Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says all of the country’s premiers – except for Alberta Premier Danielle Smith – chose put Canada first when it comes to the country’s response to Donald Trump’s threat to impose a 25 per cent tariff on Canadian goods. Smith refused to sign a joint statement with the other 12 premiers, saying she cannot agree to the federal government’s response to Trump if Alberta energy exports could be part of that.
