Nelson: Mark Carney should beware Danielle Smith

1 week ago | ca.news.yahoo.com | Chris Nelson

Will Alberta Premier Danielle Smith follow her own slogan or will she continue to be a thorn in the side of the federal government? (Credit: Gavin Young)Perhaps it could have been worse for Alberta, though heaven knows how. Even a Liberal majority government would have been better than the razor-thin minority mandate the Grits received in Monday’s federal election.

Nelson: Calgary should ditch Tories if they lose again

4 weeks ago | ca.news.yahoo.com | Chris Nelson

Today, the countdown begins on the federal Conservative party’s future in Calgary. Our city has long been the bastion of Tory support across this country. But how long are we supposed to keep voting for what looks increasingly like a bunch of losers? Unless current Leader Pierre Poilievre manages to use tonight’s English language debate to successfully reboot a prime ministerial campaign in which he recently seemed a virtual shoo-in, then maybe it’s time to cut them loose once and for all.
That didn't last long

1 month ago | cochraneeagle.ca | Chris Nelson

That didn’t last long: the very suggestion Canada would rapidly start building things again, to help wean ourselves from worrying US dependency. It was always a non-starter given the deep-seated opposition to any such change of policy across our country, no matter how sorely needed. But come on: couldn’t the mirage have lasted at least until the federal election was done?

Guest column: Canadians are high rollers in spending on U.S. goods

1 month ago | windsorstar.com | Chris Nelson

One Canadian is worth seven Americans. No, this isn’t some desperate descent into Trumpian, cross-border name-calling, but a factual look at how much the average Canuck spends on U.S. goods compared to an American neighbour splurging on our exports. And here’s the eye-opener: It isn’t even close. Not surprisingly, our politicians here in the Great White North haven’t managed to figure this out. Maybe math is hard in their line of work, after all.
Nelson: Team Canada will use and abuse Alberta

1 month ago | ca.news.yahoo.com | Chris Nelson

Premier Danielle Smith has been steadfast in her refusal to allow Alberta oil to be used as leverage in the trade war with the U.S. (Credit: Jim Wells)Alberta’s oil is Canada’s trump card. Premier Danielle Smith must prevent it from being played. Fortunately, whatever other reservations folk have about our premier, when it comes to sticking up for this province, she’s displayed a backbone of steel. She’ll need it more than ever in the weeks ahead.
