I disagree, we should continue to negotiate with the US but not sign and lose more. We traded before 1988 and we will continue to do so. In the meantime we need to setup a full blown deal with both China and India, and expand CETA - better to mitigate risk by spreading it out and expanding our slice of international trade.
Kate Harrison@KatlynHarrison

Mexico started their formal negotiation on CUSMA this week. Crickets from Canada. We can keep bemoaning "tone and sentiment" from the White House. But that does nothing to advance our interests with our largest trading partner and security ally. #cdnpoli

Question to @ikwilson: by 2050, Quebec population will be down, AB up. More western seats in the HofC. Wait 24 years isn’t compelling but why throw away growing clout and risk separation? His answer: 4 more seats in HofC isn’t the fix. We have diverse economies and cultures. Canada isn’t an optimal size. Cultures are different. Tweaking representation doesn’t solve it but AB is optimal size/economy etc.

@GlobeKPD @KeithGave The same Claude Lemieux who played for Colorado and put Chris Draper face first into the dasher from behind taking out a lot of Chris’s teeth. Then back in Detroit he turtles when Darren McCarty fought him. Ya that guy. Chicken s**t. And he carries the flame?

Claude Lemieux carries in the flame. In days of yore, he was hated by Neely. Game at the Garden, Lemieux turtled, all fours.....and Neely dragged him into the corner and mashed his face into the wall,...once, twice, thrice.... It just so happened, the banner ad in said corner was The Boston Globe. Lemieux left the building that night with...wait for it...a nose for news.

Toronto Star Queen's Park reporter from his Toronto Annex basement, Robert Benzie, somehow missed this exchange below from John Ibbitson and decided to become that EastSplainer media guy to Albertans Lisa Raitt, overly politely, excuses his nonsense " I can't really say, say anything negative about what Danielle Smith's doing right now." "I think she is just trying to toe the line in terms of having both sides be somewhat happy about whether or not there's a referendum there." "And I don't necessarily think it's fair for us to beat up on her now." "...You know, in terms of the referendum, the other thing that I highlight, I don't think it's particularly helpful for centre Canadians to be telling Alberta what they can and cannot do in terms of asking themselves a question." Benzie was beating up on her, please don't make excuses for fellow panelists Lisa! He can hoist with his own petard @lraitt @robertbenzie
cbcwatcher@cbcwatcher

Boom! John Ibbitson "Well, they are an angry people and they have every reason to be angry." "From the time the provinces were founded, when Albertans, Saskatchewan, were not given the natural resources powers that other provinces had, to the latest regulation from Ottawa limiting the development of the oil sands for environmental or other reasons, Albertans have been put upon by a central Canadian elite, looks at them as something of a colony." "And the result of that indifference and condescension from central Canada is this referendum on a referendum. We're responsible for that here in the center." @JohnIbbitson

“If your heat source was nuclear, you would dramatically drop the carbon intensity because you wouldn’t be burning the natural gas,” Hodgson said.
JennyManyDots@jenstilmanydots

Canadian Energy Minister Tim Hodgson said he’s “highly confident” that Alberta #oil sands companies can absorb the cost of building carbon capture, despite their protests that Canada’s climate rules hurt their global competitiveness. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Proudly Albertan & Canadian
@lamphieryeg KM was facing fiscal uncertainty and almost certainly would have canceled the project regardless of who was Prime Minister. It's also extremely likely that TMX wouldn't exist today if the Conservatives had formed government at the time.

A pipeline that cost $34 billion of our tax dollars. Not a dime of which would have been spent if the Liberals and their BC pals had not obstructed KM every step of the way. And now you think we should THANK them for their largesse? 🤣
Ken Boessenkool@KenBoessenkool

You forgot that they built a pipeline. With Canadian’s taxpayer dollars. Against the objections of many caucus members. And is contributing billions to Alberta’s, and Canada’s, coffers now that it’s built.

@nbennett_ca Such mixed feeling about this. Admire John Horgan for his work as a Premier but also remember how he, Adrian Dix and the anti-Site C folks tried so very hard not just to stop the project but to attack those who were arguing the, now confirmed, case that the energy was needed

What Alberta Separatism would actually look like even if it was possible constitutionally (which it isn’t): 1. Oil sands would almost entirely remain in Canada along with all Treaty 8 territory. I would love for someone to explain how any other result is even possible (it isn’t). 2. Upwards of 20 percent of the population would leave immediately, most of these being educated professionals from urban/suburban areas. 3. The remaining “Albertans” would be left to scratch together a military, a pension system, a diplomatic settlement ice and international agreements, and thousands other things the federal government already does and pays for. 4. Chaos, cronyism, and fighting over the scraps. Everyone who can leave will leave. 5. Then would come the clambering to return to the edenic garden of Canada and people pretending to have never supported separation in the first place.

@DanielDorman_ Do you think it’s 1980 or something. There is no pathway for constitutional reform in Canada. The ROC loves the status quo it’ll never change

"If Alberta hopes to achieve greater autonomy within Confederation, it will be won not through grievance or defiance but by lawful and responsible assertion of political will within Canada’s existing constitutional framework. By framing autonomy as an exercise of responsible government – a core doctrine of Canada’s constitutional tradition – the discourse will shift from political protest to institutional legitimacy..."

@business Hey @business @timhodgsonmt if Alberta oil sands companies can absorb this cost then Equalization Eastern Canada can also afford to pay a Carbon Price on the 450,000 barrels of foreign oil they import daily.
