The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

It means that Danielle Smith called morons like Ford in Ontario and told them to knock it off unless they wanted a really cold winter, which they did.

Yeah, in your warped reality. In truth, the people who you claim have no idea about their own economy made that decision. It's not in the hands of the premier of any individual Canadian province.

Alberta BTW has plenty of oil and why would they sell us less when they can easily pump more? They wouldn't.

They would sell us less because they have already realized that the United States is no longer an ally or a country that honors its commitments. They realize that they must diversify their international trade to ensure against the whims of a crazy bullying president who is completely detached from economic realities and views international relations as a zero sum game.

Try reading Mark Carney's speech in Davos last January. Maybe it will open your eyes to the fact that dependence on the U.S. has become a liability for Canada and they are making the necessary strategic adjustment. This didn't start with the latest breakdown in trade talks.
