Carney's Tariff Stance Sparks Caution from Alberta and Quebec Leaders

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's decision to retaliate against new U.S. tariffs has received widespread support from provincial leaders, but Alberta and Quebec are taking a more measured approach.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith expressed her firm stance that the province's oil reserves should not be used as leverage in trade talks with the U.S. She emphasized that this would compromise the security of Canada's energy supply.

Quebec Premier Christine Fréchette echoed similar concerns, warning that mutual retaliation could escalate tensions and lead to further economic instability.
