‘Harder to stomach’ Premier Notley says Trump attacks show need for Trans Mountain

Jun 13, 2018 | 6:42 AM

CALGARY – Premier Notley says the Trump administration’s recent attacks on Canadian trade show how necessary it is to go ahead with the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.

She has taken aim at what she called reckless U.S. moves against Canada’s steel and aluminum industries.

Notley told the Global Petroleum Show in Calgary that Canada needs to be strategic with its resources and not put all its eggs in one basket.

The Premier also took a few good-natured jabs at the Americans in the crowd, sarcastically lauding their bravery for coming to a country that represents a national-security threat.
