Smith said that all of the premiers and even former prime Minister Justin Trudeau were encouraging one another to get as much facetime as possible with any U.S. representative who would listen, working towards a “Team Canada” approach.
She explained that everything changed when Carney became prime minister.
“Now, all of a sudden, it is treason to talk to American media personalities that we disagree with. It is disloyal to try and persuade high-profile Republicans holding influence with the President to abandon his tariff policies on Canada,” said Smith. “Indeed, it is a high crime to try and convince U.S. officials to refrain from imposing tariffs until after our country has an elected leader with a strong mandate.”
Smith equated this mindset to the talking points pushed by both Carney and Nenshi.
“Their endgame is quite obvious. Frighten and divide Canadians. Try and make Canadians forget the utter incompetence of Liberal and NDP policies inflicted upon this country over the last ten years. Associate Conservatives with President Trump,” said Smith, adding that their tactics could result in another Liberal majority government if they play their cards right.
