In the aftermath, the Alberta Premier, in the aftermath of this referendum on sovereignty in Alberta, she's saying she wants the separatists out of the United Conservative Party? Is that what's going on? What's going on there?

Danielle SmithSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
let's be frank, DEI is a very highly charged ideological doctrine that teaches a particular perspective about colonialism and white settlement.
Danielle SmithSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And you have to ask the question, what are we trying to get to with that? Are we trying to get to a point where we have fairness in hiring and a diversity of people who are hired into positions? Or are we trying to socially engineer some kind of narrative?

Meaning that a good chunk of Canadian products still enter the U.S. tariff-free.
Richard CoffinHOST
In fact, as highlighted by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, the vast majority of the province's exports, which includes most of Canada's oil and gas exports, continue to enter the U.S. tariff-free.
Richard CoffinHOST
with this energy representing by far the country's largest export category to the us so just how much of canada's exports to the united states fall under this agreement well currently it might be a lower percentage than you'd expect well it might sound like a sort of broad-based and comprehensive trade deal there is a lot of trade that takes place outside of the confines of the agreement with only 38 of canadian exports to the united states taking advantage of this exemption as of 2024. that being said however it's very likely we see that figure move much higher.
Richard CoffinHOST
You see, being Kuzma compliant requires that a product goes through a certification process to ensure that it meets certain sourcing requirements, namely its inputs and labor need to be predominantly from Canada, the US, or Mexico, the members of the agreement.
