REBEL ROUNDUP | Alberta's tariff response, Trump's Mexico exemption, Carney's special treatment
Published 1 year, 1 month ago
Description
Today, we're looking at Premier Danielle Smith and Alberta's response to U.S. President Trump's tariffs — something Smith described as a “betrayal” following her negotiation efforts with the Americans. The premier also said the province was looking at a legal challenge of the tariffs.
Plus, Trump announced Mexico would be receiving an exemption on all goods under the existing USMCA trade agreement until April 2. Could a similar deal be in the works for Canada as well?
And finally, Liberal front-runner Mark Carney is apparently receiving special treatment from the party, being given a briefing on tariffs by Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly while the other contenders — much less other parliamentarians — have been kept in the dark.
