Southern Alberta municipal leaders and residents who live near the border say that they’re pleased to see visible signs security along the Alberta-United States border is improving and that the province has at least made an effort to prevent United States President Donald Trump from levelling damaging tariffs on Canadian goods entering the U.

Smith was on CBC this week and she was asked if by sticking up for Alberta she was undermining the ability of Canada to deal with the Trump tariff threat. Smith says blocking Alberta oil headed for the U.S. or the Canadian government slamming a tax on that oil is something she would fight.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said Wednesday that Canada should name a “border czar” to work closely with the U.S. on border security, amid the looming threat of a sweeping 25 per cent tariff. Smith suggested a retired military general would be the right person for the post.

OTTAWA — Canada’s public safety minister offered an “attaboy” to Ontario’s premier for his recent Canada-U.S. outreach work.
