Smith’s ideas for Team Canada are different than other premiers, who are calling for more unity in negotiations

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is slamming Alberta’s refusal to sign a joint statement on the plan to respond to Donald Trump’s tariff threats, saying Premier Danielle Smith is not putting Canadians first.

Canada’s effort to push back against possible US tariffs is being undermined by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s pledge to fight federal plans to cut or tax crude exports to the US, Canada’s natural resources minister said.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith visited Mar-a-Lago, the Florida home of U.S. president-elect Donald Trump, on Saturday. Smith confirmed the visit in a social media post Sunday morning, in which she said she and Trump had a "friendly and constructive conversation."

Jason Kenney took Alberta in directions past Progressive Conservative leaders never dared to, while Danielle Smith rose to leadership by repudiating Kenney's COVID management — and he did his share of rebuking her Sovereignty Act idea.

If the president-elect imposes 25 percent tariffs on Canadian goods, Ottawa may cut off energy supplies or impose its own tariffs.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Wednesday the country's leaders must put Canada first and forcefully hit back against president-elect Donald Trump if he goes ahead with punishing tariffs on all of our goods while also singling out Alberta Premier Danielle Smith for her reluctance to go all-in on retaliation.

The premier of Canada’s oil-rich province of Alberta says she would not support any move to stop energy shipments to the United States as a way to combat U.S.

EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s office has released an official itinerary outlining a five-day diplomatic trip to Washington, D.C., including the presidential inauguration on Capitol Hill on Monday.

The government is preparing for the possibility that the incoming U.S. administration will impose high tariffs on Canadian goods, setting the close allies up for a showdown.

Trudeau blasted Smith, reminding her that the federal government bought the Trans Mountain pipeline, which now has a C$34.5 billion price tag, giving Alberta its only route to export oil from Canada’s Pacific coast.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is not wrong on this one. Let’s clear the air. Let’s have a real debate, not a contest to see who can cook up the most insulting email. The sad reality is a lot of Canadians don’t get it or refuse to get it.
