Trump says the United States does not need oil, gas, vehicles, or lumber imports from his allies to the north.

Trump made the comments Thursday, in his first speech to world leaders since returning to the White House for his second term.

    I suppose Albertans in oil and gas should call Danielle and tell her to stop the clown tricks and join Team Canada now.

      That would require them to have the ability to perceive consequences in the future.

      These are the type of people that get a notoriously unstable job making 6 figures on a high school education and immediately lease a brand new $80K truck and start a coke habit because they can currently afford it.

        Yeah. That’s the Alberta legislature, but what about its citizens? They’re gonna be out of a job unless Alberta thinks of something else.

        I have an idea: do what Peter lougheed promised to do, which won the election for the cons for the first time in decades. Do that. He didn’t, and they didn’t, so maybe now? Just grab his notes.

          Maybe we should do what I’ve been suggesting over and over and over and over and over again when I lived in Alberta and BUILD REFINING CAPACITY.

          I just can’t with them…I worked with so many O&G folks back in my day. Nobody ever wanted to acknowledge our dependence and vulnerability. Just whistling loudly past graveyard after graveyard.

          they’re going to be out of a job

          Isnt that kind of their own fault, though? Aren’t they the ones that keep electing these mini brains who only care about themselves?

      “Team Canada” is bogus crap. Interprovincial trade barriers mean the cult mantra of "Team Canada is a distraction tactic from blaming the Liberal party for any tariffs and loss of jobs in Canada.

        I can’t imagine 12 of 13 premiers would agree on taking some of the heat off of any federal party, especially one that’s all but leaderless.

          Is the federal party that you are saying is leaderless? Why do you say 12 out of 13? Who are you not counting, and why?

            I’m sure you must know the answers already but clearly I’m replying to your comment and referring to the Liberals, the party whose leader has announced his resignation. And once again, it’s pretty clear Danielle Smith is the odd one out. She refused to sign off on the first ministers letter a couple weeks ago and every single other premier has been specifically quoted as supporting a team Canada approach, even Scott Moe.

              Danielle Smith’s priority is making sure Canadians keep their jobs. Tariffs on Canadian imports results in layoffs of Canadians so they are out of work, out of a job.
