I think Alberta oil is going to get a carve out.šŸ¤ž His issue is with Trudeau and Ottawa, not Smith and Alberta. If Trudeau puts an export tax on Alberta oil, it will be the beggining of the Republic of Alberta. Trump wants oil and border security which Alberta has to offer in a deal. Trump can then offer to Albertanā€™s for their assests in U.S. dollars and an open tariffs free border (I hope he throws in American passports for Albertanā€™s as the cherry on top).
ā€œPresident Donald Trump on Thursday confirmed his intention to impose 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods as of this Saturday, February 1.

The president said his team will decide if they will impose a separate tariff on Canadian oil and gas Thursday night.

When a reporter asked if oil will be part of the imminent tariffs on Canadian goods, ā€œbecause we get oil from Canada,ā€ Trump said, "Oil has nothing to do with it, as far as Iā€™m concerned. Oil has nothing to do with it.ā€

ā€œSo no oil tariffs,ā€ asked a reporter?

ā€œI didnā€™t say that, you said that,ā€ replied Trump.

ā€œWe may or may not, weā€™re going to make that determination probably tonight, on oil.ā€

ā€œBecause [Canada] sends us oil. Weā€™ll see, it depends on the price. If the oil is properly priced, if they treat us properly ā€” which they donā€™t."

ā€œLook, Mexico and Canada have never been good to us on trade. Theyā€™ve treated us very unfairly on trade. And weā€™ll be able to make up for that very quickly. Because we donā€™t need the products they have ā€” we have all the oil, all the trees, we need.ā€

ā€œWe don't need what they have.ā€

ā€œFor us to be subsidizing Canada to the tune of $175 billion a year, and subsidizing Mexico to the tune of $250 billion, $300 billion a year (is unreasonable),ā€ Trump told reporters after signing a string of executive orders.ā€

Trump since November has threatened to impose 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods until America's northern and southern neighbours gained control of their weak borders.

The president has cited rampant drug trafficking, and the "flooding" of illegal immigrants into the US from Canada and Mexico.

ā€œWeā€™ll be announcing the tariffs on Canada and Mexico for a number of reasons,ā€ said Trump on Thursday afternoon.

ā€œNumber one is the people that have poured into our country, so horribly and so much."

ā€˜Number two are the drugs, fentanyl and everything else that have come into the country."

ā€œNumber three are the massive subsidies that weā€™re giving to Canada and Mexico in the form of deficits."

ā€œIā€™ll be putting the tariff of 25% on Canada, and separately, 25% on Mexico," confirmed the president.

"Weā€™re going to have to do that, we have very big deficits with those countries."

"Those tariffs may or may not rise with time."

ā€œThe only fly in the ointment in step 3 is that CT Carney needs a 2/3 majority vote in parliament to officially declare an emergency. Speculation is that would be difficult, because hopefully the cons wonā€™t fall for it. Then I can imagine the government, and the media, blaming the conservatives for ā€œnot putting Canada first!ā€

Weā€™re done, folks. Unless these stupid Canuckistans finally wake up in time to avoid the trap thatā€™s being laid out for them, weā€™re going to get spoon-fed socialism for generations to come.ā€

ā€œSpeaking to reporters Wednesday, Smith said critics of the report are trying to control the narrative and said she doesnā€™t want to see ā€œcontrarian voicesā€ shut out when reviewing pandemic response measures.ā€
