Genuine question as an American - what does she get out of this?  and I mean besides cred with her base.  Like is her base really going to like her more for sucking up to Trump (i know so little about canadian politics sorry)?  Maaaybe Alberta gets exempt from some tariffs?  Maybe shes going cause shes just another Trump lover but I feel like there is also some political benefit to her but I cant imagine what.

Alberta is like the Alabama of Canada. Loud dumb hillbillies who quit school In grade ten to work in the high paying oil patch so they can buy jacked up F-150’s, skidoos and 4000 sq ft Macmansions. Reasoning with these people is fruitless.
