Smith was on CBC this week and she was asked if by sticking up for Alberta she was undermining the ability of Canada to deal with the Trump tariff threat. Smith says blocking Alberta oil headed for the U.S. or the Canadian government slamming a tax on that oil is something she would fight.

Canada's Energy and Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson said on Wednesday any response to U.S. tariffs would be regionally fair and equitable and would not target Alberta, Canada's main oil-producing province.

No Canadian has been more visible, more strategic, and more on-the-ground on the U.S.-Canada tariff file than Alberta Premier Danielle Smith. You don’t have to like her approach to recognize that she has been enormously successful in securing an in-person audience with decision-makers in the U.

Canadian goods. Smith, stressing that this country needs to work on addressing trade barriers to limit reliance on the U.S., said Canada is dealing with an “unpredictable president” who should be taken seriously when he demands his neighbours step up border security and contribute its fair share to national defence.

The Alberta Premier’s efforts to prepare for a trade war with the U.S. have been more self-serve than public service

The largest exporting province rejecting a ‘Team Canada’ approach against Donald Trump doesn’t position the country well to negotiate with a second Trump administration.

Prior to Trump's inauguration, Smith travelled to the president's Florida home to advocate for Alberta's interests in response to the tariff threats.

Boy, it is a good thing Alberta Premier Danielle Smith didn’t listen to the self-styled smart set. It is a good thing Smith stood her ground and ignored the voices telling her to sign on to Team Canada and forget about standing up for Alberta and the oilpatch.

U.S. President Donald Trump says he will be holding off on imposing the tariffs he’s been promising, earning praise from Alberta Premier Danielle Smith.

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.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has complicated ongoing negotiations with the U.S. after newly inaugurated President Donald Trump set a date to impose tariffs against Canada. Smith told reporters at a Tuesday morning news conference the focus should be on diplomacy and ending talks about retaliatory tariffs.

Canada’s outgoing prime minister and the leader of the country’s oil rich province of Alberta are confident Canada can avoid the 25% tariffs President Donald Trump says he will impose on Canada and Mexico on Feb.
