Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has been under fire for apparently betraying Team Canada when it comes to the threatened tariffs from President Donald Trump. But despite Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stoking Canada-Alberta divisions,

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Thursday singled out Alberta Premier Danielle Smith as being the only provincial leader to act against Canada’s national interest, after she refused to sign a statement supporting the country’s approach to incoming U.S. president-elect Donald Trump’s threat of tariffs.

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.

Trudeau and 12 of Canada’s 13 premiers agreed to form a united front and pledge that “everything” is on the table in a potential tariff war with Donald Trump.

EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is calling for a joint Canada-U.S. NORAD base in northern Canada to bolster Arctic security. Smith says she pitched the idea at a recent meeting with fellow premiers and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

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.”

The one major exception occurred during the prime ministership of Pierre Elliott Trudeau, Justin Trudeau’s father. In 1980, the elder Trudeau was returned to office after a brief spell in opposition.

The race to replace Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is now set, with former central banker Mark Carney and former Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland the two biggest names to have declared their candidacy.

OTTAWA — After Premier Danielle Smith fell out with provinces and federal Liberals over asking Alberta to bear the cost of using oil exports to fight U.S. tariffs, a new Postmedia-Leger poll shows most Canadians agree that no province should have to bear an unfair retaliation burden.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is stepping down after almost a decade in power, setting up a leadership battle in the G-7 country. Central American nation offers closer cooperation on migration and security while seeking to ease U.S. fears about Chinese influence over the Panama Canal.

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.

Smith telling Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Alberta will not go along with restricting or taxing Alberta oil going to the U.S. is not something that’s out of line.
