Alberta’s Smith doubles down on diplomatic approach as U.S. tariffs expected Feb. 1

EDMONTON – Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is staying the course on her diplomatic approach to try to avert punishing tariffs from U.S. President Donald Trump as a new deadline looms.

Trump said late Monday he is thinking of instituting 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods starting Feb. 1, rather than on his first day in office.

Smith is doubling down on her efforts to address Trump’s main irritants, including beefing up border security and boosting military spending.

We’re better off following her lead than idiot Trudeau’s path.
