Smith pledges to introduce an “Alberta sovereignty act” on her first day as premier. “Simply put, we need less Ottawa in our lives,” Smith said in a video posted to social media. She said the federal government has “landlocked our resources, destroyed so many livelihoods and made all the basics we need to live so much more expensive.”

By contrast, Alberta has been singled out for attack for years by the Trudeau government.Article content
