Too much empty talk, no substance. Majority of Albertans don’t agree with your point of view. Why is she wasting time and money on unnecessary referendum??? Senate is a part and parcel of Parliamentary democracy, madam. You are steering around and avoiding to fix the problems in Education, Healthcare, and green energy infrastructure. You are not sending extra money to Ottawa as you are referring to the transfer payments among provinces. The last formula was signed up by the ex Rt Hon PM Stephen Harper, who won his seat in Calgary AB.

First of all why is she asking people this? As a leader she should know the issues, and have the answers. Obviously she does not know, and should not be the leader/Premier. So she wants to wait another year to have a survey, and then start working on things? That sounds insane to me. With $60 oil, Danielle states Alberta's debt will skyrocket. Oil is heading to $40 per barrel. That's $50 billion dollars more debt PER YEAR than in 2024. When you add on the costs to finance that , you are looking at maybe $70 Billion deficit per year very soon. That is unstainable for such a small population. Then the separatists want to ad at least a trillion dollar loan, to leave Canada and service that debt. Where is all this massive wealth the separatist spew? Then she wants to wait another year for the people to tell her what to do about it. She is totally insane. Danielle, the worst Premiere in Alberta's history. Another survey, and another year wasted while nothing get's done? Please stop blaming everyone else for Alberta's problems. It is getting tiring. Danielle never says much that is correct. Like her ridiculous CPP rebate cheque. The way she calculated that was totally insane. Today she stated Ai would save Alberta's economy. She may not know it but Ai makes almost no jobs. It also needs massive energy and a good power grid, and Alberta's is ancient. That's why she is just a small time TV show host. Alberta's problems is as always, due to a bad Premiere, and she is the worst of them all. Dec 2025 Employment Insurance Recipients 67,520 UP 21.9% y/y Q3 2025 Net Migration 5,849 Down -86.2% y/y Dec 2025 International Merchandise Exports $15.6B Down -7.4% y/y Where do you see this massive wealth with $40 oil on it's way? Danielle states every 1 dollar the oil goes down equals a Billon dollar deficit. Rath uses $90 per barrel for his insane figures. 2025 prices averaged in high 60's. In the mid 50's now, and almost every oil agency in the world states it will settle around $40. If you add 20 or $30 billion more debt to Alberta's deficit per year, Alberta will die a very fast death. Add on a one trillion dollar loan, and the other costs to pay out Canada. Then add on all the new federal costs Alberta will have to assume. LNG will be over as BC/Canada will never let Alberta use it's plants, ports, and infrastructure to compete with themselves. If Canada does let a a new Alberta use it's existing pipelines, of course they will not subsidize them any more. They will expect to make a profit from them. So let's say they add on $5.00 more per barrel. Using Danielle's math that would add another $5 Billion annually to Alberta's skyrocketing debt every year. Can you explain to me where all this massive wealth that Rath and Wilson preach? Of course there are many other issues like business/jobs leaving. Equalization payments are not really and issue as oil plummets, especially with no LNG Equalization is based on high earnings, as Albertans make more money than everywhere else. If there are no jobs, Alberta may again start to get payments back even. Trump thinks Alberta oil will be good for USA reserves so he can just shut that down for 100 years, so what will that do to Alberta jobs , and deficit. If you ask people how they feel about Rath and Wilson begging for a trillion dollar loan...secured by Alberta's resources... "just to get started" , I wonder what they will say. She thinks Ai will save Alberta LOL AI needs massive cheap energy, and an up to date power grid.. Not strong points for Alberta with an ancient power grid. Ai also produces no jobs. Given the shape of Alberta, thanks to Danielle, I don't think equalization payments will be an issue, going forward. With $40 oil on it's way, Alberta may start getting payments. LNG will be over as BC/Canada will never let Alberta use it's plants, ports, and infrastructure to compete with themselves. If Canada does let a a new Alberta use it's existing pipelines, of course they will not subsidize them any more. They will expect to make a profit from them. So let's say they add on $5.00 more per barrel. Using Danielle's math that would add another $5 Billion annually to Alberta's skyrocketing debt every year.

