Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is facing backlash after reports surfaced that she urged Donald Trump’s team to support Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre in Canada’s upcoming federal election. Her comments to right-wing U.S. media outlet Breitbart have intensified concerns that Poilievre may be too closely aligned with Trump-style politics. Poilievre has distanced himself from the controversy, stating that Smith is free to make her own political interventions. Critics argue that Smith’s actions could hurt Poilievre’s appeal among moderate voters. The controversy highlights growing tensions over Canada-U.S. relations and the influence of American politics on Canadian elections.

Danielle Smith Urged Trump Team to Help Poilievre Win
Poilievre’s greatest weakness going into the federal election is the concern from middle-of-the-road voters that he won’t be tough on Trump, or that he’s “maple MAGA.” And here, Danielle Smith has validated this perception.
The media is in full meltdown mode because Danielle Smith had the audacity to talk to Breitbart and support a conservative leader—what a joke. Meanwhile, Trudeau cozies up to far-left globalists and no one bats an eye. The political establishment is just terrified that regular Canadians are waking up and rejecting their elitist nonsense. Poilievre shouldn’t run from this; he should embrace it and show he’s willing to stand up for real conservative values.
