I would suggest that she has picked a side and it's not Canada
By repeatedly catering to the Alberta separatists she has shown that she's on their side

Alberta’s separatist leaders might be clowns, but the threat they pose with an oil-hungry administration in Washington is no joke.

Interesting, our former PMJT made a change that the banks cannot charge up to $50 anymore for overdraft fees/charges in March 2026, there will be a fee cap of $10 here, and no more than one per day and if the overdraft is less than $10, they can't charge anything. #Canada

Canada’s new methane regs are well-designed, but Alberta’s carve-out leaves the impact uncertain.
