Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is doubling down on her public opposition to a possible export tax on Canadian oil.

The possibility of such a tax is understandably a concern for Smith , as it is for many Albertans .

It’s not clear how likely it is that Ottawa would go that route; it depends on what kind of tariffs U.S. President Donald Trump decides to apply against Canada .

Smith can sabre-rattle about an export tax all she wants but it would be prudent to try to get in front of it by looking at a production curtailment.
