Former Alberta Finance senior manager Lennie Kaplan knows his way around numbers.

And his calulator is painting a fairly dire picture for separation:

-Our economy shrinks by 7.2% in year one
-Personal income drops 6.2%
-Business invesment falls 8%
-Boosts trade costs by 12%

The only possible route is the southern route for a host of reasons. The sooner Alberta wakes up to this better for them.
Otherwise, they will waste two or more years of engagement only to have to start over

[cbcwatcher @cbcwatcher]

Grant Sprague, former Alberta deputy energy minister, on the best pipeline route "And Prince Rupert seems to me... an obvious deep water port that's there we could use, or you go south through Vancouver."

"Vancouver's got far more problems, it seems to me, and challenges in terms of getting large ships into the port."
"
"So the northern route seems attractive from that perspective."

Canada’s Aluminium Is Going to Europe. Brilliant Work, Donald.

A 50% tariff on Canadian aluminium, the one country on Earth that was happily selling the stuff at sensible prices, right next door, through an integrated supply chain that took decades to build. And now that aluminium is sailing across the Atlantic to Europe instead.

Canadian exports to the EU went from near zero to between 6% and 40% of monthly totals in the space of a year. Just vanished eastward. Extraordinary result.

US consumers are now paying $6,200 a ton for aluminium. Europeans are paying $4,300.  American manufacturers taxed nearly two thousand dollars a ton more than their competitors. For beer cans. And car parts. And buildings. Tremendous. Nobody could have seen that coming, except everyone.

Meanwhile Europe, which was already scrambling after losing its Middle Eastern supply to the Iran war, now faces a 5.6 million-ton aluminium deficit in 2026. And Canada just filled it. With metal that used to go to America.

The head of the Aluminium Association of Canada put it with admirable restraint: the EU option “remains attractive,” adding pressure on the US market. What he meant was: Washington handed Europe a competitive advantage in manufacturing while American industry pays the bill.

This is what happens when a trade guru who has spent his career slapping his name on buildings in gold letters decides he understands global commodity flows. No leverage materialises. Just an empty dock in Ohio and a very pleased purchasing manager in Rotterdam.

Well done, Donald.

@jengerson Veep is funny, this is tragic. Thanks for your wonderful commentary of late...

[Ken Boessenkool @KenBoessenkool]

Alberta is about to descend into a chaos entirely of @ABDanielleSmith’s making. She sold her political soul to the separatists and installed them in key positions in her office and party.

She sowed the wind. Alberta will reap the whirlwind.
