Of course you took it out of context and tried to pretend it was some sort of general statement of capitulation.

NAME REMOVED Posted January 17 Author Report Posted January 17 The bottom line: Smith went to Washington, met with many MAGA higher-ups, and with Kevin O'Leary, tried to appeal to Trump, in hopes of having the proposed 25% tariffs excluded from Canadian oil and gas. She failed miserably. Not only that, but sources say all she managed to do, was to meet with Trump for a couple of minutes, and get a selfie with him. Trump probably has forgotten about her. Quote

No, the bottom line is you're angry she took action and you're prepared to lie about it to make yourself feel better. The actual bottom line for her is that given a complete lack of action on the feds part and concerns they'd yet again throw alberta under the bus she went down and met with key people to lay the foundations for future discussions and to try to understand their position. Which she did. That puts her in a better position moving forward no matter what happens. I know you're big mad that premiers are taking action because your hero is a lame duck, but that doesn't make the actions inappropriate.

If Trump applies the tariffs to energy then it doesn't matter. Either way, American consumers will pay. This makes no sense. If the Americans apply tariffs to goods imported from Canada we retaliate by doing the same to goods imported from the US. We don't touch energy. Quote

If they want to tax oil coming into their country to make it more expensive it's no skin off our nose. And if they want to buy less oil we'll ship it to Japan instead. On 1/15/2025 at 4:56 PM, Aristides said: If Smith wants to be independent, hold a referendum and let Albertans decide, until then, they are still part of Canada so act like it. What does that mean, exactly? I see Ford has gone down south several times speaking to various people in government and media. Is he a traitor too? Quote

Trump is a CENSORED! moving steadily downhill as his mind melts with dementia. He's not going to outwit or outnegotiate anyone. He never really has been a big thinker. He bullies people he can bully, sucks up to those he can't, and cheats any way he can without getting caught.

Trump barely remembers his kids. The point of going down there is talking to the people around him who whisper things into his ear. He has no ideas himself. His mind is just a festering blob of resentment towards the world at large. Quote

Make it expensive for them. You don't understand that if they apply tariffs for oil imports they're already making it more expensive for themselves? Tariffs on oil imports will mean either they stop importing oil because it costs more than theirs or they just pay it. If they stop importing it they have to use more of theirs and stop exporting it. In any event, we either sell it to them or ship it to Japan or China. Same thing for lumber. They can't grow enough so they have to import lumber. If they make it more expensive, well, okay, that just increases the cost of building new homes there. Edited January 18 by I am Groot Quote
I am Groot Posted January 18 Report Posted January 18 I'm all for retaliating with targeted tariffs on swing states and Republican states where we can do the most damage. That makes sense. It's what we did last time. This idea of escalating immediately into cutting electricity, oil, and critical metals, is just dumb. It's dumb squared. As for the oil, the main pipeline to the south goes through Michigan before going back up into Ontario and Quebec. Cutting it means cutting oil to Ontario and Quebec. Which, once again, is stupid squared. Just as stupid is cutting electricity from Quebec into mainly Democratic states in the northeast. Quote

If he does put a tariff on oil, there is no point in us putting an export tax on it. The object is to make it more expensive for Americans. They have refineries that can't process anything but our heavy oil. Quote
