is just one more reason why Alberta MUST become independent! Look at these asshats trying to destroy Alberta economy because their master negotiator can’t make a deal! Dont worry though, Carney is off to the EU and moving on.

So turn off the taps is fine to the rest of canada but not america.......yeap shes a seppie

No surprise. She's always worked for american owned oil companies. She's not much of a canada fan. That's where most of the american money is going. She barely scraped by last election. This time, she's done.

Weakest link in team Canada

Canada Pension Plan put our money on green energy. We are going to lose in any direction now and we have already lost much to EV battery and green schemes where they just left and took all the tax dollars.

Can you believe she had to explain this FACT to Doug Ford?? Is this really the level of stupidity that our politicians and the average Canadian functions at. And the MSM cheering Ford on in his tirade yesterday is embarrassing.

Make her lose her job.

Lets find out and see. Venezuelan oil how will they ship it as the refining capability is not there and would require years and billions to build as was all destroyed or not functioning. No US company wanted to go into Venezuela. She is a traitor and not her decision.

she's right. we have no way to deliver CANADIAN oil through CANADA to Quebec AND Ontario.

Leave up to DS to give us the most dramatic, worse case scenario imaginable, sprinkle in some fibs, in the most condescending way possible.

smith is saying it's okay if the rest of canada is negatively affected by trumps tariffs we can't help them and by the way how about that pipeline for alberta that'll make me like canada but i still won't help them by the way alberta and oil companies are making a killing now

Thank gawd there are two adults left....

Why fear monger about something that has zero chance of happening,

US is already stealing Venezuela's oil.

The US, despite appropriating Venezuelan oil, hasn’t purchased one barrel less from Canada. They are also depleting their strategic reserve. That says they need Canadian crude for their refineries despite tRump’s rhetoric. Put export taxes on it. tRump will bitch but he will buy.

Traitor to Canada!!!

Canada is far from needing to pull that trigger soon. Lets all be adults.

Other than her being a lying, corrupt grifting cunt glossing over the reality of Venezuelan oil≠Canadian crude, thus needing US plants to retool, and 🇻🇪 oil requires crossing an ocean AND 🇻🇪 infrastructure is 💩… the rest is solid.

I hate her

And she’s right, now go tell your bff MC.
