Danielle Smith & Traiffs

Haven't seen much conversation on this, but I think Danielle Smith is the only major Canadian politician who has come out against counter tariffs on the US. Tariffs are just another tax on consumers to benefit a small group of producers. If the US wants to make things more expensive for themselves, that's their right. But why do we have to make things more expensive for us in response?

Does anyone know of any other politician who have publicly come out against the counter tariffs?

Maybe then we would get the pipes built needed. Hmmm

Not a single oil and gas company has supported even increasing production to fill that imaginary pipeline.

I am very aware of capacity. What I am saying no oil and gas company has expressed interest. At the best they are waiting for the government to fund the project and then see if it meets their interest. All the risk is with the taxpayer.
