Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says she does not plan to retaliate against U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat of a 50 per cent tariff on Canadian goods with an alcohol ban.
She told her call-in radio show a ban is an extraordinary measure, and she is leaving it up to retailers and consumers to decide how to stock their shelves and whether to drink American products with the looming tariffs.
Get daily National news
Several Canadian provincial liquor boards stopped purchasing American alcohol last year in response to Trump’s previous tariff threats and annexation comments.
While Saskatchewan and Alberta returned American booze to the shelves after a few months, major purchasing provinces like Ontario and Quebec have not resumed stocking U.S. alcohol.
It has become a pressure point among both political parties in the United States.
Smith says she prefers to stay calm and win the hearts and minds of Americans instead of retaliating with an alcohol ban.
Danielle’s turds are smarter than a liberal
alot of you elbows up boomers that already destroyed Canada are out with your dumb comments .. not everyone in Alberta supports men bum sex a subject in schools and being over ran by immigrants with i see the word “bully” i know its a elbows up snow flake. . not everyone support communist liberals and China
this gave me the idea to run down the the corner store and buy some American alcohol
Ok ,finally we have a smart premier that realizes the booze ban doesn’t make no difference either way . It should be left to the customers if they want to drink US booze or not .
If Smith has her way we would become 51first state she loves Trump she is just like him
Tired of Loud Dumb People
Maybe Canada should create their own version of ICE and kick out all the wannabe Americans.
Premier Smith doesnt have time for the childish games the other premiers continue to play. Ford and Canoe owe canada an apology.
Trumps Dickie Licker!!
Smith doesnt understand how to beat a bully because she is one. You need to incrementally show all others you are strong not complicant. To convince others you are right. The MAGA bunch, like Smith, only see your fails and deminish your wins. We are not punishing alcohol producers we are showing Trump hurts them like he hurts us. It’ been 80 plus years since Trump’s idol tried to rewrite European boundaries and the allies stood up to him, US included. Trump and Smith obviously learned nothing from history
Plenty of Maple MAGA in here today trying to defend Smith and her snuggles with Taco.
Danielle stood out in the rain in Washington and made Tamara Lich proud.
LOL
Hey dumb Dave:
Tell us how a ban on gut rot hurts Canadians. Methinks you’re weird.
Walter pretends to speak for American distillers, saying they don’t care. LOL.
That’s why they are lobbying so hard eh?
What’s the point of your post again?
@Roy Thurman:
You speak for yourself only.
Smith’s numbers are sinking and Carney’s growing.
Enjoy.
Of course not. She’s a trumper.
This is Alberta. We have a low population of Elbows Up morons. The majority of Albertans realize our economy and Canada’s economy relies on the USA and no deal with China will replace the billions of dollars in trade we do with the USA.
Booze makes up 0.016% of total US exports to Canada. Nobody cares in the USA except for a few dozen distillers that saw their income drop 5% to 10%
The alcohol ban is childish and unprofessional policy which only harms Canadians just like Canadas entire response to Trump has been
The useful idiots lap it right up.though
It’s not about winning the hearts and minds of Americans, it’s about one man only, a man that’s determined to inflict as much pain as possible on Canada. It’s time to hit back hard, being nice gets you nothing with this poor excuse for a human. Danielle Smith is not a patriotic Canadian, but more like another Maga Trump minion.
Alberta still not realizing that they’re the laughing stock of Canada is getting funnier by the day.
D Smith go move to the US and KISS Donald Dumps ass (Trump) . And for that person talking about immigrants running this country,you were all f immigrants at one time, living on stolen Native Land think of that. And also for D Smith,go the hell back to your mother country you are poisonous to my country
Miss B.
A guy with an empty truck is just looking for a load in the rear. You can tell from the one licence plate. It’s a no-brainer.
Taking it in the rear is normal way of doing business in Alberta. That’s why their deficit is 20 billion dollars in a booming economy with an ocean of oil. She should go run a casino into bankruptcy. 15 dollars off every barrel doesn’t pay the rent.
TRUMP 2028, make Canada great again. Nobody here will.
Why Not?????? Do not bow to bullies!!!!!
next time i go to buy alcohol i will buy American for sure
Smith does not want to speak for Alberta. So we will. Do not bu US booze.
Danielle Smith is only out for herself. She cares nothing for the people of Alberta, and is one of the weakest examples of a leader to date. She holds the province down so the 1% can get rich, and hasn’t increased minimum wage in more than 10 years. She lines her pockets making deals for herself, not for Alberta.
Cue the ineffective TDS. You’ve had your 10 years of Liberal govt. where’s the prosperity?
its funny reading the comments from you elbows up snow flakes. the liberal way is attack in a coward way. you idiots sure love your bum sex and being over ran by immigrants . but hate anything that is not communist with a creepy twist, i know allot of you elbows up boomers don’t have to worry about getting a job or even buying a house, ,you are only worried about your self as usual ,its about your pensions being cut off, i think smith is doing a great job. i hope Alberta separates
Smith says she prefers to stay calm and win the hearts and minds of Americans instead of retaliating with an alcohol ban.
That says it all “ Governor smith prefers to benefit Americans over Canadians “
We know who side of the trade war the separatists governor is on . Governor smith needs to be investigated for treasonous actions . What about winning for Canadians governor smith?
Governor smith promised at the beginning of the trade war that she would stop supporting America by taking booze off the shelves . Then she lied about it and continued to order more. Who does she work for Canadians or trump ?
Most likely the trump regime is pulling the strings of separation cause Governor smith isn’t bright enough to pull it off on her own
Go away governor smith , take your American booze with you , go back to your tariff king . Such a shameless coward not to take American booze off the shelves
Traitor to canada
Governor smith uses the trump playbook , she gave her campaign buddies a 300 k referendumb contract . Wonder what trumps America is giving the seperatists? Governor smith changed the referendum rules so now governors smiths seperatists don’t have to disclose where their money comes from . This is organized treasonous behaviour. Maybe the fn chiefs are correct
Governor smith is trumps personal pipeline to the white house. Governor mo is no better in Saskatchewan. Governor smith is anti Canadian pro trump American of the wanna be 51 state . Canadians don’t need a lier anti Canadian separatists champion at the negotiating table.
So who is sucking off who
She’s weak when it comes to Trump but doesn’t mind being tough with Canada, who’s side is she on. Having tariffs put on for forced labour in Canada is a joke.Canada has always been a leader in Human Rights and instrumental into the formation of the UN. But Danielle Smith just takes it like a sponge rather than stand up!
And each week, as soon as her radio show concludes, Marlaina flies (on the taxpayer dime) down to MaraLardo to gargle orange marbles. She would go to her homeland of Russia, but the cost might raise a few eyebrows.
Typical Trumpette excuse. Only answering to the ones that bought memberships to keep her in power.
Of course not; why would she bit the hand that feeds her?
THIS C U N T NEEDS TO G O !!! HOW MANY PAIRS OF KN EE PADS DOES SHE OWN ?
