The largest exporting province rejecting a ‘Team Canada’ approach against Donald Trump doesn’t position the country well to negotiate with a second Trump administration.

Canada’s effort to push back against possible US tariffs is being undermined by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s pledge to fight federal plans to cut or tax crude exports to the US, Canada’s natural resources minister said.

Many, including B.C.’s premier, have called for a Team Canada approach to Donald Trump’s tariff threat. But it seems some provinces are going it alone.
