U.S. tariffs, possible tax cuts expected to dominate Alberta budget

Alberta Finance Minister Nate Horner is presenting a budget amid concerns about U.S. President Donald Trump's proposed tariffs on imports from Canada, which could significantly impact the province's economy.
Economist Charles St. Arnaud predicts that Alberta could lose between 20,000 and 35,000 jobs over the next two years due to these tariffs.
Opposition NDP finance critic Court Ellingson expresses concern that tax cuts could primarily benefit high-income earners, risking cuts to essential supports for low-income individuals.
Horner emphasizes that addressing affordability is crucial for Albertans, and the uncertainty surrounding tariffs complicates the budget process.
