The twin T-words of Trump and tariffs left no lips, but North American economic uncertainty was an obvious undercurrent for comments and exchanges in the legislature April 14 tied to U.S. visitors. UCP backbenchers and ministers rose beneath the dome to amplify Alberta’s economic, agricultural — and professional hockey — connection to the American Midwest.

The south’s new parliamentary secretary for rural health sees advocacy beyond his own riding as a key part of the role, he told the legislature last week. Calling the appointment “an incredible responsibility,” the UCP’s Justin Wright said he’ll work to ensure Minister of Health Adriana LaGrange gets her work done. “But it’s also about bringing grassroots concerns to the ministry,” said Wright, the member for Cypress-Medicine Hat.

On March 20 China imposed 100 per cent tariffs on canola oil, canola meal and peas from Canada, along with 25 per cent tariffs on fish, other aquatic products and pork. The move followed Canada’s tariffs launched last October of 100 per cent on China’s electric cars and 25 per cent on its aluminum and steel.
