What do you call a Canadian political leader, in the age of Trump, who seems to put their own interests “ahead of the country” in the matter of Canada-U.S. relations?
It depends on the province, and it depends on its particular interests. If you’re Premier Danielle Smith in Alberta, and the particular interest is oil and gas, and you really lean into it — “Our province is no longer agreeable to subsidizing other large provinces who are fully capable of funding themselves,” she said last month — you get called a traitor and a quisling.
