BREAKING: The truth comes out.
The US Secretary of Commerce just announced details of the last minute negotiations.
“[CANADA] CAME AT 4PM ON A FRIDAY” with last minute requests.
He stated that the Liberals “manufactured” a “lie” to Canadians.
And that the Liberals did it purely for political purposes due to the Alberta referendum coming up and the by-elections.
INSANE
Tariffs and counter-tariffs are harmful. They disrupt businesses, threaten jobs, drive up inflation and strain the relationship between Canada and the United States.
Threatening to cut off or tax Alberta’s energy is not the answer. It would devastate Alberta’s economy, hurt workers and businesses across Canada and risk losing our largest energy customer. There is a better way forward.
We need to support Canadian workers and businesses being hurt by these tariffs, double down on diplomacy with U.S. lawmakers and governors, break down interprovincial trade barriers, buy Canadian wherever possible and strengthen relationships with international trading partners to open new markets for Canadian products.
We need to move projects forward, starting by approving the pipeline to the west coast immediately to get construction underway as soon as possible. It is integral to reaching more markets for Alberta oil and strengthening Canada’s economic independence.
Canada will not win this battle through brute force. We will win by being smarter, more strategic and more agile.
Less talk. More action.
That is how we win.
