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.

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 prime minister hailed "unanimous" consent on a possible response to U.S. tariffs after a meeting with the premiers, but Alberta's premier says she can't sign on to the plan.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says that if the Canadian federal government imposes an export ban on Alberta oil going to the United States as a retaliatory measure against expected U.S. tariffs it would precipitate a “national unity crisis.

A joint statement from Canadian premiers pushing back on Trump tariff threats did not include the signature of Alberta's Danielle Smith. CBC Alberta editor and commentator Jason Markusoff says Smith’s ‘Alberta first’ approach isn’t being embraced by all Albertans.

Outgoing Canadian PM Justin Trudeau took aim at Alberta Premier Danielle Smith for her stance on retaliatory tariffs should US impose them.Trudeau was speaking a day after the first ministers’ meeting in Ottawa,
