Alberta launches online portal for businesses to report tariff impacts
The new government website tracks both U.S. and Canadian tariffs and lets companies detail how the trade dispute is affecting their operations.
Why it matters
With $152 billion in goods shipped to the U.S. last year, ongoing tariff disputes could significantly affect Alberta jobs and business costs.
The Alberta government has launched an online portal aimed at gathering information from businesses about how U.S. and Canadian tariffs are affecting them. The site includes background on the tariffs themselves and a feature allowing companies to report impacts on costs, supply chains, employment and competitiveness.
A government release said the portal comes as businesses continue assessing the effects of recent U.S. tariffs and Canada's planned retaliatory measures, while the province maintains it still wants fair and free trade with the United States. Officials noted Alberta shipped $152 billion worth of goods to the U.S. in 2025.
Business Council of Alberta president Adam Legge said tariffs and counter-tariffs are creating uncertainty and real costs for some Alberta businesses, adding that government needs clear, timely information about where those pressures are being felt. He said he hopes the province's response will be practical and targeted toward protecting investment, jobs and growth, crediting Premier Danielle Smith's government for its willingness to listen and adapt.
