OTTAWA — As Alberta Premier Danielle Smith worked rooms in Washington, D.C., on Monday morning, welcome news broke that President Donald Trump wouldn’t immediately slap a 25 per cent tariff on Canadian goods, a move that would have devastated Alberta’s oil and gas industry.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — As thousands rallied against incoming U.S. President Donald Trump with a “peace tank” on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith flew in to a chilled, subdued inauguration, bringing a message of “unprecedented opportunity.”

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says while she doesn't want to assume anything after her meeting with U.S. president-elect Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago residence over the weekend, Canada needs "to be prepared" that threatened tariffs are on the way.

Canada’s effort to push back against possible US tariffs is being undermined by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s pledge to fight federal plans to cut or tax crude exports to the US, Canada’s natural resources minister said.

After weeks of concern, confusion, calls for unity and subsequent dissent, Canada is receiving clarity on U.S. president-elect Donald Trump's threats to enact widespread tariffs on Canadian imports on his first day in office.

Despite U.S. President Donald Trump's apparent decision to delay imposing tariffs on Canadian goods, Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Monday he believes a trade war is coming — and that he needs a "clear mandate" from voters to wage it.

U.S. President Donald Trump did not make good on his threat to slam Canada with punishing tariffs the day he moved back into the White House, but it's cold comfort to Canadian political leaders and business groups who say tariffs could still be on the horizon.
