Alberta's Premier Danielle Smith has issued a sharp warning to Liberal Leader

"He doesn't understand the kind of battle he's starting with our province," says Premier Danielle Smith regarding Liberal Leader Mark Carney.: Alberta's Premier Danielle Smith has issued a sharp warning to Liberal Leader Mark Carney. Currently in Halifax, Carney is showcasing his Captain Canada persona.

"We are united. It's essential that we take care of ourselves and each other." When asked if export taxes could be a consideration in the ongoing trade tensions with the U.S., the implication is clear: he's being questioned about a potential Liberal government under him imposing taxes on Alberta's oil and gas exports. The response?: Direct and piercing. "It's an option. So is regulating the flow of oil and gas to the U.S." Premier Smith is furious. Carney fails to grasp the implications. Or perhaps, more accurately, he fully understands what he's doing.: His goal appears to be undermining Alberta. Here's Smith, not holding back: "I've made my stance very clear," the Premier asserts. "Alberta will never consent to an absurd and harmful export tax on our oil and gas sent to the United States.": Smith is just getting started. "If the Prime Minister and Liberal leader continue to overlook Alberta's concerns and press forward with extreme environmental policies, such as production caps or discussing export taxes on oil and gas, then I must emphasize: he has no idea what kind of battle he is initiating with our province." Consider those words carefully. He truly does not understand the fight he's provoking with Alberta.
