CALGARY — Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, weighing in on a limp hand clasp with the prime minister that went viral, says she never expected she would have to shake hands with him at a media photo opportunity.
“I was taken a bit by surprise that he wanted to shake hands again, so we kind of missed the landing. It was a little bit awkward, but we ended up having a really good discussion after that.” The meeting came just before Smith and Trudeau discussed proposed federal legislation, dubbed “just transition,” aimed at helping workers adapt to a world increasingly reliant on renewable energy.
She has disparaged Trudeau's government as not a truly national government and passed controversial legislation granting Alberta the power to direct provincial agencies to ignore federal laws.
