The Team Canada approach to Trump’s tariffs sounds good but evokes a fragile spirit of unity and missing intergovernmental structure.

Pst- you don’t need to be vague. The weakness is Danielle Smith… and this surprises no one.

I’m more surprised that Doug Ford is actually fighting in the right side of an issue for once in his life.

The traitor from Alberta smooching the orange anus.

Doug Ford is actually fighting on the right side of an issue for the first time in his miserable, contrarian life. FTFY

It’s all of our interests that he fights on the right side.

Aluminum and steel tariffs would absolutely hurt our precarious construction industry as well as the many projects I’m sure he is personally vested in.

Am I incorrect to assume his rural Ontario voter base wouldn’t be okay with him throwing in with Trump, while Danielle Smith is expecting to be lauded by her Alberta-first base for this?

Danielle Smith cares less about her voting base than her funding base and if the oil stopped flowing her funding base would crucify her.

Thanks @xmunk@sh.itjust.works and @Windex007@lemmy.world, that helps clear the AB part up.

Pretty much everything the UCP has ever done has been strictly to prop up o&g.

Pause on renewable power generation, despite AB having tons of sun and wind? Tf? Nobody is asking you to pay for it, simply approve the projects! AB was responsible for 92% of renewable growth in Canada in 2023. It’s there, it makes sense.

Inviting AI data centers? The notoriously power hungry ones? When you’ve kneecapped renewable gen growth?

Trying to self manage the AB pension fund? Gee I wonder what industries the government would target for investment w/ that fund. Probably strictly the ones with the highest rates of return for the investors… Or… Maybe you’d cherry-pick investments with a worse long-term return to prop a specific industry. Who knows.

There is no such “Team Canada” except for dogma and conformity to distract from the culprit to blame. Look at the ones who push the mantra the hardest, they are fueled by hate and skipping over on accountability.
