Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says the federal government’s refusal to rule out energy export cuts as part of its response to the U.S. president-elect’s looming tariffs is ill-advised and infringes on provincial jurisdiction.
Smith made the comments during a Jan. 13 virtual press conference where she was asked about Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly’s comments on energy cuts a day earlier. Joly said Canada’s response to the 25 percent U.S. tariff threat could include cutting off energy exports to the United States.
