Smith booed by delegates at UCP convention after signing energy deal with Ottawa

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith told delegates at her party’s convention Friday that she hoped the energy accord she signed with Ottawa made them more confident that Canada is working properly.

A chorus of boos greeted the comment about the deal, which Ms. Smith signed alongside Prime Minister Mark Carney with fanfare on Thursday. It’s being touted by both leaders as a reset of the relationship between the governments and the start of Canada’s transformation into an energy superpower, with Alberta at the forefront.
