“Now is the time for us to unite as a province and a country,” Smith said in a statement.

At 12:01 a.m. ET, U.S. President Donald Trump’s promised 25 per cent tariffs on ********* exports took effect. ********* energy is being hit with 10 per cent tariffs.

At a news conference in Ottawa on Tuesday, Trudeau said Canada will counter the tariffs by imposing 25 per cent retaliatory tariffs on $30 billion worth of U.S. products, and added that will grow to another $125 billion in U.S. goods in 21 days.

Smith called Trump’s tariffs “an unjustifiable economic attack on Canadians and Albertans.”

“They also represent a clear breach of the trade agreement signed by this same U.S. president during his first term,” she added. “These tariffs will hurt the American people, driving up costs for fuel, food, vehicles, housing and many other products. They will also cost hundreds of thousands of American and ********* jobs.

“This policy is both foolish and a failure in every regard.”

Trudeau accused the U.S. of economically attacking its “closest ally.”
