Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's chief of staff is sounding the alarm over Prime Minister Mark Carney's pick to head up the government's environment portfolio.

Rob Anderson says when it comes to new Environment and Climate Change Minister Julie Dabrusin, Albertans should ``sit down'' for what he suggests is a shocking announcement.

He points to Dabrusin's website, which touts her support for putting a price on carbon pollution, her strong stance against oilsands expansion, and her push for a transition away from fossil fuels. Anderson, in a social media post, says, in his words, ``fire...meet gas.''

Smith has said she wants to reset the province's combative relationship with Ottawa, and her government has demanded major changes on the environment file. That includes unfettered access to build oil and gas pipelines to the coasts, and a repeal of the Liberals' single-use
plastics ban.
