The survey, conducted by Nanos Research for CTV News and The Globe and Mail, found more than two-thirds of people in the Prairies support putting tariffs on oil, natural gas and electricity.
“Well, I think it’s a garbage poll,” Smith said at an unrelated press conference on Tuesday.
“What if we were to ask Albertans or Canadians this: ‘Would you support export tariffs if it meant the U.S. would retaliate by shutting off Line 5 and leaving Ontario and Quebec without gasoline or aviation fuel at all?’ I think you’d get a different answer.”
I do hope so. It’s so hard to tell these days.
You can tell I’m not very good at thinking like Danielle Smith because I called it the “fossil fuel industry.” In fact I am known to hold extremist views, such as that we should stop using oil and gas.
