Premiers Danielle Smith and Doug Ford agree to study new energy corridors, more trade

The premiers of Alberta and Ontario have agreed to a feasibility study of new pipelines and rail lines between provinces while increasing interprovincial trade of alcohol and vehicles.

Ottawa must pass a law revoking digital service tax before refunds are issued: CRA

The Canada Revenue Agency says taxpayers who already paid the now-defunct digital services tax will have to wait for Ottawa to pass new legislation before they can get their refund. Prime Minister Mark Carney announced late Sunday that, in a bid to restart trade negotiations with the United States, Canada was dropping the tax on global tech giants. The first payment was due Monday and could have cost American companies like Amazon and Uber billions of dollars. A CRA spokesperson says the agency already collected some revenue from the digital services tax before Ottawa's reversal but didn't cit

Premier Smith says Albertans' desire for leaving Canada has never been higher

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says the public desire in her province to quit Canada has never been higher. Smith says a recent byelection that saw a separatist candidate garner almost 18 per cent of the vote shows Albertans are deeply frustrated and angry with Ottawa. Smith says she takes that frustration seriously and hopes Prime Minister Mark Carney does as well. The premier says quelling separatist desire is in Carney's hands and could be done if he scraps laws that she has said stifle energy production in Alberta. Smith made the comments today at an unrelated news conference in Calgary al
