The Conservative’s worst nightmare. A competent, articulate, intelligent woman with a sterling résumé – ask Rona Ambrose how Chrystia Freeland did on the free-trade file. If they put Andrew Scheer or Jason Kenney up against her in a future election, they better tie both hands behind her back to give them a fighting chance. And Mark Carney is just around the corner if she needs help. –In order for a Liberal to be an expert adviser on Alberta, all they need to do is be born there.
For decades the Liberal Party has pandered to Quebec and rubbed Alberta’s face into the dust. TMX will never be built. The “Wexit” crisis will not be solved until the Liberals are removed from power. –Dominic LeBlanc was the former minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, and if you can’t remember his accomplishments, it’s because there was nothing significant.
GlobeDebate this is a pre election govt showing the country a false sense of encompassing all the women issues and have not provinces with a stake in decision making . this is not a govt just a pre election ruse.
GlobeDebate Aaaaaah Guess what? Represent Alberta? Well Alberta doesn’t represent rest of Canada either.
GlobeDebate They know that Chrystia Freeland was raised in Alberta and her parents own a canola farm that was affected by the ban on canola right? 🙄 Abpoli Ableg
GlobeDebate
GlobeDebate Anyone who has ever left Alberta even on vacation is a traitor who does not represent this perfect province!!!
GlobeDebate Chrystia Freeland has ethics. She can represent me anytime.
GlobeDebate If by 'represent Western Canada' you mean 'placate Western Canada by acceding to its every wish,' you are probably correct. Why would she do that? Compromise and consensus are the engines of democracy, not foot-stomping and peremptory demands. ChrystiaFreeland
GlobeDebate Well then perhaps Western Canada should have voted to ensure having a say at the federal table.
GlobeDebate She represents BC just fine. Is that western enough for you? Stop lumping us in with the prairie folks.
GlobeDebate But. But. Only one reader said the thing quoted in the tweet. And this quote is contrary to most of the readers' comments. This crap is why the G & M can't be trusted anymore.
GlobeDebate So she may not reflect my party. But there are many Con. Representatives in Parliament who can speak for WC. Will JT n Lib. listen is a more appropriate question.
GlobeDebate I’m done with . Why are you trying to divide 🇨🇦?
GlobeDebate Also the media on the left and the right are both contributing to the division. What we really need is a third voice, a moderator in the conversation between those who disagree, but are by and large good people.
GlobeDebate Ab and Sask are NOT 'Western Canada'. Words matter. Do better.
GlobeDebate Chrystia Freeland does not represent the Prairies would be more accurate, as the Liberals hold no seats there. Any Liberal would qualify to that assessment. We in BC do not associate with Kenney's brand of divisive politics. cdnpoli
GlobeDebate Your readers made their beds.
GlobeDebate Tabloid
GlobeDebate Don’t include BC when referring to Western Canada. We want no part of Alberta/Saskatchewan separatist BS!
GlobeDebate Could you make the distinction or is your Geography knowledge that bad about Canada. I think there is one Province that is touting separation and that is Alberta and Alberta does not make up the West.
GlobeDebate The Honourable Freeland is not there to represent any part of Canada except her own riding that elected her. She is there to work with all Canadians.
GlobeDebate She does not represent Canada. Period
GlobeDebate Well then maybe western Canada should have used our brains and voted say a Sohi back in instead of corrupt Tim Uppal.
GlobeDebate Ya we love cafreeland so stfu
GlobeDebate She has spent more time living in Alberta than JK
GlobeDebate This kind of click bait headline is exactly why I subscribe to National Observer & not the G&M. Canadians deserve better journalism. cdnmedia
GlobeDebate Voters in Alberta and Saskatchewan chose not to elect Liberal candidates-these are the consequences!
GlobeDebate Pushing Russian narratives in order to wreck Western democracies... good for you Globe
GlobeDebate Sigh....of course globe platforms trolls instead of honesty in reporting to undermine freeland out of gate, no offense globe, but onus is on uou to ensure you are not reposting misogynistic morons, but thoughtful reasoned opinions.
GlobeDebate A) STOP saying the West, It is Alberta. BC wants nothing to do with it B) Ms Freeland was born and raised in Alberta C)Please stop pretending you support Canadians of all Provinces.
GlobeDebate I'm an Albertan and I'm also a huge cafreeland fan. I support her ethics, her leadership and I hold her in high esteem as a Canadian politician. She is the person I would most like to see lead this country and I feel she would bridge many gaps westerners have with the Liberals.
GlobeDebate Cowards at G&M, hiding your snark behind your readers. Nobody said Freeland “represents” the West. Nobody. Still glad I cancelled my subscription long ago.
GlobeDebate She obviously doesn’t represent western Canada because they voted out everyone that would’ve represented them...
GlobeDebate The West? I think you forgot about BC. We like Freeland out here. Alberta can keep spinning in their incompetent landlocked narrative but they are in the west, not THE west. Do better
GlobeDebate Globe and Mail making their readers look like morons seems like a bad branding choice.
