Smith Urges Diplomacy Over Tariffs | Ottawa News

Instead of escalating tensions, she’s pushing for diplomacy, patience, and strategic negotiation—especially ahead of U.S. elections—to pressure Washington into reversing its tariffs.

Her message: Canada must be smarter, not tougher, using its relationship with American voters to find a win-win solution without war.
