Alberta to invoke sovereignty act for the second time in its history.

Move comes amid mounting concerns about the potential impact of heavy cross-border tariffs proposed by U.S. president-elect Donald Trump .

A resolution based on the act has yet to be tabled but could come as soon as next Monday .

If the motion is passed, Alberta will pursue a number of measures to defy the emissions cap.

Alberta has already indicated tough economic times could be on the horizon amid Trump ’s looming protectionist measures and sagging oil prices, with Finance Minister Nate Horner warning last week that continued trends could see the province’s finances fall into deficit as soon as February ’s budget. The U.S. is by far Alberta ’s largest trading partner and the destination for close to 90 per cent of the province’s exports, according to government data. [email protected].
