Smith and Ford Unite on Energy Policy Amid Ongoing Tariff War

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Ontario Premier Doug Ford are set to hold a joint meeting in Calgary to discuss energy policy. The two leaders will focus on finding ways to get Canada's natural resources to market, despite fluctuating global politics and conflicts.

Smith has made energy a central part of her government's agenda, particularly the need to transport more oil to the British Columbia coast and from there to markets in Asia. This comes as Canada navigates an ongoing tariff war with the United States.

Ford has publicly stated that he disagrees with Smith's stance on not using oil as leverage in the tariff battle with U.S. President Donald Trump. However, both leaders agree that more oil needs to flow within Canada.
