Joly’s response echoes a pitch made by Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who threatened in mid-December to cut off energy supply to the northeastern United States, should the Trump tariffs become a reality. Smith has staunchly opposed such a measure but said Monday that if Trump imposes tariffs, there will need to be a Canadian response.

President Donald Trump says he will be holding off on imposing the tariffs he’s been promising, allowing Canadian leaders to breathe a little easier. Trump has been threatening to impose 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods upon his inauguration on Monday which Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and premiers across the country have been adamant against.

Politics,” former Prime Minister Lester Pearson once observed, “is the skilled use of blunt objects.” Ignoring his advice, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has parted ways

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is back home. She is back home after speaking with all kinds of American politicians and other assorted big shots about why U.S. President Donald Trump should not hit Canadian goods with tariffs.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says while she doesn't want to assume anything after her meeting with U.S. president-elect Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago residence over the weekend, Canada needs "to be prepared" that threatened tariffs are on the way.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says Canada needs to be prepared for tariffs to come into effect when Donald Trump takes office, but cutting off the supply of oil is not the answer.

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.

Just a few weeks ago Trudeau claimed it was an affront to all women that Americans failed to elect Kamala Harris over Trump, to which Smith said. “We have a prime minister who keeps on poking his finger in the eye of the current administration and has damaged that relationship.”

Premier Danielle Smith said Albertans should expect incoming U.S. President Donald Trump to follow through on his plan to implement blanket tariffs on Canadian exports, something she said could prompt the province to fall into deficit and threaten Canada’s national unity.

The premiers are meeting with PM in Ottawa Wednesday to hash out what the country will do to counter Trump’s promise to levy tariffs

The threat of a trade war between Canada and the United States has put a long-dead pipeline project back in the political spotlight — with at least one former opponent now voicing support for the idea of shipping more oil through B.

Canada's premiers are meeting virtually with the prime minister today to talk about Donald Trump's early moves as president and the looming threat of tariffs.
