Alberta Premier Danielle Smith would like to have a tête-à-tête with Quebec Premier François Legault about asserting their provincial sovereignty, according to a letter Smith wrote last month.
“I see an opportunity before us, as the democratically elected leaders of Alberta and Quebec, to chart a path toward a new era in Canadian federalism,” Smith said in a March 21 letter penned to her Quebec counterpart, in which she asked for a meeting.
Smith was responding to recommendations contained in a report prepared last year for the Quebec government suggesting ways that province could assert its provincial authority.
It’s so weird. They trash talk Quebec all the time and yet they want to be like them.
She doesn’t want to be them, this just suits her current interests. Conservatives are opportunists who aren’t slowed down by pesky things like firm ideals or good faith arguments. Flip flopping is of no concern to them.
