I think she means "Fight" Canadians.
The sooner the Trudeau Liberals end their Occupation of Canada the better.

It's really not ending. The name is just changing to Freeland or Carney.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Change will come in the next federal election, if Canadian desire it.

Folks are going to love the Liberals, and their main candidates even more on 1 Apr when the carbon tax goes up 23%. Gas, heating, electricity (in non hydro provinces), groceries, and other goods will rise accordingly. The cost of fuel with go anywhere from 17 to 21 cents per litre overnight, with diesel rising as much as 25c per litre. Then there's those pesky tariffs to look forward to.

They were counting on Trumps tariff war to hide that. Wonder what they will use now that he hasn't imposed any.

Well look at his energy policy, if the US floods the market with O&G, Canadian O&G will tank, likely causing an economic recession in AB.

No reason why the US wouldn’t still buy much cheaper, thicker *WCS and refine it for domestic use and export its own WTL/WTI at a significant premium…otherwise it has to RECAP a significant portion of its refineries which will take time and cut $$$$ of profit.

Don’t know if I agree with your projected increases but agree with you BIG time on the increase in hate against Team Red.
If they were smart, the next Team Red PM would do everything humanly possible to get rid of the carbon tax before government folds . Yeah, I know, dare to dream, right?

So here is a common thread amongst a lot of politicians these days:
"we have to find new ways of raising revenue"
Hey PM, Premiers and Mayors - there's no new way - there's only the old ways - screwing the taxpayers. There is only ONE taxpayer - us.

They don't need to import oil thanks largely to the wonders of fracking....
United States produces more crude oil than any country, ever
The United States produced more crude oil than any nation at any time, according to our International Energy Statistics, for the past six years in a row. Crude oil production in the United States, including condensate, averaged 12.9 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2023, breaking the previous U.S. and global record of 12.3 million b/d, set in 2019. Average monthly U.S. crude oil production established a monthly record high in December 2023 at more than 13.3 million b/d.
The crude oil production record in the United States in 2023 is unlikely to be broken in any other country in the near term because no other country has reached production capacity of 13.0 million b/d. Saudi Arabia’s state-owned Saudi Aramco recently scrapped plans to increase production capacity to 13.0 million b/d by 2027.
Together, the United States, Russia, and Saudi Arabia accounted for 40% (32.8 million b/d) of global oil production in 2023. These three countries have produced more oil than any others since 1971 (counting production in the Russian Federation of the Soviet Union prior to 1991), although the top spot has shifted among them over the past five decades. By comparison, the next three largest producing countries—Canada, Iraq, and China—combined produced 13.1 million b/d in 2023, only slightly more than what was produced in the United States alone.

I agree they don’t ‘need’ to, but they were making a healthy profit on playing musical petroleum production. Take cheaper WCS from Alberta and crack it for domestic consumption, while they simply export West Texas Light and Intermediate for a healthy profit in international markets. Their domestically fracked oil isn’t 100% aligned with the optimum feed stock that much of the America’s current refining capability is tuned for.

I thought Carney and Freeland already said they were going to cancel the carbon tax?

After supporting it for over a decade? Yeah right. I'll believe them when they come out and say they were wrong and outline all the reasons why a carbon tax doesn't work. Right now they're just parroting polls not actually taking a principled stance.

Again I thought they already said that. I understand that it might be a political decision and not a principled one. Believing is a whole other matter. But it is not unknown for the Liberals to make significant shifts in policy based on electoral outcomes. Its something they get praised and criticized for

At a general level, I'll take them at their word, but I don't know if there'll be enough time between 1) either of them would have between taking office and having the government fall, and 2) the chance to eliminate the carbon tax. If it can be done without a vote in the House, odds are better, but if it has to go to the House, time will be the issue. Then again, a lot of folks think JS's "I'll move a non-confidence motion to axe this government" talk is less than 100% solid (to be polite), so that's the bit that bears watching/tracking.
