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.

Wow she REALLY got some work done. Must be tough competition between her and Noem for who best gargles trumps sack.

Thank you for this. As a single mom of 3 kids in their 20’s I am shocked with the seeming hypocrisy in our country right now. Those who have deflect and blame trump for all our problems. We need to stop blaming and start paying attention to what really matters - our own citizens who are suffering.

Thank God for Donald Trump. I really hope all you other countries get it figured out. All these mofuckrs need sent back home.

Discuting! There is family who were in Québec for 2-3 years and learn french, have a job and there children go to school and now are afraid to be deported! It is unfair because they were in a program who said that come to Canada and you will have citizenship if you adapt to our country. We change the rules in middle of the program!!! Those people left everything to come to our country! It's an honor for us that they choose to come here. We need people for specific jobs and send them back??? That is looking like Trump manner!!! We should be angry and ashame of the way liberal treat those people!!! We live in a really crual world! Where are our humanity and empathy??? There is a lot of good people who come here to have a good life and be good citizens. I met an young woman from Ukraine and I said to her: I love Ukraine! She jump in my arms and put her head in my shoulder!!! That is a moment I will never forget...

Trump will be gone soon. Things will go back to normal. The only reason why I will not go to the USA is because I don't feel safe down there anymore. Canadians just have to wait until a Democrat is president again if they really need to go there. I would rather go to another country for vacation. Plenty of safer places to go.

Really why are we not asking Poland, Argentina and USA how they reclaimed their country, Trudeau and WEF, end of story...do we analyse how the house caught fire, in the house while it burns us to death, or do we get out and call the successful fire dept, like Argentina, Trump and Poland. So tired of asking why, isn't it obvious

It's quite understandable when it seems overnight Canada is invaded by Indians from India! What happened? Did the Canadian borders opened wide for the Indians to march in, or were the immigration staff permanently zonked on marijuana and didn't notice or just couldn't be bothered with stopping them over the last 3 to 4 years? Maybe. But really, the problem was definitely created by that despicable moron Trudeau( who even Trump could say to him in his face when he knelt and begged Trump not to hurt Canada with his tariffs, Trump just say ok if you agree to let Canada be the US's 51 st state!). He must have suffered from a terrible serious attack on his mental faculty and zonked on chanting Hari Krishna simply allowing his goons in charge of immigration to approve to let in that tidal wave of Indians especially in the last 4 years! What to do now? While we hate Trump for what he's doing to Canada on tariffs, Carney should give good thoughts to adopt actions like Trump's ICE GOONS to deport those who entered Canada illegally, and stop extension of visas to the zillions admitted on temporary work visas, and the tens of thousands of students who registered as "student" on student visas in private unregistered/approved institutes in name, but are actually working in various jobs illegally e.g. construction, etc.

Problem is the people keep electing liberal progressive woke making policies against its own people. Till people wake up you all going to the drain. We here in US at lease hold the line for a while with Trump in office hoping the next one will continue his fight for his people. Canadians are the one to blame and not this politicians. Elbow up huh??? You really don’t know how Trump trying to save North America and recalibrate it for the goodness of its people living in it.

For the leaders of free countries, such as Mr. Trump and leaders of the European Union, England, Canada, Australia, including those of Central America and South America, Mexico is a country adrift here an average of 80 people are murdered daily and women disappear and we do not really know how many there are, the government led by Claudia Sheinbaum, manufactures reality every day, all Mexicans know that they allied themselves with the cartels, the national guard and the armed forces only act or are trained for when the time comes for a total COMMUNIST coup, please do not believe in the Mexican government anymore, they are people with Hate and fanatics of a very cruel Satanic Communism.

Really wish Pres Zelenskyy had the courage to treat Trump like this instead of caving. How cd he trust Trump who wants to help that murderous dictator instead of Ukraine?

I think that Trump thinks that those tariffs look so good on paper, but have no idea how it really works. There is a difference between running a business and a country.

I thought trump would be different this time around. I was really hoping for his success, but not more than two months into his presidency he fired the very people that voted for him around the board. He crashed the stock market. He became Putins puppet, and he showed the world what a bully is like.

Im really glad countries are sticking up for themselves and working together to stop the bullies ( Trump and his gang ).

Lol, what a dummy. Doesn't her know that that doesn't work that way? Sure go ahead and go for it, america accounts for almost 80% of Canada's total goods and service exports ? what makes this even more worse for Canada's prime minister is the fact that they recieve just over 60% of imports from guess who.... the United States. Where as america has the ability to stop all trade to canada all together, be just fine with the reserves we have. While increasing trade import and export with another country we already do business with, making them very happy in the process and still making huge savings in the process. When 80% and 60% of your exports and imports respectively. Consists of literally sharing its only common border with the united states would mean a complete scrap of the total infrastructure since they would hace then compensate through sea and air through the arctic and distances of 10x of what they are used to. Then it starts to make sense as to why trump wants Greenland. Look this it just a bluff by the Canadian prime minister that supposedly resigned not long ago but his tyrant ass don't really wanna leave. Plus, you really think dude can make up for all that loss and go find it through another contry? Hahaha? yeah okay good luck with that. Canada shoukd ne disappointed in the man even more. He's not for you, he's for himself and the best for him and the other lobbyists. ???

