Danielle Smith

Danielle Smith says she's fighting the "just transition" in order to protect Alberta jobs. So why is she saying and doing things that could end up costing thousands of them?

The CEOs of some of the biggest oilsands companies in Alberta say transitioning their workforce for a net-zero emissions future isn't about cutting jobs, it's about creating them.

The federal government delivered nearly $10 million on Tuesday, January 17, 2023, to support Alberta's growing hydrogen industry as the province continues to accuse Ottawa of wanting to shut down jobs in its energy sector. 

Is the federal government planning to phase out hundreds of thousands of jobs in Alberta (and millions across the country) through its "just transition" act? Of course not. But that's not what Alberta's premier and pundits would have us believe.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has delivered a third version of what she discussed with justice officials over how to handle the prosecution of people charged with breaking COVID-19 health rules. 

Alberta's New Democrat Opposition wants public consultations on a government plan that would subsidize oil and gas companies to fulfil legal commitments to clean up old wells, a major proponent of which has been working directly in Premier Danielle Smith's office for months.

Alberta’s Opposition NDP leader wants to see more details of Ottawa's proposed plan for green energy jobs, but says Premier Danielle Smith’s knee-jerk criticism and her sovereignty act don't help anyone.

The new year has kicked off with Alberta’s premier and environment minister up in arms over the federal government’s yet-to-be-released Just Transition Act.

A decision to restrict personal vehicles at one of the most popular tourist destinations in Banff National Park was required to balance the growing number of visitors with protecting the environment, says a Parks Canada official.

Premier Danielle Smith won’t commit to using Alberta's controversial sovereignty act to rebut looming federal “just transition” legislation, which she calls an existential threat to her province’s bedrock oil and gas industry. 

Alberta has a well-honed sense of victimhood and a political culture that rewards those who indulge it, writes columnist Max Fawcett.

Onion Lake Cree Nation has filed a lawsuit against the Alberta government saying its sovereignty act is an infringement on treaty rights.
