It was a rollercoaster of a week in the Alberta-Ottawa relationship. Just two days after Alberta Premier Danielle Smith invoked her province’s Sovereignty Act in an attempt to push back against federal clean electricity regulations, she was hugging Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland at a major investment announcement just outside Edmonton. Employment Minister and Alberta Liberal MP Randy Boissonnault joins The House to talk about the fed-prov relationship, then the National Post’s Stuart Thomson and the Toronto Star’s Tonda MacCharles weigh in on the road ahead.
