Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s office denies claims she urged U.S. interference in Canada’s federal election. Smith, while lobbying against U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods, told Breitbart News she hoped for a pause on tariffs until after the election, suggesting a Conservative government under Pierre Poilievre would better manage trade relations with the U.S. Smith maintains her comments were about trade policy and her preference for a Conservative government, not an attempt at influencing the election’s outcome.
