    Many are hoping that Canada will get special treatment, particularly on oil.

    Didn’t Trump impose tariffs on Canada during his first presidency? Pretty sure he’s going to do it again.

    Albertan politicians can celebrate since they get paid in bribes from the US oil industry. The well-being of their province is irrelevant to them.

    Canadian conservative voters already vote for the party that is directly responsible for their issues.

    E.G. rural BC, suffering from the US being allowed to just import raw logs(so no more local sawmills) voted overwhelmingly in favour of John Rustad and his conservatives. Rustad was forestry minister when that deal was signed and is directly responsible for the issues that plague rural BC.

    Moreover, the federal conservatives created NAFTA that disallows us from stopping the export of something unless we dont have any more, so the NDP couldn’t stop the raw log flow now if they wanted to.
