We've had enough of Danielle Smith's word salad. It's time for the Premier to clearly and unequivocally denounce separatism.
Albertans want to know EXACTLY where she stands.

Danielle Smith could call a snap election tomorrow, putting separatism on the ballot and giving her an out. At minimum this puts any referendum at least on hold.

Labrador is well positioned to use the power generated at Churchill Falls to power the mining and refining of rare earth metals deposited in the province.
Labrador also sits on the mouth of the North West Passage, and direct market access to Europe.
Something to think about.

Nothing goes against the argument that Canada is a save place for investment than two referendums on ending Canada.

Hot Take: Carney's speech to Davos was just as much about promoting Canada as a stable economy to other central banks looking to have fixed-income assets other than U.S bonds? Even if Canada can get a fraction of that marketshare....

Trump is big mad South Korea is potentially getting a deal for submarines with Canada. This combined with the U.S. Ambassador threatening us about F-35s, it's obvious.
This is all about CUSMA.

I have a question for Dem leadership:
Why aren't there bi-partisan efforts to find any and all illegal things Stephen Miller is doing, launch investigations, and simply fill up his schedule so he has no time to fuck things up further? There are only 24 hours in a day, I'm sure you can find 25.

With respect to Trump's threats to Canada just now:
1) Release the Epstein files
2) TACO
3) SCOTUS likely to decide Trump Taxes illegal and *poof* goes that leverage. Carney team likely knows it. MC ran Brookfield ffs. His entire job was global financial risk management.
4) See 1.

@davidwcochrane.bsky.social I've been a fan of Power and Politics (and previous incarnations) since the early 2000s.
The Power Panel is the most broken part of your show and that at these crucial moments the panelists can't park their goddamned partisan spin is a fucking disgrace to Canada.

Given the state of the US right now, is it even feasible to enter into any CUSMA negotiations at this stage? Other than serving some Canadian political theatre, we can't reasonably come to any deals under the Trump Admin; right?

How on earth is Canada supposed to negotiate CUSMA under these circumstances?
It is an exercise in futility to put any effort into CUSMA negotiations when the current US Regime is existing as a mafia state.
We don't negotiate with terrorists.
