If that's a win, I don't want to see what loosing look like.

[SasakiRenner]

Oh then she's probably just loving Trump's speech this morning about even more reciprocal tariffs. What a joke, please, please, get her out of our province!

[jocelynelavigne]

The only positive thing about all of this is Canadians are getting more involved in politics, so maybe there is a real chance that we will get rid of politicians like Smith and Poilievre because they have their own agendas and don’t truly care about Canada!!!

ford kissed trumps ring, and now he sings the trump tune

Why is she putting such a positive spin on this. It’s a major net loss and this unstable “genius” will just threaten more when the urge arises.

[shpeen]

Canada took a huge hit and she calls it a victory. Get this woman out of politics

[andyanderson]

She should keep her mouth shut before he reacts.

It's not a win. It's the best of a bad deal. No surprise given how she supports Trump. I'm embarrassed to have Danielle Smith as my premier.

[EmekaObi-dq]

Not a win for Ontario, or Quebec, or Manitoba, or BC, Maritimes don't seems to happy... Who won ? If that's a win for PP and Smith.... the rest of Canada will see you at the polls.

[elypevets]

Danielle should just move to Texas and call it a day. Not a true Canadian

[tallpaull]

Danielle is still a Canadian? How is this possible?

[lewisduffy]

Smith needs to tell that to the hundreds of thousands of workers in the auto sector facing a 25% tariff. Oh right, she doesn't care about any other province than Alberta...

[trex]

For Danielle Smith, what ever Trump does is always a win..another poodle dog for Trump!

[scribbler]

Smith taking credit for this is like someone taking credit for the sun rising in the east.

Her desperation is palpable.

[rondaniels]

TSX isn't calling it a win.

Danielle is pretty much a female Ted Cruz at this point.

[ScholteimReinbachIII]

She literally asked them to stop laying on more tariffs because it was hurting her boy Pierre. You know, the guy she said really aligns with Trump's ideas for the future? Request for interference aside, fighters who create their own opportunities get called to the table like Ford was. Submissive flatterers don't. She's the "it could be worse, therefore it's a victory" person.

Is Danielle Smith trying to take credit for this, seriously???😂😂

[karenhammer]

Well SMITH is not a win for ALBERTA and CANADA. She needs to call an election because ALBERTA doesn’t want her anymore.

[doncarr]

Her oil price just crashed too . Smith isn’t a leader she’s a loser

[TyreseMcD]

Smith clearly doesn't have the education prerequisite for her role...