Psychotic. I want an election. She’s trying to make us maple maga project 25. She’s driving business away. Maybe Diversify energy, Tax corporations & billionaires & manage royalties to benefit middle class?

I KNOW. Its hard. Our host, trying, trying, straining to comprehend the big picture. This was a decent logical interview. Kenney called out 'post nationalist' the death of history insane ideology. And the two of you showed how it has been rejigged, a lot of the details. Good job. Honestly, excellent interview. I saved it to my PC. Here is the hard part. Excepting the US, the entire west, UK, Germany, France, Spain, Canada, Australia etc, is engaging the same precise nation wrecking migration policies. Ponder the concept - its a global plan. THAT is the hard part. Stretch your mind Lilley, you can do it. You would start to wonder whether its one arm of an overall decline of the west actual plan. Wreck energy, agriculture, public finances, flood the place with unvetted migrants to swamp the place, deride the history, promote shame, wreck the very concept of a family, de-industralize. Make us all poor, dependent, minorities in our own homeland. Keep gnawing away at free speech, arrest grandmas for posting why is the local hotel full of migrants who dont speak english? Just how it is man. I know, its hard to comprehend. Facts are facts however.

Well keep crying 😂. Mauritian in the US here. Kick us out if you can. Why waste so much energy on a thing that you know won’t change sh!t? We are here, we will be here forever. Just get rolling with it.

I just finished my test January 28 2026 19/20. , I got multiple True/False questions as many people. One was about Olympic gold medal winner in 2010 Vancouver was Men's team. True. I remember a question about start of the modern energy industry, it had given timefram and what was the energy . I chose the Oil Alberta 1947 , which was correct. It has I think hydroelectricity Quebec 1980 as another answer closest for choice. Another question I remember True false , it has 3 names Question was are these one of the great inventors of Canada. So I would suggest you take note of Greatest inventors of Canada. There are multiple. Many answers of questions are too easy to eliminate because they don't make sense at all. You are mostly between 2 answers easily. If you just study this video I think you'll surely pass 😅. Another question was ; Who are appointed by on the advice of Prime minister? Answers; Memebers of parliement Mayors Senators Citizens Obviously Senators was the answer but answers might differ, so just study the other applicable answers for the questions.

May this foreign energy never come to a red state in America.

I’m South African Indian from Durban, and I spent three months in Vancouver for work. Honestly, I wouldn’t visit Canada again. The cold was unbearable for me, and I found the country dull and boring. Coming from Durban, where there’s warmth, energy, culture, and life everywhere, Canada just didn’t feel like my kind of place. Some people may enjoy the quiet and structure, but it’s not for everyone—and it definitely wasn’t for me. Three months was more than enough to know it’s not my vibe.

3:02 I think 90% of what this dude said is so horribly off the mark but even I have to agree with this. If immigrants could successfully assimilate before, why not now? I remember in the 2010s hearing about immigrants/refugees not assimilating in Europe and constantly just thought "well why don't they just do immigration with strong assimilation like we do here in Canada?", and now we had 4 years of sloppy immigration give or take, unfortunate. At least the straight up policies that led to this influx of poorly managed immigration is removed, but the same leaders and cabinet members and the like of the liberal government are present. Oh and did I mention they keep privatizing things, throwing money at mining industries without any seeing of the benefit to working Canadians realistically, and planning to build a pipeline by like 2035 towards east Asia which will likely be majority renewable energy by then, without actually trying to address the issues now present from the 4 years of sloppy immigration policy?

now quebec will have peace... they should have known their actions would have consequences ... blocking road for public prayers .. not because the want to pray but to show dominance .. i live in dubai .. nobody blocks roads to pray here ,... either pray at home or in mosque ... i hope europe wakes up too ... see how fast energy returns ? they didnt have good intentions for canada ... they just wanted to spread their extreme ideology

see your condition mr. the indians are paying more taxes than you... and you get that benefitss... if you have guts and energy than b more success full than any other person. and the person who move to canada for better future they working hard 10 to 12 hours a day.. or some times 18 hrs. & u guys can do that???? even low salary or low wages they working like donkeysss.... you guys have this capacityy to work like them... ?????????

