Smith Warns Against Energy Tariffs | Edmonton News
Description
Premier Danielle Smith warns that retaliating against U.S. tariffs by taxing Canadian energy exports would be a national disaster, urging instead a focus on business relief and diplomacy with American lawmakers. While supporting federal counter-tariffs on other goods, she cautions that a 50% oil tariff could backfire — driving U.S. refineries to cheaper sources like Venezuela and hurting Canadian jobs. Her plan? Fast-track energy projects, boost interprovincial trade, and leverage the upcoming U.S. midterms to educate and influence decision-makers — all to avoid economic fallout and prepare for potential tariff reversals.
