Smith Pushes Diplomacy Amid U.S. Tariffs | Calgary News

Alberta’s Premier Danielle Smith is doubling down on diplomacy amid rising U.S. trade tensions, vowing 100% tariff-free trade through dialogue—not threats—after Trump announced steep new tariffs on Canadian goods. While Ottawa holds off on retaliation, Smith shifts focus at home, replacing fuel tax relief with a $100 rebate to directly boost Albertans’ wallets, with more oil price support decisions expected soon. She’s also rethinking seniors benefits, lowering the income threshold and pushing for reforms to ensure aid reaches actual taxpayers, not those relocating for perks they didn’t pay for.
