I think this is an important time for us to be looking at the benefits that come from being a part of Canada. That’s what I’ve been advocating. That’s why I’m voting to remain,

Canada will not win this battle through brute force. We will win it through being smarter, more strategic, more agile, and using our relationship with the American people to have these tariffs reversed.

We need to be wise, patient, careful and deliberate to overcome the economic attacks our country is facing. So rather than making threats and promises we know we cannot keep, Canada should focus on what we can control and do,

Although I understand the need to respond strongly to these tariffs, I cannot think of a more disastrous policy decision than cutting off or taxing Alberta’s oil to the United States,

We should do all we can to avoid further escalation.

There is still time before these counter-tariffs take effect on Sept. 8, and I am urging the federal government to use that time to get back to the negotiating table with the United States.

Alberta’s government remains concerned that tariffs and counter-tariffs increase costs, disrupt supply chains, put pressure on businesses and workers, and ultimately risk escalation to even higher and broader tariffs that will impact even…

We believe also in choice. We trust that Albertans can make their own decisions, so we won’t be going down that track.

We shouldn’t be cheering if our farmers have to pay 50 per cent more for all the equipment that they need to produce our food. That’s not a success for us. It’s something we should be lamenting.

Alberta will continue to advocate for a strong tariff-free relationship between Canada and the U.S., and I will be urging the federal government to restart negotiations as soon as possible.

Tariffs and counter-tariffs hurt businesses, workers and families on both sides of the border.

No one benefits from a trade war
