Labour Unions Call On Canada to ‘Hit Back Hard’ After Donald Trump Launches Unprovoked Trade War Against Canada (pressprogress.ca)

In a recent statement, CUPE National President Mark Hancock bluntly accuses Danielle Smith and Kevin O'Leary of being "traitors" to Canada:

"Danielle Smith and Kevin O'Leary are traitors to Canada in the simplest sense of the word. They're happy to sell out Albertan workers and Canadian workers as long as it means keeping the bonus cheques rolling for their CEO friends.

This isn't the first time Danielle Smith has turned coat and crossed the floor, but as we saw in 2014, Danielle Smith isn't exactly an expert at picking the winning side.

Meanwhile, Pierre Poilievre has been quiet as a church mouse when it comes to Mr. Trump's attacks on Canada and Canadian workers. Does Mr. Poilievre serve Canadians, or is he just another servant for the billionaires and big oil like Smith and O'Leary?"

The important part is to not stop until it actually can have an effect. Cut off the oil in 18 months so inflation skyrockets before mid terms.

If anything is resolved now, it will only encourage shenanigans again after US midterm elections.

Europe will take your oil and syrup at market value. No problem.
