Will the USA take the first opportunity to seize the oil as they did with Venezuela? Could Alberta become a U.S. unincorporated territory - part of the U.S. but not a state such as Puerto Rico? They pay federal taxes and are subject to federal law but cannot vote. Wake up.
@MarcNixon24 Canada is in a much better underlying position than suggested. Newfoundland currently produces 292,000 barrels per day which could be shipped to refineries in Montreal and Sarnia for Quebec and Ontario.
@KirkLubimov She left out a few possibilities. Newfoundland crude up St. Lawrence → Quebec, Quebec already has marine crude facilities and substantial refining capacity. Refined gasoline, diesel and jet fuel can then move west from Quebec into Ontario using an existing pipeline.
@ABDanielleSmith My concern is that your speech today might appear to some almost as step by step instructions for dt on how to cause the most harm possible to Ontario.
@PierrePoilievre The last thing Canada needs right now is the spectacle of you trying to undermine the trade negotiations team publicly. Trump would love it. Sit down and shut your f ing mouth please. Canadians did not and will never elect you as pm.
@ABDanielleSmith FO Dani. It’s not all about your O&G gods, this is about Canada’s sovereignty. If you cared about Albertans you wouldn’t have destroyed our healthcare and education systems. You would love to sell Alberta out to your maga buddies. Step down and put an end to this separation BS.
@fordnation Haven’t seen credible evidence indicating that large numbers of undocumented residents were receiving Ontario social assistance before this change.
@Tablesalt13 There is an enormous legal difference between:
1. Transferring Crown land into First Nation ownership, and
2. Recognizing Aboriginal title, negotiating land-use arrangements, or giving a First Nation greater decision-making authority over its traditional territories.
