Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is choosing province over country. Smith refused to sign a statement earlier this week endorsedby her fellow premiers responding to Donald Trump's tariff threats,saying she can't support retaliatory measures that could include export taxes or bans on Canadian oil and gas to the U-S.

Trudeau says he doesn't blame Smith for speaking up for the industry but that every other premier --quote-- ``chose to put Canada first.''

Smith has made a public stand as the lone holdout on support Canada's strategy to counter Trump's proposed tariffs.
