Mark Carney is no ally of the oilpatch, says Alberta Premier Danielle Smith as she calls for election

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith wants the new leader of the federal Liberal Party to change its approach toward the oil and gas industry and its environmental policies.

Mark Carney won the Liberal leadership on Sunday evening with an overwhelming majority of the vote of party members.

On Monday, Smith re-iterated her calls for an election to be called so a prime minister is in place with a mandate from voters across the country.

Make Alberta America

For weeks, President Donald Trump has said that Canada should be America’s 51st state. He has mocked Canada’s economic dependence on the United States. He has condemned Canadian tariffs and trade restrictions. He has scolded Canada’s free riding on American defense. He has knocked Canada’s porous borders and drug dens. He has accused Canada of colluding with hostile foreign powers and global institutions. He has trolled our prime minister.

It’s delightful. Many Canadians are enjoying the show.

You want some good news.

MORGAN: Trudeau will sacrifice the West in a battle with Trump

Canada is lurching toward a trade war with the United States unlike any it has endured before. While President-elect Donald Trump threatens tariffs as high as 25% on Canadian goods, Prime Minister Trudeau appears determined to inflame the situation by implying American bigotry is the reason Kamala Harris lost the presidential election. Trudeau has treated the situation seriously enough to travel to meet Trump in person on short notice, but the meeting doesn’t appear to have been productive.
