Intro

Canada is one of the U.S.’s closest allies and its top trading partner. The U.S. imports more than four million barrels of Canadian crude oil per day, the majority of which come from Alberta. This week, Joseph and Quill sit down with Danielle Smith, Premier of Alberta, to discuss the province's important position in North American energy production. Premier Smith describes the role of oil and gas in driving economic growth, the challenges posed by shifting U.S. energy policy, and Alberta's efforts to balance energy development with environmental goals.
