In an interview that aired on 08 March 2025, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith encouraged Trump to pause (not stop!) tariffs until after the Canadian federal election in order to give Poilievre a better chance of winning.
“But because of what we see as unjust and unfair tariffs, it’s actually caused an increase in the support for the liberals,” Smith responded. “And so that’s what I fear, is that the longer this dispute goes on, politicians posture, and it seems to be benefiting the Liberals right now. So I would hope that we could put things on pause is what I’ve told administration officials. Let’s just put things on pause so we can get through an election.”
“I would say, on balance, the perspective that Pierre would bring would be very much in sync with, I think…the new direction in America,” she added. “And I think we’d have a really great relationship for the period of time they’re both in.”
Alberta premier Danielle Smith says that she attempted to influence the US administration to hold off on tariffs to give Pierre Poilievre the best chance at winning the upcoming election… Because he'll align Canada with Trump the most

Example Text:
As a Canadian citizen and engaged voter, I have significant concerns over Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s comments in her interview with Washington’s Breitbart. Her comments around encouraging Trump to pause tariffs until after the Canadian federal election in order to give Poilievre a better chance of winning are inciting foreign powers to interfere with our sovereign democratic process. I am extremely concerned about this influencing the outcome of the election and demand an immediate, thorough and transparent investigation.
