## Resource

Alberta’s Premier Danielle Smith is doubling down on diplomacy as U.S. tariffs loom, vowing 100% tariff-free trade through negotiation—not threats—after Trump announced 50% tariffs on Canadian goods starting August 19. Meanwhile, Canada faces new 10–12.5% tariffs on 60 countries over forced labor claims, with PM Carney holding off on retaliation but eyeing countermeasures if no deal emerges. Back home, Smith champions one-time $100 fuel rebates over tax relief, hinting at future legislative tweaks, while also pushing to tie seniors’ benefits to Alberta residency and tax contributions to ensure fairness and sustainability.
