First of all why is she asking people this? As a leader she should know the issues, and have the answers. Obviously she does not know, and should not be the leader/Premier. So she wants to wait another year to have a survey, and then start working on things? That sounds insane to me. With $60 oil, Danielle states Alberta's debt will skyrocket. Oil is heading to $40 per barrel. That's $50 billion dollars more debt PER YEAR than in 2024. When you add on the costs to finance that , you are looking at maybe $70 Billion deficit per year very soon. That is unstainable for such a small population. Then the separatists want to ad at least a trillion dollar loan, to leave Canada and service that debt. Where is all this massive wealth the separatist spew? Then she wants to wait another year for the people to tell her what to do about it. She is totally insane. Danielle, the worst Premiere in Alberta's history. Another survey, and another year wasted while nothing get's done? Please stop blaming everyone else for Alberta's problems. It is getting tiring. Danielle never says much that is correct. Like her ridiculous CPP rebate cheque. The way she calculated that was totally insane. Today she stated Ai would save Alberta's economy. She may not know it but Ai makes almost no jobs. It also needs massive energy and a good power grid, and Alberta's is ancient. That's why she is just a small time TV show host. Alberta's problems is as always, due to a bad Premiere, and she is the worst of them all. Dec 2025 Employment Insurance Recipients 67,520 UP 21.9% y/y Q3 2025 Net Migration 5,849 Down -86.2% y/y Dec 2025 International Merchandise Exports $15.6B Down -7.4% y/y Where do you see this massive wealth with $40 oil on it's way? Danielle states every 1 dollar the oil goes down equals a Billon dollar deficit. Rath uses $90 per barrel for his insane figures. 2025 prices averaged in high 60's. In the mid 50's now, and almost every oil agency in the world states it will settle around $40. If you add 20 or $30 billion more debt to Alberta's deficit per year, Alberta will die a very fast death. Add on a one trillion dollar loan, and the other costs to pay out Canada. Then add on all the new federal costs Alberta will have to assume. LNG will be over as BC/Canada will never let Alberta use it's plants, ports, and infrastructure to compete with themselves. If Canada does let a a new Alberta use it's existing pipelines, of course they will not subsidize them any more. They will expect to make a profit from them. So let's say they add on $5.00 more per barrel. Using Danielle's math that would add another $5 Billion annually to Alberta's skyrocketing debt every year. Can you explain to me where all this massive wealth that Rath and Wilson preach? Of course there are many other issues like business/jobs leaving. Equalization payments are not really and issue as oil plummets, especially with no LNG Equalization is based on high earnings, as Albertans make more money than everywhere else. If there are no jobs, Alberta may again start to get payments back even. Trump thinks Alberta oil will be good for USA reserves so he can just shut that down for 100 years, so what will that do to Alberta jobs , and deficit. If you ask people how they feel about Rath and Wilson begging for a trillion dollar loan...secured by Alberta's resources... "just to get started" , I wonder what they will say. She thinks Ai will save Alberta LOL AI needs massive cheap energy, and an up to date power grid.. Not strong points for Alberta with an ancient power grid. Ai also produces no jobs. Given the shape of Alberta, thanks to Danielle, I don't think equalization payments will be an issue, going forward. With $40 oil on it's way, Alberta may start getting payments. LNG will be over as BC/Canada will never let Alberta use it's plants, ports, and infrastructure to compete with themselves. If Canada does let a a new Alberta use it's existing pipelines, of course they will not subsidize them any more. They will expect to make a profit from them. So let's say they add on $5.00 more per barrel. Using Danielle's math that would add another $5 Billion annually to Alberta's skyrocketing debt every year.

This is what a leader should sound like, not like that halfwit Donald Trump.

That is what a leader looks and sounds like. In America they have an unsuccessful business man who should have been in prison a long time ago .I know who l believe. Congratulations Canada you have a great leader best wishes from the UK

That is how a leader speaks. Forgot what that sounds like

Who exactly is your enemy in this world? Leaders like Trudeau, Zelenskyy, Starmer, and most European leaders often sound like staunch supporters of AIPAC. Meanwhile, Trump negotiated with Russia and China to establish peace deals and broader economic opportunities that could benefit everyone. In contrast, these diabolical figures seem to be freeloading, using U.S. tax dollars to pursue their own agendas, targeting anyone who doesn’t align with them—including major superpowers. This isn’t America’s problem to solve. They refuse to admit that without the U.S., they have no leverage left to play with.

Real leader bro this how the us is supposed to be what happen to all the Great leaders in America did they move to canada cuz this guy sounds more american like what

Ha Donald this is what a TRUE LEADER LOOKS AN SOUNDS LIKE AN THE ONE THAT YOU WILL NEVER EVER EVER BE . Donald set back in the corner and lesson to true leadership is . We as Americans will always stand with Canada an YOU STAND WITH RUSSIA, North Korea an other dictatorship countries. The America people will stand TOGETHER AS YOU STAND IN THE CORNER BY YOURSELF STOMPING YOUR LITTLE FEET .

