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.

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.

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.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says Alberta Premier Danielle Smith understands why Canada's political leaders need to be united in the face of U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff threat, and he believes the country's premiers are "moving her along" in her position.

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 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.

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

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, who attended the news conference virtually, refused to sign a joint communique and instead issued a blistering statement online. Smith said that there was a constructive discussion at the meeting, but she can’t back everything that is being discussed.

I was in Alberta speaking to many people, primarily in business and academia. Although my evidence is anecdotal, there is overwhelming support for Premier Danielle Smith’s approach to the Trump tariff .

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s refusal to sign the joint statement in which all other provincial and territorial premiers agreed to a co-ordinated response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s threatened tariffs on Canadian exports significantly undermined Canada’s bargaining position,
