Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

This may be the reason?
Danielle Smith? You have got to be kidding. She probably sold the country out when she went to Mar-I-Lago. The woman is not only an idiot but a menace.
Of course look at the source, Rebel News. Lorne Gunter and Ezra Levant. Not to mention the resident water boy and gossip for the Trump camp.

Yeah. Rebel News. I don’t believe even Maxine Bernier* considers it a serious news source.
*Leader of the decidedly right wing conservative/libertarian party in Canada. The People’s Party of Canada.
A tenfold more accurate assessment of Danielle Smith in this battle is here:

I think this does answer the question about whether Trump believes his own shit about tariffs.
As Scott Lincicome from Cato Institute says, if Canadian producers will pay the tariffs, why reduce the ones on energy to 10%?

One reason could be the fact that 69% of Canadian oil and gas energy stocks are held by Americans.
Am sure there are others
In the meantime here is an 11 minute BBC interview with Mark Carney, former Governor of the Bank of England and Bank of Canada and likely successor to Trudeau next month. This man is no fool and is not afraid to take on the WH bully:

Quite a feat, the country is rallying around the Trudeau government on this.
Is there anything Trump can't do?

If you’re Canada do you have any choice but to invest in more pipelines to Pacific ports?
I remember when Trump threatened Amazon with increased postal costs. At the time, over 80% of the deliveries in our area were via USPS. Now, 100% of them are by Amazon.

If this doesn’t resolve itself within 4 weeks, sure.

And Atlantic ports. There’s also Hudson Bay for six month’s of the year, maybe more with climate change and global warming.

And if Trump gets the Keystone XL built, that will mean more exports to world markets.
And what if he does but won’t be able to tie into the line we built to the border? Pipeline is useless without product to ship.

Trump doesn’t want to resolve it. It’s pretty clear from his comments that fentanyl is there for the legal justification but autarky is the goal. Though at some point markets and inflation will force his hand.

As I mentioned in another thread. Trump has no compunction against pivoting and moving to a more market friendly position if he sees the tide turning against him…
He lacks the courage of his convictions at times. Feel free to make all the jokes that you would like out of that.

Though at some point markets and inflation will force his hand.I think folks would forgive prices not decreasing - but increasing prices? - not so much especially when the layoffs come - so the twin pincers of higher prices and increased unemployment might shake even some of the faithful. Follow that with a stock market decline...
