Alberta premier suggests Mark Carney has issues with strong conservative women

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith responded Monday to Liberal Leader Mark Carney using her as a stump speech punchline, saying Carney has issues with assertive women of opposing ideologies.“I’ve noticed this with progressive men and how much they talk about how much they support women until they meet a strong conservative woman,” Smith said in Edmonton, responding to questions at an unrelated news conference.“This is a pretty consistent type of approach that I’ve seen, not only from the current prime minister, but the former one as well.”
