This week on the Alberta Roundup with Rachel Emmanuel, Rachel discusses Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s sovereignty act legislation which passed this week, just ten days after it was tabled.

Also on the show, the United Conservative Party government is leading in the polls under Smith’s leadership, the first time the UCP has been ahead of the NDP in a couple months.

And finally, Smith skipped NDP leader and former Alberta premier Rachel Notley’s official portrait unveiling this week.
