EDMONTON — Prairie premiers are urging Canada to act on American concerns over illegal cross-border traffic of people and drugs to stave off the looming threat of 25-per-cent tariffs.
Alberta's Danielle Smith, Saskatchewan's Scott Moe, and Manitoba's Wab Kinew said Tuesday that Canada must better address the concerns of its largest trading partner.
In a video posted to social media, Smith said Canada needs to reach its pledged commitment to spend at least two per cent of its gross domestic product on defence by 2032. Smith said the vast majority of Alberta's energy exports to the U.S. are"delivered through secure and safe pipelines," which"do not in any way contribute to these illegal activities."
“I think that might be a way for us to really work collaboratively, to work together with our American people, but also ensuring that we do have a secure border,” he said.
