Danielle Smith, Premier of Alberta, has warned other parts of Canada against interfering with the province's oil industry. According to reports, Smith stated that any attempts to tax Albertan oil exports to the U.S., as a form of retaliation against Trump tariffs, would be fiercely contested. In another statement, Smith suggested Forever Canadian, her political organization, was following all election finance regulations in its campaign activities. This came after questions from opposition parties regarding potential impropriety with 3rd-party financial contributions.
