Premier Danielle Smith is once again headed to the U.S. later this month to continue her diplomatic approach to tariff talks amid a trade war with the United States.

Smith will travel to South Florida at taxpayers' expense to talk about tariffs with conservative podcaster Ben Shapiro. Their conversation is part of a fundraiser for a non-profit organization called PragerU.

The Alberta premier's strategy contrasts with the approach of provincial leaders like Ontario Premier Doug Ford, whose aggressive actions include ripping up a $100-million internet service deal with Elon Musk's Starlink and threatening to tax electricity exports to the U.S. On Tuesday, he agreed to suspend that action pending upcoming talks with U.S. officials.

She's not making any friends, even in rural AB with this cozying up to Trump.

We need a Lougheed to deal with this sort of bullshit. She's no Lougheed. Consorting with Shapiro and Carlson just makes her a clown.
