Premiers Danielle Smith and Doug Ford will meet in Calgary to sign two memorandums of understanding focusing on energy priorities, trade, and interprovincial cooperation. They previously discussed building new pipelines and rail lines to export critical minerals and energy. Smith expressed to Prime Minister Mark Carney that eliminating net-zero carbon rules would be beneficial. Ford emphasized the need for infrastructure to protect workers from tariffs. This initiative responds to trade barriers exacerbated by U.S. tariff policies, estimated to cost the economy $200 billion annually.
"The best way to protect Canadian workers from tariffs and economic uncertainty is to build the infrastructure that will get our resources to new markets," Ford said.
"Smith told him it would be 'so great if we didn't have net-zero [carbon] rules.'"
