Alberta is flush with cash and the new premier is spending it. Danielle Smith used her first province-wide TV address to announce direct payments to Albertans coping with inflation. She said she'd changed her mind on past controversial views as a radio host. Even her proposed "Sovereignty Act" is being rebranded. Kathleen Petty looks at whether Smith’s communications strategy is enough to shift her dropping poll numbers.
