Alberta Premier Danielle Smith<\/strong> is under fire for an interview she did March 8 with Breitbart in the U.S. over controversial remarks that appear to suggest she asked the Trump administration to lay off their tariff threats until after a Canadian federal election in the hopes of seeing Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives elected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the interview<\/a>, with Breitbart<\/em> Washington correspondent Matthew Boyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excerpts<\/em>:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBefore the tariff war, I would say yes. I mean, Pierre Poilievre is the name of the Conservative Party leader, and he was miles ahead of Justin Trudeau. But because of what we see as unjust and unfair tariffs, it\u2019s actually caused an increase in the support for the liberals,\u201d Smith responded. \u201cAnd so that\u2019s what I fear, is that the longer this dispute goes on, politicians posture, and it seems to be benefiting the Liberals right now. So I would hope that we could put things on pause is what I\u2019ve told administration officials. Let\u2019s just put things on pause so we can get through an election.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She told Boyle that Poilievre, as prime minister, would open the door to a number of opportunities between Canada and the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLet\u2019s have the best person at the table make the argument\u2026 and I think that\u2019s Pierre Poilievre, and I do agree with you that\u2026 if we do have Pierre as our prime minister, then I think that there\u2019s a number of things that we could do together,\u201d<\/strong> Smith detailed. \u201cPierre believes in development. He believes in low-cost energy. He believes that we need to have low taxes, doesn\u2019t believe in any of the woke stuff that we\u2019ve seen taking over our politics for the last five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo I would think that there\u2019d be, there\u2019s probably still always going to be areas that are skirmishes or disputes about particular industries when it comes to the border, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

but I would say, on balance, the perspective that Pierre would bring would be very much in sync with, I think\u2026the new direction in America,<\/strong>\u201d she added. \u201cAnd I think we\u2019d have a really great relationship for the period of time they\u2019re both in.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
