OTTAWA — Canada’s premiers meet with Prime Minister Mark Carney later today with the renewal of North America’s trilateral free trade agreement casting a shadow over the meeting.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford and New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt both said Wednesday they agree with Carney’s recent suggestion that “almost nothing is normal” right now with the United States.
Premiers are looking to present a united “Team Canada” front, though ongoing interprovincial tensions are causing some tension.
Key among them is B.C.’s frustration with Ottawa’s endorsement of a possible pipeline to the West Coast.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith told reporters asking about the prospect of a new pipeline Wednesday that she saw signs of “progress” and that talks with B.C. Premier David Eby and Carney went very well.
