Alberta Premier Danielle Smith met with incoming U.S. president Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago home in Florida .

Smith is trying to stave off Trump 's promised 25 per cent levy on all Canadian goods, including Alberta 's mainstay oil and gas exports.

Political watchers say Smith runs the risk of undermining Canada ’s negotiating stance as a whole if she pursues a special carve-out for the oil, gas sector.

Bratt said by announcing his resignation earlier this month , Trudeau did more to signal weakness than anything Smith has done.

“What is the alternative? Stick your head in the sand and let Ottawa deal with this? Who in Ottawa ?” said Bratt .

Colin Aitchison , Western Canada director at communications firm Enterprise Canada , also said premiers are right to step up in the midst of a leadership void.
