In a recent statement, CUPE National President Mark Hancock bluntly accuses Danielle Smith and Kevin O’Leary of being “traitors” to Canada:
"Danielle Smith and Kevin O’Leary are traitors to Canada in the simplest sense of the word. They’re happy to sell out Albertan workers and Canadian workers as long as it means keeping the bonus cheques rolling for their CEO friends.
This isn’t the first time Danielle Smith has turned coat and crossed the floor, but as we saw in 2014, Danielle Smith isn’t exactly an expert at picking the winning side.
Meanwhile, Pierre Poilievre has been quiet as a church mouse when it comes to Mr. Trump’s attacks on Canada and Canadian workers. Does Mr. Poilievre serve Canadians, or is he just another servant for the billionaires and big oil like Smith and O’Leary?"
Europe will take your oil and syrup at market value. No problem.
As a Canadian living in the UK, the maple syrup sold here as A Grade Canadian Made… it’s watery pish. Absolutely not unadulterated syrup. And it hurts my national pride knowing that people here think that what they’re getting is the real McCoy…
In Norway we get diluted shit and pay a ridiculous price for it.
It’s pretty extortionate in the UK too.
