Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is facing criticism over comments made in an interview with an American right-wing news outlet.

Smith said she believes the tariffs imposed by the U.S. are hurting Conservative Party of Canada Leader Pierre Poilievre ’s chances of being elected prime minister.

The Conservatives have seen their lead in the polls evaporate in recent weeks as Trump and his trade war have become a top issue.

Liberal Leader Mark Carney takes note of Smith 's alignment with U.S. President Donald Trump .

Smith was scheduled to speak at the University of Alberta for an unrelated announcement on Monday .

Smith added she has been working with other premiers in order to convey to American officials how damaging tariffs could be and how they need to be put on hold.
