What a surprise. How about Quebec hydro electric? No, just Alberta. Smith should tell them to GFY.

There’s always fourth…as Trudeau and Team (Joly and LeBlanc) look to restrict Alberta’s oil exports to America.
Energy export restrictions ‘on the table’ to respond to U.S. tariff threats, Joly says — The Globe and Mail
The possibility of restricting energy exports was quickly opposed by Alberta Premier Danielle Smithapple.news
It funny how the province and resource they despise most are the ones they are choosing to wield as a retaliatory weapon and rally behind.

Plus the Province that contributes the most to equalization payments, the majority of which goes to Quebec.
Just read the article. Where does it say Alberta only?

Between this and heading towards going against party traditions and having a Quebecois(e) Leader because none of the other potential leadership candidates appear to speak French well enough, the LPC seems to be perhaps looking to beat the Green Party to the bottom?
Opinion | Justin Trudeau Was His Own Worst Enemy
He came to power with a new kind of politics — progressive and identity-based. In the end, it proved his undoing.

It doesn’t, so let’s say you’re right, electricity is in there too (although Ford already walked back his hydro-embargo comments, but let’s play that the Feds tell Ford to pound sand and hydro is cut) so the Feds figure a potion of ON/QB $4.6B of combined hydro export will have just as much effect on Trump’s 25% tariff plan as $146B or oil and gas exports from AB? Put another way, ON/QB hydro exports are 3% of AB’s oil/gas exports, so….97% of “Canada’s” energy export restrictions will be AB oil/gas.

An interesting take on Christy Clark. I suspect that Sam Cooper’s and Marc Cohodes’ counsels have run through what they say here about Clark’s ties with China and the CCP…

Well if Canada is effectively Trudeau’s post-nation state (particularly during prorogation), then Provinces have a clear path to make their respective cases to America’s next leader. I mean, if the only thing we’re getting out of Trudeau’s and Joly’s lips are unenforceable recess-time style tough words, then we might as well have dialogue with Canadians who actually have a vested interest in making things functional, vice ongoing pandering to an adversarial state (China).

And when the feds decide to use provincial resources as a bargaining chip, without co-operation of said province, who is responsible for replacing the lost revenue? Resources are a provincial jurisdiction.

Penny foolish, pound foolish...
What seems pretty clear, though, is that Trudeau didn’t try very hard to fix any of Canada’s long-term problems. Even as the problems of low investment, low innovation, and low productivity went from bad to worse, and even as lower oil prices meant that petroleum exports could no longer be a band-aid on Canada’s deeper issues, Trudeau’s administration failed to mount a serious effort to get companies to invest and innovate more, or even to investigate the root causes of the country’s stagnation. It’s not clear whether Trudeau could have fixed what ails Canada, but he didn’t even seem to realize something was amiss.
Instead, he seemed to believe the commentators who declared that total GDP growth was all that matters, bulking up his economy on the cheap carbs of mass low-skilled immigration without producing any underlying strength. Trudeau may not have actively sabotaged the Canadian economy, but he certainly didn’t do much to turn the ship around. Let’s hope Poilievre can be a bit more proactive.
