Alberta Premier Smith congratulates Carney, warns him against future ‘hostile acts’

EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has delivered a note of congratulations — along with a sharply worded warning and a blanket condemnation — to Prime Minister Mark Carney and his new Liberal government.
Smith is urging Carney to immediately reset the relationship with her province, accusing the Liberals of undermining Alberta’s resource-based economy for a decade.
Smith says she will see about steps to shield Alberta from what she calls “hostile acts” from Ottawa, adding the Liberals and NDP have “demeaned and demonized Albertans” for political gain.
The Liberals were returned to power in Monday’s federal election, but it’s not clear whether it will be with a minority or majority government as ballots continue to be counted.