GlobeDebate Interesting that you would say that and yet Kenney tweeting the opposite. Seriously G&M stop the crap-ass reporting and get your head out of the right wings ass.
GlobeDebate Surely ‘western Cda’ didn’t expect to be in Cabinet‽ They’re in the legislative Branch but in Opposition. That’s life, sorry.
GlobeDebate A handful Albertans don’t speak for four provinces
GlobeDebate
GlobeDebate It’s not her fault that no one in AB voted for someone in the party that would form the government. They got exactly what they voted for.
GlobeDebate No, she represents all of Canada, which includes western Canada.
GlobeDebate If the conservatives wanted to work with the Liberals and vice versa this problem of unity could be resolved easily
GlobeDebate This BCer loves her and your title is uneducated and lacking in good journalism! Oh and BC is the west, Alberta is the prairies!
GlobeDebate Western Canada has Jason Kenney.. don't cry for them.
GlobeDebate Define 'Western Canada', you conservative rag.
GlobeDebate Let's be clear, Alberta and Saskatchewan decided not to vote Liberal. Don't lump BC and Manitoba in the 'West'. Trudeau worked with what he has. And Freeland is one hell of a minister. Stop whining!
GlobeDebate I was born in Alberta too. She represents me a lifelong Liberal
GlobeDebate Neither does the Globe & Mail. You are the personification in print of eastern Canadian interests.
GlobeDebate Speaking as a Western Canadian (Albertan) I love Christa Freeland. She's intelligent, tough and no-nonsense. you can represent Alberta by keeping jkenney story about stealing our pensions and firing the man investigating him on the front page abpoli cdnpoli
GlobeDebate Sorry, JT couldn't find a whiny entitled aggrieved old white male to to represent the west.
GlobeDebate B/c Albertans were sucked in by the Ford/Kenney Klown Konservatives.. Yea ripe what yea sow baby!
GlobeDebate Maybe she could organize a coup to overthrow of the UCP fascists.
GlobeDebate Yes, we know. The Conservatives do and have for decades. Kenney does. How’s that working out for them?
GlobeDebate The best way to get parties fairly represented in all regions is ProportionalRepresentation Our current FPtP system means many Liberal voters in the West waste their votes, just like Conservatives in Atlantic Canada did in 2015. See FairVoteCanada:
GlobeDebate She has all the credentials to unite this country
GlobeDebate Globe chooses boooolshite from readers
GlobeDebate Last time I checked BC was pretty far west
GlobeDebate Your American owners don’t represent “western Canada”. cdnpoli
GlobeDebate cafreeland was born and raised in Peace River, Alberta. If people in Alberta and Saskatchewan wanted MPs in government they should have voted LPC cdnpoli
GlobeDebate Lol yeah. You tell the woman from Alberta she doesn't represent them. I expect it to go good places. Take video!
GlobeDebate Everybody in govt represent western Canada, eastern Canada, northern Canada, southern Canada and central Canada. Media should stop being so stupid.
GlobeDebate Western Canada has plenty of representation - in the opposition benches. The west made their choice and that’s where their representation lies. That’s how our democracy works.
GlobeDebate Is she supposed to?
GlobeDebate But the government has no MPs from Sask or AB. What do you expect them to do?
GlobeDebate I live west of “western Canada” and I’m pretty happy that Chrystia Freeland will represent Canadians wanting a safe, clean and kind future.
GlobeDebate Who says she doesn’t represent western Canada. She is a duly elected member of parliament whose duty is to do the best she can for all of Canada not just her own region. G and M get a grip.
GlobeDebate trudopewill slough off tough stuff to her
GlobeDebate More like Jason Kenny does not represent western Canada.
GlobeDebate This is rediculous and divisive headline. Nobody can be from both the east and the west. It is an imaginary meaningless line. BC is in the west but very different than Manitoba. Ontario in the East has nothing in common with Newfoundland. Do better G&M.
GlobeDebate FCK Them they voted
GlobeDebate I’m certain at this point liberals want the west to go away. They never have had any economical sense and being offended is all they know, so why wouldn’t they? The fairytale is very close to running out of other people’s money to grow the deficits with.
GlobeDebate Oh, nobody would. We already predicted that.
GlobeDebate If Western Canadians wanted representation in govt they should have voted for RalphGoodale and SohiAmarjeet. Stop whining. cafreeland is a bright, hardworking and accomplished Parliamentarian.
GlobeDebate Does the Globe and Mail understand how a parliamentary democracy works? No.
GlobeDebate Freeland doesn't represent Western Canada? Perfect. Because, guess what? That's not her job.
GlobeDebate I’m Albertan and I think PMJT’s cabinet is just fine.
GlobeDebate No one 'represents' western Canada except for Dictator Kenney.
GlobeDebate In essence Ab and Sk voted explicitly to have no representation.
GlobeDebate Does this imply a women to be Deputy PM has to be from Alberta 😳 give me a break ,she represents all of Canada and has earned that position. No one complained when she fought for our NAFTA
GlobeDebate No one represents Alberta, they elected no one but the UCP...
GlobeDebate Who represents the West? They were stupid enough to ensure they had no one at the table. Be careful what you wish for!
