Former Alberta energy minister Sonya Savage says it's almost impossible to divine U.S. President Donald Trump ’s precise intent with the threat of tariffs and talk of annexing Canada .

Savage: “I don’t know if anybody 100 per cent knows the end game.” Some think tariffs are all about a show of strength ahead of renegotiating the whole CUSMA treaty, up for renegotiation next year .

President Trump 's brand of chaos is calculated to let his government rapidly push through an agenda, says UCP minister.

Canada shouldn't spend the next four years “worrying about every outrageous thing that President Trump says,” she says.

“New governments that want to get things done really fast have a very, very aggressive agenda, a change agenda, and multiple things have to be done all at once.”.
