I didn’t really think Trump would follow through with the tariffs, he was just enjoying watching Canada set it’s hair on fire and lift elbows like the bunch of lame ducks they are.

Today was an important win for Canada and Alberta, as it appears the United States has decided to uphold the majority of the free trade agreement (CUSMA) between our two nations. It also appears this will continue to be the case until after the Canadian Federal election has concluded and the newly elected Canadian government is able to renegotiate CUSMA with the U.S. Administration.
This is precisely what I have been advocating for from the U.S. Administration for months.
It means that the majority of goods sold into the United States from Canada will have no tariffs applied to them, including 0% tariffs on energy, minerals, agricultural products, uranium, seafood, potash and host of other Canadian goods.
There is still work to be done of course. Unfortunately, tariffs previously announced by the United States
on Canadian automobiles, steel and aluminum have not been removed. The efforts of Premiers and the federal government should therefore shift towards removing or significantly reducing these remaining tariffs on a go forward and ensuring affected workers across Canada are generously supported until the situation is resolved.
I again call on all involved in our national advocacy efforts to focus on diplomacy and persuasion while avoiding unnecessary escalation. Clearly, this strategy has been the most effective to this point.
As it appears the worst of this tariff dispute is behind us (though there is still work to be done), it is my sincere hope that we, as Canadians, can abandon the disastrous policies that have made Canada vulnerable to and overly dependent on the United States, fast track national resource corridors, get out of the way of provincial resource development and turn our country into an independent economic juggernaut and energy superpower.

Hubby and I were having a discussion about the 9 questions and I am still a little miffed about the fact the REAL questions were not asked. The question DS ran on in her campaign that should have been the base of this referendum.
1. Do you want to have an Alberta pension plan
2. Do you want Alberta to collect it's own taxes and decide what Ottawa gets
3. Do you want an Alberta police force
4. Do you want Alberta firearms regulations and legislation.
5. Do you want to stay on MST or DST year round.
6. Do you want to Alberta to become an independent nation.
DS has always been a "go along to get along" gal by her own admission. Remember how pissed everyone was in her group when she went and got jabbed then posted pictures of her social engagements while the rest of us were the social pariah? She was empowered by us with big balls and somewhere along the line got neutered.
I find a report I heard yesterday rather ironic / stupid if true. Home builders in BC are building with US and even Norwegian timber because they are cheaper to build with. I don’t get it. But we’re “building Canada” all right. Just like the next phase for LNG canada will be all Korean steel from what I understand. We’re really a broken country.
Elbows up folks!!😡