Too many generalizations in the comments section....they, them, we, all, Indians, students, etc.. Use that energy and go to your MPs and complain and make change. Stop spreading hate and definitely don't go out after watching social media and act out that hate.

Not clever enough to understand, so is this move done to lower the value of Canadian companies to make them cheaper for American investors for hostile takeover? Energy companies etc?

And look all healthy looking clothes on their back et cetera! Have energy to run push

Go Mexico!!!!\n\n\nAlso I hope EU will join!!! This will show Trump he can’t win!!! Unless his plan is to suck Russia pipes to get energy…

Based on the trade data, Canada would likely be in a worse position in a trade war with the United States. Here's why:\n\n1. Canada sends approximately 75% of its total exports to the US, while the US only sends about 18% of its exports to Canada. This creates a significant asymmetry in dependency.\n\n2. The US economy (around $27 trillion) is roughly 13 times larger than Canada's economy (about $2.1 trillion), giving the US more cushion to absorb economic shocks.\n\n3. he US typically runs a trade deficit with Canada (approximately $135 billion in goods in 2023), which means Canada sells more to the US than it buys, making Canadian producers more vulnerable to US tariffs.\n\n4. The US has more diversified export markets globally, while Canada is heavily reliant on the US market.\n\nThat said, a trade war would harm both countries:\n\n- Highly integrated supply chains, especially in automotive manufacturing, would be disrupted\n- Border regions in the US would face significant economic impacts\n- US consumers would face higher prices for Canadian goods (energy, raw materials)\n- Specific US industries dependent on Canadian inputs would face challenges\n\nWhile Canada would likely face more severe macroeconomic consequences, a trade war would ultimately be lose-lose, damaging industries and consumers on both sides of the border.

Working and appeasing Russia ?\nEuropeans are still buying energy from Russia And your the one Sympathizing with CCP Adopting policies Like sensor ship

1:20\nYeah, Trudeau just threatened to block energy exports without _technically_ threatening to block energy exports.\n\nGrab your popcorn, everyone, this is gonna be a wild ride. ?

the countries that are richer in fossil fuels, energy production and materials are always the ones that have the highest chances of winning a trade war, unless there are other countries that can offer the same quantity at lower prices.\nIn the end these costs will always be passed onto the end consumer.\nI think that Donald is not that smart.. He is going to starve his citizens

Export tariffs on energy ... about time!

Canada's electric rates to the US were and are ridiculously high. The us cities have been telling the Canadians that for 30 years. The US has and will make up the short falls in energy for sure.

Wooo the history repeat itself\nAs most think, Ww2 start on 1939, but China has been fighting the evil Japan (especially after Dec 1941) starting 1937.\nCanada is trying to tell the US citizen, Canada is not evil, not his to blame to raise food n energy prices in US.\nBut it has started since 2020. Canada at that point clap hand to celebrate.

You lost me as soon as you mentioned OUR Liberal narrative Putin, after that you just sound like a typical liberal crybaby. I feel for you all, i do, but we had tariffs before and its fine to have yhem again, the market will correct and we will manufacture our own goods and energy. You aren't flexing shit because we can tarrif you right into a 51st state, unfortunately you would be like California. Who is gonna protect your ass in a war? Whos tax dollars? You been dragging ass for a century and not paying your way, meanwhile the US pays more for military to cover your ass. Keep talking shit, join Ukraine and let me know how it works out.

We love America and Americans, but if someone attacks Canadian sovereignty, we will fight back. If the Canadian government invites China to invest in Technology, Agriculture, Automotive, and Oil, Canada will emerge as a different, independent, and prosperous nation. This investment could create thousands of jobs, lower EV and fuel costs, generate significant tax revenue, and strengthen the economy, as Chinese EVs are more affordable than U.S. counterparts. Ultimately, lower energy costs would decrease the cost of living and boost Canadians' spending power, attracting foreign investors to Canada.

