Bell: Smith slams 'willfully blind' and 'ignorant' critics of Alberta
'We're feeling like the biggest threat to our economic survival is Ottawa, is continued Liberal-NDP policy like we've seen over the last 10 years.
'If they channel a little bit of their fear of Donald Trump to understand the trepidation of Albertans then maybe we'll get somewhere.'
So Trump isn't the biggest threat?
'There is absolutely greater fear that the Liberals and their NDP supporters are going to continue with the same devastating policies. That is what you're seeing Albertans react to.'
Why are many not getting it?
Smith is not offering them any excuses. None.
'I would call it wilful blindness because Alberta is such a big contributor to Confederation that I guess out east they don't like to be reminded of that over and over again.

'We never technically said we would elbow anybody': The imagined thoughts of Mark Carney's elbow
Article content Prime Minister Mark Carney's slogan during the April federal election was 'elbows up.' The hockey reference was intended as a pledge of defiance against tariffs and annexation threats from the United States. Article content Instead, Carney's U.S. strategy has consisted almost entirely of concessions and even deference. And on Thursday night, all it yielded was a new threat by U.S. President Donald Trump to slap blanket 35 per cent tariffs on Canadian imports. Article content Article content Article content Article content Monday Article content The slogan was 'elbows up.' Not 'we're going to hit you with our elbows.' Or, 'I'm intending to use my elbows defensively.' The promise was only that we would proverbially elevate our elbows for an unspecified period of time, and for no declared purpose. We never technically said we would elbow anybody. Article content Keeping all this in mind, I think you'll agree there has been no inconsistency in the strategy. The Government of Canada has pursued a course with the Trump administration that, at times, has involved the raising of elbows above their usual relaxed state, which would indeed be an 'elbows up' approach. Article content Tuesday Article content I would remind everyone that the National Hockey League officially considers elbowing a penalty, with the act warranting punishments as severe as game misconducts, fines and suspensions. Article content Article content As a government committed to the rules-based international order, we obviously would never condone a violent and inherently menacing act such as the bellicose use of an elbow. Article content Article content And, as stated, that was never the intention. If you check Mr. Carney's rhetoric on this account, I think you'll agree he was mentioning elbows mainly as a means to demonstrate the articulative quality of the human arm. Article content Elbows up, to my read, was only ever a friendly gesture of greeting in which the speaker is demonstrating the functionality of their joints as a symbol of their own flexibility. 'See how my arms bend, foreign state, they are the arms of someone who will peacefully bend to your own appeals.' Article content Wednesday Article content I feel uniquely qualified to assure the Canadian people that Mr. Carney has certainly made full use of his elbows in attempting to resolve the current impasse with the United States. Article content At the G7 summit in Kananaskis, I was employed to deliver a friendly nudge to U.S. President Donald Trump, along with the comment, 'Hey Donald, you like Mount Bogart over there? What if it was Mount Trump?' Article content After phone calls between Mr. Carney and the U.S. leader, he will often lay his elbows on a table to cradle his head for hours at a time — I assume to ponder a new genius tactic. Yes, this truly has been an elbows-heavy response to one of our greatest national crises. Article content Thursday Article content Despite everything, I think we can all agree that Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre would have completely and utterly folded in the face of aggressive U.S. trade policy. Had he won in April, my least pessimistic estimate is that by now he would have surrendered at least two provinces and one great lake, and he would have appointed Rudy Giuliani as Governor General. Article content I need only point you to his public statements: No mention whatsoever of elbows, knees, digits or any other body part. Mr. Trump is a man who deals best in the tactile world. Any failure to open negotiations with at least one reference to the corporeal form is, frankly, akin to immediate surrender. Article content Friday Article content Last night's developments are certainly not what we'd hoped for, but it's all part of the process. We fully planned for this: We would unilaterally cede to perceived U.S. demands, the Americans would respond with another round of ruinous tariffs and vague grievances, and then we'd cede some more. This is called bilateral diplomacy; it's a messy process but it ultimately arrives at a place of mutual benefit. Article content

Lorne Gunter: If Trump forces end of Canadian supply management, good riddance
Article content Remember when the Liberals were adamant they would never give up their digital services tax (DST)? Article content Article content But the way the government went about doing away with the DST made Prime Minister Mark Carney look weak. So weak, it's only a matter of time before Trump comes back looking for more. Article content The safe bet is supply-managed agriculture will be next. Canadians should be grateful. Article content In Canada, all but the smallest, artisanal agri-food businesses are controlled by government-backed marketing boards that decide who can produce — and more importantly sell — milk, cream, butter, cheese, yogurt and other dairy products. Eggs, chicken and turkey are included, too. Article content Article content Price controls and import restrictions are also part of supply management. Some dairy products, for instance, are protected against imports from the States and EU by tariffs as high as 300 per cent. Article content It's a good deal for supply-managed producers. It protects them from competition and ensures they received stable prices without much risk. Article content But it's a bad deal for consumers. Economists estimate the average Canadian family pays $400 a year more for dairy alone. Article content There's another problem, too. Milk supply is heavily skewed toward drinkable milk. That makes the price of milk for producers of, say, special yogurts, too expensive. So consumers have fewer choices. Article content Supporters of supply management claim it protects farmers' incomes, making it unnecessary for governments to subsidize their livelihoods, as they often do in the U.S.

28 Palestinians including children killed in Israeli airstrikes in Gaza
DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israeli airstrikes killed at least 28 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, including four children, hospital officials said Saturday. The children and two women were among at least 13 people who were killed in Deir al-Balah, in central Gaza, after Israeli airstrikes pounded the area starting late Friday, officials in Al-Aqsa Martyr's Hospital said. Another four people were killed in strikes near a fuel station, and 15 others died in Israeli airstrikes in Khan Younis, in southern Gaza, according to Nasser Hospital. The Israeli military said in a statement that over the past 48 hours, troops struck approximately 250 targets in the Gaza Strip, including militants, booby-trapped structures, weapons storage facilities, anti-tank missile launch posts, sniper posts, tunnels and additional Hamas infrastructure sites. The military did not immediately respond to The Associated Press' request for comment on the civilian deaths. Hamas-led militants killed some 1,200 people in their Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel and abducted 251. They still hold 50 hostages, less than half of them believed to be alive, after most of the rest were released in ceasefire agreements or other deals. Israel's offensive has killed over 57,000 Palestinians, more than half of them women and children, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. The ministry, which is under Gaza's Hamas-run government, doesn't differentiate between civilians and combatants in its count. The U.N. and other international organizations see its figures as the most reliable statistics on war casualties. U.S. President Donald Trump has said that he is closing in on another ceasefire agreement that would see more hostages released and potentially wind down the war. But after two days of talks this week with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu there were no signs of a breakthrough.
