Alberta Premier Danielle Smith insists she isn’t creating a national unity crisis by publicly opposing her fellow premiers on the issue.
“I think the problem that we saw is that we were getting together as a group of premiers and the prime minister saying, ‘let’s not negotiate this in public,’ and I did my part, saying, ‘let’s focus on the things that we know the Americans care about: national security and border security,’ and everybody else went off freelancing,” Smith told CTV’s Question Period host Vassy Kapelos in an interview airing Sunday.
“The thing they kept returning to was punishing Alberta and punishing energy,” Smith added. “So, I just wanted to make sure that we get back to talking about the things that unite us, rather than divide us.”
She went there for the inauguration. They didn’t let her in but that’s why she was there. But you’re right, we should make it clear she wasn’t important enough to be let into the old boys club and they left her out in the cold.
Yeah. Sorry. I know it’s nitpicky, but there’s a lot of almost true stuff bouncing around Reddit right now. I want Lemmy to be better than that. So I’m being picky.
