Defending Alberta Businesses

Premier Smith announced Alberta’s strong response to U.S. tariffs, focusing on protecting local businesses and boosting Canadian trade. Alberta is prioritizing its own and Canadian goods by changing procurement rules for government, schools, and municipalities, suspending U.S. alcohol and gaming equipment purchases, and launching a ‘Buy Alberta’ campaign to support local farmers and producers. The province is also pushing for freer trade within Canada, reducing barriers, and exploring new pipeline markets to double oil production, all while working to reverse these tariffs and strengthen ties with the U.S.
