Alberta Urges Tariff Pause Before September | Calgary News

Alberta’s Premier Danielle Smith is sounding the alarm, urging Ottawa to halt retaliatory U.S. tariffs set for September 8th—warning they’ll spike costs and wreck supply chains, risking a full trade war. While Prime Minister Mark Carney defends the federal response with targeted support for Canadian businesses, Smith insists diplomacy must resume before damage escalates. Not everyone agrees: Saskatchewan’s Premier Scott Moe backs Ottawa’s move despite $1.5 billion in U.S. imports at risk. As tensions simmer, provinces are split—Alberta prioritizes jobs and stability, while others stand firm. The clock’s ticking on avoiding economic chaos.