He finally sounds like a leader. Geez...it took long enough.

This is what a true leader sounds like. God knows we don't have one.

So this is what a rational intelligent leader of the nation sounds like. As a Vietnam veteran I didn't move to Canada during the Vietnam war but now it's starting to sound a lot better

Canadians sound like what we want our leaders to sound

Sounds like a leader of a civilized country. not some buffoon like Trump.

This is what a leader sounds like!

Trudeau sounds like a real leader. We have a circus.

Holy crap! Trudeau, now that you’re about to go, you sound like a true leader! Wish you had shown this energy earlier—now I almost wish you were staying…

Oh Trudeau... !!! ? Of course, he too has made some unfortunate decisions for Canada's state affairs over the past few years, but no argument THIS is what a serious, competent, bright world leader looks and sounds like!!

Every leader in the world sounds like a smart and intellectual person except ours we have a dumb limit vocabulary hot mess of a person representing only the racist,dumb crazy and rich group of us wow

He sounds like a real respectful intelligent leader unlike here in the US ass hole that can't make a complete sentence or without looking like he's on something.

This is what an actual leader sounds like and behaves. And I as a US citizen stand by this man, his words and his country's response to our hot mess of a government. We're going to suffer, but at this point I think we deserve every bit of it because our willful ignorance has thrown the entire planet into a tailspin of disaster. My genuine hope is that every single other democratic country turn its back on us immediately. Let the empire fall once and for all.

This is what a true, articulate, leader of integrity sounds like.. ? ?

Sounds like a REAL LEADER

And that folks, is what the leader of a country should sound like.

I'd almost forgotten what coherent, logical, thorough explanation from a political leader sounded like!

Hey America!! This is what a leader of people sounds like

I hope my fellow Americans in the United State hear this! This is what a leader sounds like. This was POWERFUL!! I'm so embarrassed. This is completely insane. Frump, look what you're doing!!

This American, who's been proud to be one all his, life (but not so much these last few weeks)stands with Canada, Mexico, the UK, Europe, and the besieged Ukraine, and I do not support's authoritarian rule and and stupid, ego-driven economic wars with our neighbors and allies. Trudeau is what a real leader sounds like.

This is what the leader of a nation sounds like! ❤

Trudeau is on his last days as Prime Minister for a reason, but this at least sounds like a real leader. Donald, take note.

THIS is what a leader looks and sounds like. F Dump and everyone who voted for and still supports a true piece of human garbage. Apologies to humans and garbage.

This is what a REAL world leader sounds like. I don't wish I was Canadian, I just wish we had a leader that wasn't a complete immature, imbecile.

Not for nothing this is what a real leader sounds like.

His best speech in 9 years. Sounds like a leader!

I’ve been stuck in the US for so long. I forgot what a coherent leader sounds like.

fentanyl czar sounds like the leader of a Florida trailer park drug ring

That's what a real leader sounds like. Ariculate, to the point and truthful. Take notes donald.

This is what a leader sounds like. Trump talks like a second grader at best. I'm embarrassed of our current leaders to say the least

I’m Canadian. My family have always been Liberals but I’m not much of a Trudeau fan myself. For today, it doesn’t matter whether you like the man or not, Trudeau deserves a standing ovation for his speech and the actions he is taking. That’s what a leader of a country should sound like and react like. It’s going to be a tough road ahead for us but together we will pull through this. Stay strong my fellow Canadians, we got this. ❤

Trudeau sounds like a great leader. I will USA had a leader.

OMG this is what a REAL leader looks and sound like. You go Trudeau!

Trump compared to every last world leader isn’t even close. Imagine Trump sounding anything like this or speaking with such eloquence. Our President has to be the dumbest person on earth

Crazy to see how relations have broken down between our two countries and sad for all my great American friends and thanks for your support but anyone with half a mind could see this coming. So many Americans, even republican voters, now waking up to the cold reality of a treasonous, mad president allied to a Russian mad man, isolating the US from the rest of the world. He was basically elected to repaire the economy. Ha! Nice going you orange freak. The stock market is crashing like a Trump casino. You bankrupt two casinos and now you are doing the same to America. Oh! and I hope you're listening to Trudeau's speech, this is what a real leader sounds like. CANADA STRONG AND FREE!!!

Justin, where were you in the last few years?? Now you sound like a leader! Give him Hell!! Cut the power going south if required. I don't care at this point.

Washington State resident USAmerican citizen here. I love my many Canadian friends and neighbors. I will continue to speak and work for truth and justice, against the insane lies and damaging actions promulgated by our president and other horrible, greedy people who are destroying the good in my country. Thanks PM Trudeau, for modeling what a statesman and leader sounds like. DT won’t care, but perhaps some of his supporters here will.
