Moe backs Alberta Premier Smith's controversial U.S. advocacy efforts

  • On Wednesday, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith responded to criticism in the Alberta Legislature regarding her diplomatic efforts and media appearances in the U.S., including her upcoming trip to Florida to speak at a PragerU fundraiser with Ben Shapiro.
  • Smith defended her strategy as an attempt to persuade U.S. Officials that a trade war with Canada would be detrimental, characterizing her actions as entering the 'lion's den' to change American perspectives amidst ongoing tariff threats from President Donald Trump.
  • Criticism of Smith intensified following the resurfacing of her March 8 interview with Breitbart News, a right-wing U.S. Media outlet, and included accusations from Alberta NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi that Smith invited foreign interference in Canada's election.
  • Smith denounced accusations of 'treason', asserting, "We will not be pushed around and called traitors for merely having the courage to actually do something about our nation's and province's predicament, other than merely indulging in self-righteous tantrums."
  • Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe commended Smith's efforts to defuse a trade war with the U.S., highlighting the importance of educating Americans on the integrated economies of both countries, while Alberta's Opposition NDP continues to call for Smith to cancel her Florida appearance, claiming she is supporting an extremist organization using taxpayer money.
