Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says he signed the joint statement between Ottawa and the premiers last week, unlike Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, because its wording didn’t conflict with his province’s position and he wasn’t aware at the time about Smith’s objections.
Smith refused to sign the statement, which covered the potential for retaliation in response to U.S. tariffs. The Alberta premier said she objects to federal officials’ continuing talk of cutting off energy exports to the United States as a possible response measure.
