Alberta businesses could face tariffs on U.S. exports as soon as next month, according to comments made by President Donald Trump on Monday.

After weeks of concern, confusion, calls for unity and subsequent dissent, Canada received some clarity on U.S. President Donald Trump's threats to enact widespread tariffs on Canadian imports on his first day in office.

Meanwhile, the government is promoting another opportunity for U.S. hunters to come shoot things here off-season

Canada's Energy and Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson said on Wednesday any response to U.S. tariffs would be regionally fair and equitable and would not target Alberta, Canada's main oil-producing province.

OTTAWA — As Alberta Premier Danielle Smith worked rooms in Washington, D.C., on Monday morning, welcome news broke that President Donald Trump wouldn’t immediately slap a 25 per cent tariff on Canadian goods, a move that would have devastated Alberta’s oil and gas industry.

Trudeau blasted Smith, reminding her that the federal government bought the Trans Mountain pipeline, which now has a C$34.5 billion price tag, giving Alberta its only route to export oil from Canada’s Pacific coast.

Experts say that reopening the Keystone pipeline after the premier of Alberta, Canada, said she wants to talk to Trump about restarting construction of the oil system.

Prior to Trump's inauguration, Smith travelled to the president's Florida home to advocate for Alberta's interests in response to the tariff threats.

Alberta's public pension manager has laid off 19 employees and cut their positions, including the role of running its diversity, equity and inclusion program.

Canada’s outgoing prime minister and the leader of the country’s oil rich province of Alberta are confident Canada can avoid the 25% tariffs President Donald Trump says he will impose on Canada and Mexico on Feb.

U.S. President Donald Trump says he will be holding off on imposing the tariffs he’s been promising, earning praise from Alberta Premier Danielle Smith.

Trump is also staffing his agencies with pro-coal administrators. The Energy Department last week rehired Steve Winberg, who was an assistant DOE secretary during Trump’s first term and is CEO of a group that supports retrofitting existing coal plants with carbon capture.
