For over a year, Canada has worked intensively and in good faith with the United States to negotiate a new comprehensive trade deal. We have been pragmatic, patient, and persistent. Our goal has always been to get the best deal for Canadians, never a deal at any price or on any time frame.

Another year, another record high for Canadian oil & gas production. Record shows the federal Liberals have actually been good for Alberta's oil sands industry. Good to disabuse people in Alberta of this myth. But also, hardly a compliment of the Liberals. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/02/06/o...

Justin Trudeau never killed the oil and gas industry
The former prime minister's supposed hostility towards Alberta's defining industry is an article of faith among Canadian Conservatives. The facts tell a much different story.
