yes, I agree with this. I think she should have been quiet, and taken a package to the ROC with demands in exchange for keeping export tariffs on the table as a discussion point.
Actually using them would then be a whole different package.
In hockey terms, she should have asked for two first rounders just to not say what she did. Then if they actually want to put tariffs on, she would ask for 5 first rounders.
This also assumes that Alberta would get ALL of the revenue created by the oil export tariff.
