Probably best to never follow Alberta on anything while Smith is in charge.

Also, Marlaina Smith reeks of treason.

Of course she wants American products on shelves.

Traitor.

Good. As an American I say that nobody should give us any money. This place sucks and the assholes in charge deserve to suffer in the only way they understand - financially.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 days ago

Good.

Marlaina Smith is not to be trusted.

Doug will change his mind in 3...2...1...

Doubtful on this one. Keeping the ban in place lets him play up the "belligerent everyman/Captain Canada" image him and his base love so very much. The flip flopping is reserved for shady deals for his developer buddies that he knew were wrong and was just hoping no one would notice.

Yeah I absolutely despise Doug but he’s (somehow) a master at images. He, unlike PP, knows that Canadians/Ontarians are in elbows up mode so that’s the role he’s going to play since it really costs him nothing. If Ontario decided tomorrow that they actually love Trump, then he’d be Trump’s best friend in the world

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

He already is

He already flip-flopped on energy going to the states, and that was months ago. Maybe if he kept his word, we wouldn't still be playing this game.

Definitely not sourced but I think there was some assumption that was because the feds told him to hold off

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm with you on that one. Cutting off energy exports is the kind of drastic action that the feds would absolutely be in contact with him about.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Ontario didn't have to cut energy off, but they could have added extra fees to the delivery charges. We had leverage, and never made use of it.
