  • In a year-end interview, Smith reflected on pressing issues and said her next steps will be revealed in the government's budget, set to be tabled on Feb. 27.

The article discusses Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's alignment with former U.S. President Donald Trump's views on border issues, particularly in the context of a trade dispute involving dairy products. Smith has expressed concerns over the U.S. imposing tariffs on Canadian softwood lumber and dairy, which she believes unfairly targets Canadian industries. She has criticized the Biden administration for not addressing these issues effectively, echoing Trump's sentiments about protecting domestic industries from foreign competition. This stance comes at a time when Canada and the U.S. are renegotiating aspects of the USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement), with dairy being a contentious point. Smith's comments reflect a broader frustration with trade policies that she feels disadvantage Alberta and Canada, advocating for a more assertive approach in trade negotiations to safeguard Canadian interests.
