As is well known, Alberta Premier Smith’s #SovereigntyAct has been shown to be a meaningless joke.
And yet, a 2.0 is impending from the UCP government in order to fight Ottawa's proposed emissions regulations.

Alberta premier Danielle Smith will be sitting down to chat with fellow conspiracy theorist and misinformation wing nut Tucker Carlson early in 2024. Although Carlson is too extreme for Fox News, he is just the right level of extreme for the #Alberta premier--the same premier who is currently holding the rest of the country hostage with her #SovereigntyAct and proposal to strip the #CPP of more than half its value.

The Alberta Sovereignty Act is "an unconstitutional bit of magical thinking in which the province grants itself the power to ignore federal law whenever the fancy strikes.
...Ms. Smith’s goal: to undermine the system of shared powers in Canada’s federation, and to paint Ottawa’s constitutional place in that system as some kind of foreign insurgence."

Alberta made international news--but not in a good way.
Why investors, talent, and industries are wary of a chaotic, unstable province bent on "sovereignty."
“The Alberta Sovereignty Act is utterly repugnant to the letter and spirit of the Treaty.”