I appreciate having true leaders for the people and prosperity with morals and standing. Today in USA several grocery stores were out of produce from Mexico and wondering gas, car and energy prices going going up. This is what happens when you have spineless leaders wanna be dictators. Putin is benefitting ?

Trudeau’s weak leadership has hurt Canada, especially in energy and trade. Now, thanks to his failures, we’re vulnerable to Trump’s policies.

So CNN and democrats are now looking to a leader being booted by his own party.. keep that same energy!

I effectively spent a chunk of my childhood in America with relatives. I treasured these memories, but now all the feelings of wonder and happiness when thinking of my visits to America have faded. Now I just think of how selfish it was to sabotage Canada. American private equities want to rock our system and buy up all they can and so I am happy we are watching for this. I think Donald did this to try and buy up Canadian companies. This should be made illegal. I am willing to suffer for up to pull the plug on all resources and energy going to America “suddenly” do they have no time to adapt and collectively suffer. We even produce the ingredient you need for your nuclear weapons and otherwise need to get this from Russia. Canada has the ability to help our allies get nuclear weapons to protect against “America as our #1 enemy now”. Will we share too secret info with you when Trump clearly seems to be working with Russia? Putin dream for NATO to break down and now Trump ours that I to action . Trump wants everyone to spend money on military to fuel the American military industrial complex, something each and every huge tech company you have participated. You have essentially been taken over by a global entity that doesn’t care about democracy. We are going to manufacture our own weapons to have zero dependency on America. That makes no sense to buy weapons from the country threatening to invade you. \n\nHow will America feel to be totally alone in the global stage all under the power of one unstable man with multiple personality disorders. Trump things Putin is Americas friend and meanwhile in Russian media America spoken of as enemy number one. Meanwhile, America is 30% full of people with such little education in politics that they do not even know what is considered red flags to democracy. The 20% needed to shift will see the light once the worst man made intentional recession begins and the billionaires buy up 30% of your homes and buildings. Nothing at all will be outside of billionaire and corporate control and now all your data is in AI. how did all American value fall in just one month. Anyone not questioning this now, ai promise you is being blackmailed or is corrupt. \n\nThe bureaucracy prevents dictatorship. Now Trump is removing this. Just listen to project 2025. America is fully on track.

After seeing Donald Trump cozying up with the Russians. Ronald Reagan started spinning so fast in his grave you could put a generator and get unlimited energy. \n\nCause power cuts may be coming from Canada pretty soon ✌.

It will hurt Americans much, much more than Canadians. This is what you need to realize: Canadians are much tougher than Americans. The rest of the world backs Canada. We have your energy. More than 60 per cent.

Cut off all energy trade to the US. No tariffs, stop the flow of electricity, oil and gas immediately.

Well done Canada !!❤❤❤Start blocking usa trade and stop sending them energy, gas, and other basic resources.

That’s not the energy this yellow belly had when he flew to maralago . He’s very brazen

Holy crap! Trudeau, now that you’re about to go, you sound like a true leader! Wish you had shown this energy earlier—now I almost wish you were staying…

Trudeau can speak very eloquently and not get any results. The housing situation is a very big crisis and he almost resigned from the party and green energy regulations are not helping. At the very least Tarrifs will help Canada become stronger and tougher and self-reliant.

Never mind tariffs on energy - wait’ll Doug Ford flips the electricity switch. And Justin doesn’t really think your orange-hued leader is smart - quite the opposite. He’s just kissing trump’s a$$ because that’s what trump responds to …. because he’s really, really stupid. Something that Putin and Xi have always known.

How is he defending Canadian jobs? The whole point of tarrifs is to make it unprofitable for American companies to use Canada for things like manufacturing, energy and other natural resources.\n\nThe liberal government is who made us weak where we depended on the trade deficit in our favour. If we looked at tapping our resources and finding other markets, we wouldn't be so far gone.\n\nTrudeau's answer? EI? More taxpayer debt?\n\nHe's trying to use this situation to garner support from the public. We're screwed.

cut all consumer imports from the US. implement EXPORT tariffs on energy & minerals.

