CETA should be completely ratified & Canada should increase its trade with Europe regardless of which party wins the next federal election.

Canada can no longer rely upon the United States as a reliable & politically stable trading partner.

At least the 2 major parties agree on that point.

Incidentally Trump lovers in this forum, among Canadian Conservatives, 60% of them have a negative view of the US President. Just 30% or so of  Canadian Conservatives have a favorable opinion of Donald Trump.

Yesterday, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith met Mark Carney in Edmonton at his request.

She laid it on the line, no apologies, and told him Alberta's fed up with a decade of Liberal disdain from Ottawa.

She handed him a list of demands, smart, tough, non negotiable that the next PM "must address within the first six months of their term to avoid an unprecedented national unity crisis."

Here it is:
• Full access for Alberta's oil and gas—north, east, west—no more roadblocks
• Repeal Bill C-69, the "no pipelines" sham 
• Lift the tanker ban on BC's coast 
• Kill the oil and gas emissions cap—a production cap in disguise 
• Dump the so called "Clean Electricity Regulations" 
• End the absurd single use plastics ban 
• Scrap the net zero car fantasy 
• Return oversight of the industrial carbon tax to the provinces 
• Stop Ottawa's gag order on our energy companies 
• No export tax or limits on Alberta's oil and gas to the U.S.—full stop 
• Fix the feds' bungling of Jasper and Banff after last year's wildfire.

She also made it clear that Alberta owns it's resources, and "we are not here to foot the bill for other provinces who can stand on their own.'

We all know Mark Conman aint reversing any of this. Our premier, Scott Moe has Smith's back on all these demands.

Goodbye Ottawa, hello Washington.

She is setting the boundaries from the start. That is good for her province, but bad for Canada. Mr Carney is unlikely to blink. He is too committed to the WEF agenda.

I see old Poilivere called Smith's demands reasonable. Because he is reasonable and wants national unity.

It's all over after Carney wins. All our investments in Canada will be in greenbacks.

The emissions cap, Bills C-49 and C-69 are all staying under Carney.

The Canadian government's biggest source of revenue are energy exports. Mr Carney wants what pays the bills taxed, but Net Zero items which cost money subsidized.

That is a recipe for economic despair. It will also produce a national unity crisis that could see two provinces become American states.

Either way this shakes out, I get the feeling we are looking at another Venezuela in the making. Whether the carnival barker sees sense and underpins an economic recovery on the fossil fuels sector (which is unlikely) or doubles down on the WEF wet dream of ecologically sustainable unicorn farts, libtards will demand the government keeps writing cheques they can't cash.

Prepare for the loonie to crash and burn to the point the only affordable house will be a yurt in the tundra. And watch as the somalis and other diversity hires run rampant over the locals who will let it happen "because racism".

That is eggs-ackly what has been happening in Canada for the last decade. It will accelerate under Mark Carney.

I read Danielle Smith is demanding Mark Carney address all those points within 6 months "or else."

Let's see if she sticks to her guns on this. It would be refreshing if these demands were truly non-negotiable, even more so if there is a sting in the tail when they aren't met.

Trump has admitted he is trying to get Carney elected. It makes sense. Globalist progs like Carney value international partnerships over countries. He will be easy for Trump to manipulate and get a deal that benefits the US at the expense of Canadians.

That all depends on the mood of voters in her province. And what Trump offers too of course.

Mark Carney talks about finding new markets for Canadian commodities, but he will not even stop provinces like BC and Quebec from blocking critical infrastructure.

Indeed, as Trudeau's chief economic advisor, Carney has ensured that Northern Gateway, Energy East, a pipeline proposal to Hudson Bay from Alberta, and Eagle Spirit pipelines never made it to shovels in the ground. The Liberals with Carney's climate obsession advising Trudeau did nothing when they knew Biden would cancel the Northern Leg of KXL. They said there was n0o businessw case for LNG when Europeans and Asians wanted to invest in pipelines and export facilities.

Trudeau and Carney have made us dependent on one market where both gas and oil are heavily discounted. Now Carney has learned nothing by keeping the emissions cap that prevents more development of heavy oil and LNG that the world wants.

Unless Carney reversal of everything he has fought for all his life, this country is headed for a consititional crisis that will accompany an economic one.
