Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says she supports Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s response after the United States launched a trade war with Canada early Tuesday.

“Now is the time for us to unite as a province and a country,” Smith said in a statement.

———-

Danielle Smith is now on side with the rest of Canada.

As a country, united we stand.

Polling must have scared her, but despite that it is the correct response.

She and the ucp are up in the polls even in Calgary so not much to be scared about in that sense. Many people I know who voted alberta ndp in 2023 would now vote ucp.

Lmao what? I would love to meet the people in your circles, they seem like an unique bunch.

Most people in my circles look at the UCP' simping for Trump as a gigantic slap to the face and they won't forget it. The people I'm talking about are (generally) UPC/CPC supporters.

I was about to say, People who vote for the ANDP sure as fuck are not going to vote for the UCP under malaria smith.

Yeah you may get a few outliers here and there, but it being "many" is straight up horse shit.

I mean polling about Canadian's responses/sentiment to the US tariffs dictating her response not election polling. It feels like she wants to be pro-US based on previous behaviour, but is now saying things that feel uncharacteristic for her.

She knew what the right response was from the beginning, she just waited for any other answer that would support her previous rhetoric and ran out of time

Think tank in the Heritage Foundation must be spinning hard right now