GlobeDebate
GlobeDebate Reese Witherspoon was in a charming, cute movie called Sweet Home Alabama. A romantic comedy; similar to this unfolding storybook. Magical, amazing..
GlobeDebate If I comment on this thread, will I be paid for writing part of their next “article”?
GlobeDebate isn't there a bunch of MPs from Alberta in Ottawa? Am I missing something? Aren't they representing Alberta? Why do the losers get to the playoffs? I knew not having winners in soccer games for kids was gonna lead to trouble.
GlobeDebate The Globe thinks we live in a tiny country like England. (Perhaps it is still dominated by Brits). It is the rare election that Canada delivers a homogeneous result, where all parties have representation in the six regions: ATL, QC, ON, Prairies, BC, Northern Territories.
GlobeDebate It’s funny that a “leading” newspaper doesn’t know enough about geography to realize that British Columbia is on the WEST coast of Canada, not Alberta nor Saskatchewan.
GlobeDebate She is responsible for a disastrous USMCA deal that gave Canada HIGHER DRUG COSTS AND LOSS OF DAIRY, and the mess with China, so why not put her in charge of a file you don’t care about like the West....!!!!
GlobeDebate she has zero fucks to give and the rest of canada feels the same way
GlobeDebate cdnpoli She represents all of Canada and so far the west is part of that but you represent an American hedge fund,Donald Trump & AmeriCons and not 1 Canadian,so none of your business Go home AmeriCon , the fatherland awaits you
GlobeDebate GOOD.
GlobeDebate More from corporate globe
GlobeDebate They had two cabinet ministers representing them before they went all-out in their koolaid drinking.
GlobeDebate Let's see now ... eloquence vs a broken record of whining & negativity ad nauseum. Who do you think Canadians would rather hear from?
GlobeDebate Why. How many Liberals were elected there.
GlobeDebate I guess we know which way the globe goes. Its sure not on the side of all Canadians. Harperites. Trumpists. Putinesks.
GlobeDebate Having read the first 10 comments maybe someone at the Globe can explain how they decide on their headlines. This in not an accurate or fair headline.
GlobeDebate Freeland is an imbecile, and definitely does NOT represent Alberta. albertaseparation WEXITALBERTA
GlobeDebate Maybe they should have voted for some Liberal MPs? 🤔🤷♀️
GlobeDebate Stupid teenager
GlobeDebate She is fabulous.
GlobeDebate Of all the comments in there you guys choose to put the most divisive comment as the title. I kind of hate how much attention the media gives to angry old Albertans.
GlobeDebate And your point? They didn’t elect anyone so..... you get what you pay for - they paid nothing so....
GlobeDebate Maybe the idiots living out here should have thought of that when they were voting.
GlobeDebate Chrystia Freeland is from Peace River, AB. Are they daft? Let's stop feeding the lies and tantrums and deal with their real issues shall we?
GlobeDebate I guess he should have chosen a member of the Liberal caucus from Alberta?
GlobeDebate You don't have to be a redneck to represent the West.
GlobeDebate Spare us the nonsense. You do not have to be conservative to represent western Canada. Mrs. Freeland was born and raised here in Alberta. Her family is still here.
GlobeDebate too bad there were no qualified candidates. FFS
GlobeDebate Why would/should she?
GlobeDebate Western Canada? Has Alberta not left yet. The faster they leave the better off Canada will be. We are all sick of the constant whining from the RWNJ running Alberta. Hurry the Fk up and leave! abpoli cdnpoli FascistKenney KenneyCorruption
GlobeDebate There is no coup or war that Freeland doesn’t love and promote. From supporting the neo-Nazi Ukrainian government to pushing regime change in Venezuela and Bolivia! Shame!
GlobeDebate Your bias and misogyny is showing
GlobeDebate FFS I wonder why you chose that ignorant quote for your lede 🙄
GlobeDebate If she negotiates the East/West divide like she did NAFTA2, then ....don your WEXIT ballcaps and t-shirts & grab your soon to be illegal gopher hunting pellet guns, boys.....we're going to war!!!! Canada cdnpoli CabinetShuffle Cabinet Liberals tuesdaytruths tuesday
GlobeDebate Trudeau's idea of problem solving
GlobeDebate Cabinet's supposed to represent the entire country, not just one region, so I’m not seeing what the complaint is.
GlobeDebate Chrystia Freeland represents Canada and did a fabulous job of it when she was Minister of Foreign Affairs.
GlobeDebate Not fair Prime Minister. Why didn't you let Kenney and Scheer chose your cabinet?
GlobeDebate why is justing face blurred,, i wonder if he went blackbody would the camera focus on him better like in his picture, dont look at him holding the booby
GlobeDebate She doesn't represent (or resemble) them in that she isn't a petulant whiner nursing imaginary grievances and an inflated sense of her own greatness.
GlobeDebate Pretending that all your readers 'think' at all is a real stretch. Some of them are Albertans and Saskahoovians.
GlobeDebate Trudeau cabinet
GlobeDebate Seamus is off the wagon and Bennett remains the Chief liar and colonizer