Oh how he Loves the righteous Drama. He is really going to make all the best he can out of this. Awwwww Yes Pleaaase more Dramaaa Ohhĥhhhhh ?\nBefore saying how trump is evil blablabla as a fact without actually explaining anything. Why don't you, Trudeau, start by explaining. Maybe you don't want people to Actually understand anything. You just want to make the best of out the potential drama and self endulge in the ego feeding and self righteousness.

Many years ago, Trudeau helped the Trump administration to backlog Ms. Meng Wanzhou, the daughter of Huawei's CEO. Now Trump wants to increase tariffs on Canada. This was just a few months ago. After Trudeau visited Trump, Trudeau was really embarrassed. No wonder Xi Jinping said Trudeau was very naive. It seems that there is a reason.??

Trump and Putin really scooping the Nazi Swamp of the Globe

The title is misleading. I thought he actually went to the USA and confronted Trump in person, but apparently not. This doesn’t really count. Come on, Trudeau! Go face Trump! Anyone can give a speech nowadays it seems. it takes a real leader to confront him. At least Macron, Starmer and Zelensky had balls to face trump.

Wow, Trump is making some huge progress for the USA, in less than a month he has upset more countries, of which were mostly allies of America, and turned them into anti Americans and all in less than a month, and he calls that progress into making America great again .. maga ? Really or maybe it stands for making a globe angry. There’s only a very small handful of people that actually like Trump, that’s his family (debatable) JD (his puppet) and Putin (his new ally) wow America what have you done ??

Looking at this from FInland, I really appreciate Trudeau's strong stance on this. He's addressing Donald, but I think he's also speaking to the American people.\n\nA question came to mind - people talk about allies, but who does Trump see as an enemy? Has he been asked that? Something makes me think that in his head the actual enemy is people in his own country...

Im not even an american but i know what trump is doing, all Americans who believe justin and what he is saying about trade war and he said usa will lose doesn't understand how things work.. You really believed your government didn't study this?

Not a very good speech. Over 90% of drug traffic reduction in 1 month, which really proves what Trump said. US official knows that significant reduction, yet, they still impose the tariff. Why will you still spend so much money to help America if they do not appreciate? Grow a pair!!!

Americans really love Canadians. You are our family. Most of us don”t understand Trump”s plan either! We are sorry! Don”t give up on us please.

I am shocked by the turn of events. Are really Americans who vote for Trump ok with getting along with Russia? I thought their dislike of Russia united them across political divides

Unfortunately, i think that trump (he does not deserve un upercase) dreams of becoming like putin. All that he is doing, everything in his language and actions screams dictator. I think that putin dreams of having the entire Europe to himself and that trump will actually want everything around the USA which includes ofc, Canada. That was their deal. I don't understand why americans are standing by just watching things unfold. It will not get better, this can only and will get worse. Sooner than they think they will find themselves trapped under these people, with no rights. It is really hard when you are already there to actually go back to democracy.

I think Trump doesn't like Trudeau and this is why he is really doing this. Hopefully with new leadership the tarriffs will be lifted.

Trump has really the potential to ruin America. America will most likely ending up as North Korea. Mexico, Canada and even China seems to turn towards Europe. America government have always been trouble and I think they should be isolated from the rest of the world. And Nato should be cancelled and Canada, Mexico and Europe should build a new Alliance with Canada, uk or Germany taking on the mission as leaders.

¡ I really hope CLAUDIa Sheinbaum (MEXICAN PRESIDENT) answers So clearly and assertively to the TRUMP'S agressions against our NATIONS !

Trump is the mediator of the Russia-Ukraine War, he's not on Russia side...he's really not on either side...he just wants peace and to stop the bloodshed. Because of Trump and only because of Trump, the war will end.

Sotty trump called these reciprocal tariffs ? Was Canada impossing tarrifs on America before this?\n\n And fentanyl ? Really a drug that , after a quick google, appers to be approved by the Federal Drug agency , yeah go figure that one

Trump cheated his way into office. He openly admitted to rigging it. What can everyday people do against a government we didn't even really vote for and that doesn't follow actually rules or laws???

trudeau suggesting his meeting with the king is out of context with modern reality\na shared interest in historical ties with england\nwe all know england has a very dark past of savagery and inhumanity and of course religious intolerance\ninhumanity on an unbelievable scale\ntrump would be honered to have participated in englands past\ntrudeau should chose his words more carefully\nits not possible to make a case for humanity whilst including a very dark relationship with jolly old england whom by the way is stuck in its gory past\nthese tariffs will not effect those who are imposing them mostly they will affect those already struggling\nso again trudeau is not really making a good case for humanity\nin fact it looks more like a willful and willing game of tit for tat with trump\nwhile the only injured will be the poor\nit looks more like trudeau is in partnership with trump and putin aligned against the poor\nhow can any one call this good diplomatic strategy while the politicians stay high and dry\nwhile the poor are left damp in spirit\ntrudeau is no political genuis unless his real pact is with trump albeit still no genuis simply a coconspirator against the turf by the aristocracy which of course england by all means claims for itself with its castle slash dungeonary past\nthe cries of many still ring out across the green rolling hills of england even after a thousand years\ntyrants they are\nengland shall never escape its past

I cannot believe that Trump indicated in his speech that Canada sends the US disgusting and dirty food. REALLY. Canada has health inspections on everything. Trump is a liar and makes things up as he goes.

