Danielle Smith and the UCP are treasonous pieces of garbage.

[CdnFox]

Oh look @DUI_Offender,,  guess who just agreed with everything smith has been saying.... one of the most left wing politicians in Alberta  

So much for your idea that its "just smith".

Well the Government has not restricted energy sales to the United States, especially from Alberta. In fact, American companies own a very significant chunk of the Canadian oil sands.

And all smith said was that she wouldn't support that and if they're going to leave that on the table then she's not going to sign on. 

For which you called her a traitor. And now suddenly change your tune and say it's quite reasonable  LOLOL

She is a traitor. By definition, traitors side with the adversaries of their respective countries. Smith will be long in the same category as Vidkun Quisling, Benedict Arnold, Viktor Yanukovych, Pierre Laval, Charles I, Louis XVI, Judas, and others, as some of the greatest traitors in history.  I hope she will be dealt with accordingly, when all is said and done.

Nonsense. If that were the case Justin Trudeau would be a traitor for sending china masks and other gear during the pandemic. Biden would be a traitor for negotiating with Hamas for a ceasefire.

There's no shortage of things that you say which are kind of dumb, but that one is at least in the top 10   Negotiating with a potentially hostile government to look for a resolution to a conflict is literally the definition of a politician's job as a leader. It happens every day and it's supposed to happen

The difference here is she believes that the government's approach is wrong and she believes that it will cause a great deal of harm to her province and she would like to see a different method that winds up with a better result or at least one that she believes will wind up with a better result. She has open chains of communication and negotiation with the opponent and is seeking what is essentially the economic version of a ceasefire.

To call that being a traitor is just asinine. This is why it's so hard to take the left seriously anymore, you guys come up with stupid comments like this. You could criticize her approach and explain why you feel it's not effective. You could criticize an individual premier like her or Doug Ford chiming in instead of letting the feds handle it and explain why you feel that is a thing. You could even claim that's for some reason you don't feel she has a mandate from the people to negotiate with the Americans although that's a pretty tough road a hoe

But no. Instead of any legitimate discussion you go on with an absolutely blatantly childish claim that anyone with a quarter of a brain can shoot down in 3 seconds.

I don't know why you feel the need to lie, but you're not helping your case and there are other legitimate things you could be discussing in the form of criticisms

Alberta is per capita the wealthiest province in the country with the highest standard of living, lowest unemployment and lowest taxes so stop playing the victim all the time. 

BC basically gets nothing from the TMX except 90% of the environmental risk yet despite our NDP government's resistance, a majority of British Columbians were in favour of building it.

The unemployment rate in Alberta is arguably the highest in Canada now. Standard of living is also debatable.

I stand corrected but it is lower than several provinces including Ontario.

Perhaps Smith shouldn’t have done all that advertising trying to get people to move to Alberta for the “Alberta Advantage”.

Yes, Edmonton I believe, was ahead of Calgary and Toronto at one point. 7.8% along with Calgary 7.9% is the highest rates Alberta has experienced in a year not related to a recession or COVID in 30 years. Toronto is roughly the same. Seems Saskatoon is a good place to go, with a 5.1%  unemployment rate.

 

These rates could double, depending on if Trump follows through with the tariff threat.

Alberta has had historically much lower unemployment rates than Canada.

Which is literally the first time Alberta has been that way in 30 year period. Danielle Smith is going to run Alberta into the ground.

As the oil industry goes, so goes Alberta. And if you haven't noticed, we have a government in Ottawa that has been doing its best to strangle the oil industry for the last ten years. As a result, foreign investment has fled as international investors find more business friendly nations to invest in.

Smith going to Mara Lago shows weakness and division. Guys like Trump thrive on that.

So you're saying he's right and you're wrong? 

He is correct that alberta is no where near the top of the unemployment rate per province. And yes it's usually fairly low. Doesn't that prove HIS point?

[herbie]

Oh FFS if Trump actually wanted to help US consumers, he'd reverse the decision and restart Keystone XL. That would do more for Alberta than anything else, and further play into our dependence on the USA. The guy's a typical US Corporate thinker, can't see beyond the next fiscal quarter. Rather tries for the Gulf War of economic wars, wants to shock and awe us.

But he's too damn stupid and it wouldn't play well into his bullshit line that their trade deficit is a subsidy of Canada.

You should tell him. I'm sure he will listen to your financial advice. After all, you ARE the man who tripled the value of his home with a credit card 🙄🙄😆

In his 20s, he was wayward, with a bad alcohol addiction. 

Assaults, DUIs, writing bad cheques...

Then he changed. He went to AA, got a black belt in Jiu Jitsu, and is a hero to  the working class.

Conservatives like PP would literally urinate his pants,  if Wab looked at him the wrong way.

Well joking aside good for him. But a crap man who made himself a little better is still not as good as man who knew to be good all his life. 

As much as a redemption arc is always good entertainment it doesn't make someone better than someone who was strong enough to be good all along.

You mean he'd pee on him   Possibly

Wab will never be PP quality and he's aware of that. Which is fine, as i said it's laudable enough that he pulled himself up out of the gutter to at least  a modicum of decency (as far as we know). But PP has improved himself just as much, he just didn't wait till he was in the gutter to do it so now he's on another level.
