In a statement from Alberta Premier Danielle Smith just released on X, the Premier addresses President Trump’s decision to place tariffs on all Canadian goods. The Alberta Premier continues to show leadership in dealing with the US government over the tariff situation.
In the statement, she “calls on the federal government and our fellow provinces to immediately commence a national effort to fast track and build oil and gas pipelines to the east and west coasts of Canada, construct multiple LNG terminals on each coast, increase internal refining capacity, unleash the development of critical minerals, lower taxes, reduce red tape, tear down interprovincial trade barriers and re-empower provinces to develop our unique economies without constant federal interference and imposition of anti-resource development laws.”

Alberta will do… pic.twitter.com/2oUT0tO4kd
