Smith Rejects Tariffs on Oil Exports, Citing Harm to Canadians

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith expressed her reservations about imposing tariffs on Canadian oil exports to the US, calling it an emotional rather than logical decision.

She acknowledged that some premiers have suggested this course of action in response to trade tensions with the US, but argued that it would ultimately harm Canadians. Smith emphasized the importance of maintaining a 'Team Canada' approach and resuming trade talks with the US before considering counter-tariffs.
