Trudeau, Smith all smiles in Calgary as fight between provinces, feds on carbon pricing looms large

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in Calgary, Alberta, Canada on Wednesday to meet with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith.

The two laughed and shook hands during their initial meeting Wednesday, with each detailing the broad areas of agreement between their two governments - a notable exception, of course, being Alberta's opposition to the federal government's carbon pricing proposal.

The federal backstop is set to rise from $65 a tonne to $80 a tonne on April 1. This means the fuel charge on gasoline will go from 14.3 cents per litre to 17.6 cents.
