‘De-escalate the Rhetoric’: Alberta Premier Smith Urges Diplomacy in Face of Tariffs

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is urging Ottawa and her fellow premiers to use diplomacy as the “primary tool” to resolve U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods.

A trade war has erupted between Canada and the United States since U.S. President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on Canadian goods over the weekend. Trump’s tariffs went into effect on Feb. 1 with a 10 percent tax on oil and gas exports from Canada and a 25 percent tax levied on all other imported goods.

Smith says the lower tax on Canada’s energy export to the United States came as a result of the “sustained diplomatic efforts and advocacy” of her government since Trump first floated the idea of tariffs against Canada after his November 2024 election.

“Calm logical discussion is far more effective than ‘tough guy’ rhetoric when dealing with a misguided ally who has wronged us,” she said in a Feb. 2 op-ed in the National Post.
“As premier of Alberta, I am calling on my fellow premiers, the prime minister and all of our national leaders to de-escalate the rhetoric as much as possible and look to diplomacy and advocacy as our primary tool to resolve this conflict.

These weren’t isolated fumbles, they were self-inflicted wounds from chasing social justice optics at the expense of reality. Now, Canada is the latest casualty, with “woke” poli...
