Alberta Premier Danielle Smith responded on Wednesday to the barrage of criticism she's faced from across Canada for her recent diplomatic efforts and media appearances in the U.S.
During Wednesday's afternoon session in the Alberta Legislature, Smith said she's been unjustly criticized for her attempts to persuade officials that a trade war between the U.S. and Canada would be a bad idea. She defended her strategy, characterizing her actions as entering the "lion's den" to change the hearts and minds of Americans that Canada needs on its side.
"I will not be silent. Alberta will not be silent. We will not be pushed around and called traitors for merely having the courage to actually do something about our nation's and province's predicament, other than merely indulging in self-righteous tantrums," Smith said.
"Until this danger to Alberta and our economy is past, they're going to have to roll me off in a stretcher before I will stop fighting for this province and our people."

Might make a good governor
I WANT ALBERTA
They can have Western Washington and Oregon.
Thanks for posting that. She’s an excellent speaker and has a great mind - impressive.
I wish Canada had more like her in power.
Liberals should be sent to defend Europe from the Russian threat.
It is an amazing reversal of fortune between the US and Canada. When we had Obama they had Harper. Now we have Trump and they have the Boy Wonder.
**They can have Western Washington and Oregon.**
Don’t forget Pt. Roberts.
Propose a Trade:
To Canuckistan: ME MA NY NJ CT RI VT NH CA WA, OR CA (west of Cascade and Sierra Nevada and North of Orange Co in CA....
To USA Alberta, Manitoba, Yukon, Western half of NW Territory, Saskatchewan and a possible province to be named later
Not the Jersey Shore, we keep that.
I just love all this retarded talk about making Canuckistan a state, seems like there are a whole lot of people living in fantasy land.
We recently said au revoir to Boy Wonder and now dear leader is Banker marx.
Early days in election, Alberta bashing is a favorite of eastern Liberals (Laurentian elites as we know them).
The patience of Alberta is phenomenal, imagine if an eastern governor said “we don’t want western oil or gas and a pipeline is a non-starter with us.” Quebec politicians say it on a regular basis. I am surprised Danielle is not more direct about it. (eastern Canada sucks so bad you can hear a faint hum when the wind dies down).
No reservations w accepting Alberta as a State. When Canadian economy collapse, the Liberal Party may allow Alberta decide to join USA so that PDJT will relax tariffs on the other providences.
