This Crown Royal decision rhymes with another headline you may remember: Brookfield Asset Management’s move to re-domicile a subsidiary in New York.
In the tariff crisis of 2025, Canada tested its mettle, and the result was revealing. At the center stood Premier Danielle Smith, who chose steady, substantive leadership over juvenile posturing and theatrical bravado. Ottawa’s Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta NDP leader Naheed Nenshi indulged in overly-inflated martial rhetoric and fear-driven posturing.
Well-meaning Laurentians should think about leading by example. They should consider building a Canada that Albertans and all Canadians, including the gullible “elbows-up” folks, would be proud to belong to.
