This can double as an answer to Dollarama Andrew Tate above, but uh… yeah, they actually do have the ability to do that. Exports are federal jurisdiction. They simply don’t because it’s better to work with provinces than against them unless… of course… the premier is being a child I guess. So lucky us.

If you want another piece of evidence, might I recommend the Constitution Act?
Basically, Smith is all bluster. She has repeatedly spoken complete nonsense way outside of her jurisdiction this week and all she did was make Canada look weaker. She even lied about why she was going down to meet Trump so that she didn’t have to follow any of the government procedures involved and didn’t actually have to produce any evidence of what happened. Said she was on vacation, engaged in “diplomacy” she had no authority to engage in, and got to make up whatever story she wanted to make up about it. She likely embarrassed herself and, unfortunately for us, embarrassed Alberta… again.
She’s not sticking up for Alberta. She’s making us look like idiots. And even worse the people who clap for her.
