Carney, Smith Appear at Joint Pro-Canada Event Ahead of Alberta's Referendum

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : The Carney government has also eased a series of federal policies that Alberta has said stand in the way of resource development in the province, while the Smith government has agreed to increase its industrial carbon tax and pair the proposed oil pipeline with a major carbon capture project.
51% : Earlier this year, Carney reached a trade agreement with China to allow up to 49,000 Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) into Canada annually at a reduced tariff rate of 6.1 percent, down from 100 percent, in exchange for China lowering its tariffs on Canadian canola seed from approximately 85 percent to 14.9 percent and suspending anti-discrimination tariffs on Canadian canola meal, peas, lobster, and crab through the end of 2026.