Why not tariffs energy export to USA? Why don't you export energy direct to Europe and bypass USA? It's more effective and lead to decline Trump's approval

Canada plays a crucial role in supplying energy to the United States, serving as its largest foreign energy provider. Here's an overview of Canada's contributions to the U.S. energy supply:\n\nCrude Oil:\n\nIn 2023, Canada supplied 60% of the crude oil imported by the U.S., amounting to approximately 3.8 million barrels per day. This represented about 24% of the total crude oil processed by U.S. refineries during that year. \n\n\nNatural Gas:\n\nCanada provided nearly 100% of the natural gas imported by the U.S. in 2023, underscoring its significance in meeting U.S. natural gas demand. \n\n\nElectricity:\n\nIn 2023, Canada exported approximately 33 terawatt-hours of electricity to the U.S., accounting for about 85% of U.S. electricity imports. \n\n\nOverall Energy Trade:\n\nThe total value of energy trade between Canada and the U.S. in 2023 was approximately US$153.7 billion, with Canada exporting energy products worth US$123.7 billion to the U.S. \n\n\nThese figures highlight Canada's pivotal role in supporting the U.S. energy infrastructure across multiple sectors.

I mean just cut off all energy supply immediately until he pull off the policy and sell it to other countries. US will find its own way out.

Wonderful to hear Canada's response to the bully Trump. President Trudeau response to global issues is measured, articulate and informed compared to the ignorant, bombastic self serving purposes of Donald Duck (AKA Donald Trump/ USA president) rants!!.\n Stand strong Canada, you have leverage (higher exports of power energies) to the US with your natural resources. In Ireland we recognize a huge differential between the morals of the USA versus Canada ( but some times get confused with the accents). I am with you Canada. Every best wish with your endeavors and thank you for supporting the EU.

MAGA nuts don’t care what Trump does , long as it helps their selfish interests. Most Americans love Our neighbors . Trump and Vance are not friendly people , they are basically Adolf and Himmler reincarnation from another time. A time of great racial hate and greed. All MAGA wants is cheap energy , food , and get rid of anybody not like themselves ……Trump encourages these low brow people promising to eliminate anybody who doesn’t agree with his base of voting power. Trump,fancies himself a King and wants the world to bow down to his policies. He is one of the, we are many , let’s not let Trump copy Putin s Russia.nightmare.

Canada should put a tax on the energy they export to the US.

We have our own energy and canadian whiskey sucks....\n Okay, your turn.

First and most of all!!!!!!!! He is PRESIDENT , trump !!!!!!! Second only Canada will truly be affected, u can raise energy and our president will subsidize it with ur tariffs

All of a sudden Trudeau is talking Tuff. He put Canadians in this predicament since he has been in office with his shitty policies and how he handled covid and lack of energy investments like fuel and gas. Focusing on wind mill power, carbon tax and God knows what else.

Just give them a pop up one day energy strike here and there let them experience no power for a day and have their corporates pressure trump to back out in his tariff.

Trump's plan is to be a dictator. Tariffs, lack of access to education, lack of affordable healthcare, lack of affordable housing, lack of access to nutritious food causes American's to focus their attention on basic needs Shelter and Food. When American's are repressed they don't have the energy to fight Gov't oppression. This is Russia and China's playbook. Canada and Mexico are being used to achieve this evil goal.

With tariffs being an import tax set up to deter local business from buying outside the country, then why put tariffs on american goods save for the 25% that goes directly to the Canadian government ? When we could keep prices down for our businesses and imports, it just seens to bump prices up for the microcosm of businesses and puts money in the hands of our federal government, but directly takes money out of contractors,businesses and so on....\nIf there are no contracts for instance with energy flowing to NY, why not bump the price 5% or 10 % ....
