Alberta premier Danielle Smith travelled to Florida this week to meet with incoming U.S. president Donald Trump and various policymakers about prospective tariffs on Canadian imports into the U.S.
The premier is getting plenty of attention for posting about the visit on social media where she shared photographs alongside not only Trump, but Canadian businessman and failed federal conservative party leadership candidate Kevin O’Leary and former academic Jordan Peterson.
According to the Government of Alberta, Smith and Trump had a “friendly and constructive conversation during which [she] emphasized the mutual importance of the U.S.–Canada energy relationship.”
