Nenshi claims we need to go to all out war with USA and to cut off Oil to Ontario
@ABDanielleSmith
Alberta NDP leader, Naheed Nensh, says we need to threaten the U.S. with an export tax on Alberta’s oil and gas to create leverage in trade negotiations with the Americans.
An export tax on Alberta oil to the U.S. would literally put over hundred thousand Albertans out of work almost overnight and decimate our economy across the board - not to mention the probable US retaliation of cutting off Line 5 fuel to Ontario and Quebec.
It would be like punching ourselves in the face.
Unlike the Nenshi NDP, I will protect Albertans’ jobs and livelihoods.
So let me be clear: an export tax on Alberta oil and gas or the halting of supply to the U.S. is not going to happen…period. Full stop. It’s not on the table nor will it be on the table in the future.
I will continue with the diplomatic approach that has resulted in 97% of Alberta exports remaining tariff free, and continue to work with the many and growing number of elected U.S. officials and other allies that are working diligently to end the tariff dispute between our two great nations.
