OTTAWA – Alberta premier-designate Danielle Smith says she’s ready to take the fight to Ottawa for Alberta’s autonomy to develop its resources, so that it can build pipelines to get oil and gas to market and boost the forestry and agriculture sectors.
“We’ve always been treated like a subordinate level of government,” she said in an interview on CTV’s Question Period, airing Sunday. “We’ve acted like it. But we’re going to stop acting like that. We’re going to take our place as a senior partner in Confederation.”
Smith also plans to take the federal carbon tax back to the Supreme Court, after it ruled just last year that the policy is constitutional.
