The rivalry between Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Rachel Notley is heating up less than one week after Smith was sworn in as Alberta’s 19th premier.

On this week’s episode of The Alberta Roundup, Rachel Emmanuel discusses Notley’s demand that Smith apologize for her comments on unvaccinated discrimination.

Also on the show, Alberta government lawyers told the Emergencies Act Commission that Alberta did not need the Emergencies Act to deal with the Coutts border blockade.

The divide between former Alberta Premier Jason Kenney and Smith was amplified this week when reports emerged that Kenney refused to accept Smith’s invitation for a meeting.

All of that and more on The Alberta Roundup with Rachel Emmanuel.
