Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has delivered a note of congratulations along with a sharply worded warning and a blanket condemnation to Prime Minister Mark Carney and his new Liberal government.
Smith is urging Carney to immediately reset the relationship with her province, accusing the Liberals of undermining Alberta’s resource-based economy for a decade.
Smith says she will see about steps to shield Alberta from what she calls “hostile acts” from Ottawa, adding the Liberals and NDP have “demeaned and demonized Albertans” for political gain.
The Liberals were returned to power in Monday’s federal election, but it's not clear whether it will be with a minority or majority government as ballots continue to be counted.
Ahead of the election, Smith outlined a list of demands for the next prime minister, which includes scrapping the emissions cap and ditching a ban on single-use plastics.
Smith is also praising Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, calling him a “true friend of Alberta” and a principled advocate for anti-tax and pro-resource policies that have inspired a nation.
