Prime Minister Justin Trudeau discussed carbon emissions and the strike by B.C. port workers during a brief meeting Friday with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith.
Both leaders were in town for the first day of the Calgary Stampede, a 10-day celebration of western culture that features a parade, rodeo events, pancake breakfasts and concerts. The meeting with Smith was his first stop on a two-day visit.
Smith also flagged the federal government's goal of having a net-zero electricity grid by 2035, saying it isn't realistic for Alberta without a massive cost to the economy. Both Canada and Alberta are aiming to be net-zero by 2050, but the federal government has set multiple earlier targets along the way."We will be able to sit down and really look at what our experts are saying, figure out the common ground and figure out the path forward," Trudeau said.