Trudeau is speaking truth to power, and he is clear as glass that this mindless alienation of Canada is going to rebound on Americans. Teudeau is a REAL LEADER. Unlike one in Australia. Every Aussie PM cows down and boot licks for Yankeeland. Neither major party could ever really stand up to Trump the Dumb Dump if he hurt our economy. Limp lettuce government that is so America dominated down under, where I live.

Trump really knew how to pull his trigger.

Truly a testing time across the world. Imagine if everyone could put differences aside and fight the problems that really matter, together. Trumps tariffs have a deeper root than many of us can reach.

“Make America great again”this is a slogan for Trump , but now Trump is making America shameful again, this is a horrible situation, the lighthouse of freedom for the world is falling by Trump. This is a tragedy for the US and the world. We really hope things will get better four years later.

I am an Proud American and I really do not understand the choice you have made President Trump.

Just a year ago, this guy was mocked by everyone for not being a man. But today the comments treats him as a real sigma? Trump has really changed the world's evaluation standards.

He behaved like a politician, all emotional knee jerk reactions are from upper grass mongers , sadly majority in the society are filed with such people. \nDevil is always in the details. His local reputation is not good and to loose upcoming elections , to divert and shift focus, this is an attention diverting tactics to shift attention and make him look like a hero. \nIf he really cared for his people, he would have either prevented it by aggressive backdoor talks or, or if this happened without his awarness then he could have spoken privately to Trump to sort it out in the real interest of his own nation, cut the ego for Good of his own people and an sort it out , why he did not do it ?\nNow by publically engaging and directly targetting, he has achieved two things 1. temporary fame as majority of people are upper grass mongers are emotional but no attention to details 2. He spoiled further his relationship with Trump administration by this public spat, rubbing him on the wrong side, spoils future of his own people. Diplomacy is done by maturity not by ego.

What are the tariffs about? Really!!! You can't figure it out? Let me spelt out in simple syllables. Donald Dump is ONLY interested in HIS own power and wealth. No other single person or group has any importance to Dump. That includes the economy, the federal government, and individuals like Musk and Vance. Look out Musk and Vance, at his next funky, wavy, wobbly brain fart Donnie Dump might throw you under the bus, like he has done for millions of Americans who have lost their jobs and lost the benefits they deserve and some must have to continue living.\nDump Trump!!

I'M REALLY CURIOUS HOW DONALD TRUMP BRAIN WORKS BERNIE SANDERS SHOULD KNOW SINCE THEY ARE THE SAME GENERATIONS....

People from the USA will pay the price for all this but Trump doesn't care because he considers them as slaves to him and his rich friends. As for Vance and his comment about war... Hey Vancy boy...wnaan talk about war? Really? USA got his arse kicked in Vietnam, Modagishu, Irak and Afghanistan. The only war they had some success with was against the weak Germans during WWII and they would have never been able to do it without the Russians. And let's not forget that they almost got defeated a few days after D-Day. This, because of..... bogs! So get here Vancy boy and you'll see what Canadians are capable of. Besides that, you need us more than we need you and you automobile's economy (among many others) is going to crash just because of you and Trump. No more electricity for you, no no more gas, no more oil, no more lumber, no more aluminum, no more alcohol sales and the worst part...no more maple syrup! Besides that, almost everything sold by the USA is coming from China, so why bother buying from the USA when we can buy the same for cheaper?

This tariff war makes no sense. Trump is an evil idiot. The Musk -Trump administration is really trying to destroy the quality of life for most Americans, probably to force us into destitute situations that they and their cronies can exploit.\nAlso, Trump is playing jnto Putin's hands so easily.

Ask yourself why Trump is destabilizing the United States? Who benefits from that? When you answer those questions, you know who he really works for.

What is Trump’s ultimate goal ? Is he really doing this on his own without any advice? He seems to be picking fights with everyone. He hates China ??, now Canada ?? and the Ukraine ??. Something is not adding up

trudeau all you have done for Canada and Canadians in 10 years is try your best to destroy us. Why should we believe anything you say. How many $ billions have you embezzled? The worst thing is you gave iot to fake agencies overseas that looks like money laundering. NOTHING for Canada or Canadians. I'll steal your words to trump. This and you are REALLY DUMB!

Why don't u kiss trumps ass like u kiss the bum from Ukraines ass giving him money instead of canadian army you liberals really screwed our country
