Leaving the call with Carney, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said point blank that withholding energy is "not going to happen."

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe has also flatly rejected the idea of using potash and energy as a leverage point and Quebec Premier Christine Fréchette said she's "not there."

Withholding the things the US needs badly enough to exclude from tariffs is exactly what we should do.

Canadian oil is produced by private companies. 90% of oil is sent to the US.

Its a huge leverage point but it would absolutely devastate the canadian economy to do that.

We arent trying to self immolate here.

Many of them American companies, or Canadian branch offices of American companies.
