Danielle Smith charts her own path through choppy waters. Ahead of the first ministers' meeting in Ottawa, the Alberta premier heads to Mar-a-Lago to meet Donald Trump, then refuses to back a united Canadian response to a potential trade war. While Ontario Premier Doug Ford calls for the country to use “every tool in our toolbox" against the proposed American tariffs on Canadian goods, Smith draws a hard line — Alberta won’t agree to restrict energy exports. With national unity on the brink, West of Centre host Kathleen Petty dives into the fallout with Heather Exner-Pirot of the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, Zain Velji of The Strategists podcast, and Gary Mar of the Canada West Foundation.
