Subhead:Smith warned of a “national unity crisis” if Carney doesn’t address Alberta’s demands, including the removal of detested climate policies.#
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith expressed disappointment but readiness to negotiate with the returned Mark Carney-led Liberals after Monday’s federal election. They made electoral gains but failed to secure a majority government by three seats.
“A large majority of Albertans are deeply frustrated that the same government that overtly attacked our provincial economy almost unabated for the past 10 years has been returned to government,” Smith posted to social media, following a post-election blackout.
Smith stated that maintaining the status quo was untenable given the escalating tensions between Alberta and Ottawa.
“Albertans are proud Canadians that want this nation to be strong, prosperous, and united, but we will no longer tolerate having our industries threatened and our resources landlocked by Ottawa.”
