About our Danielle Smith news

Latest news on Danielle Smith, covering Alberta Premier, UCP leader, politics, key policies, controversies, and updates on her provincial leadership.

As Alberta's 19th Premier and leader of the United Conservative Party (UCP) since October 2022, Danielle Smith has shaped provincial politics with her conservative policies and outspoken approach. After winning a provincial election in May 2023, she continues to lead a majority government focused on Alberta's sovereignty, economic development, and healthcare reform.

Smith's administration has been marked by controversial policy decisions, including the Sovereignty Act aimed at challenging federal legislation, healthcare privatisation initiatives, and energy policies promoting Alberta's oil and gas industries. Her stance on provincial autonomy has created tension with the federal government in Ottawa, particularly on issues related to climate change policies and resource development.

Beyond politics, Smith's leadership has affected everyday Albertans through changes to provincial services and community initiatives. Her government's decisions on education funding, infrastructure projects in cities like Calgary and Edmonton, and responses to cost-of-living pressures have impacted communities across the province, generating both support and criticism from various constituencies.

Before becoming Premier, Smith had a varied career as a political commentator, radio host, and previously led the Wildrose Party from 2009 to 2014. Her political journey included a controversial floor-crossing to the Progressive Conservatives in 2014, followed by years outside elected office before her dramatic return to lead the UCP, showcasing the evolving nature of Alberta's conservative movement.

Our NewsNow feed on Danielle Smith provides comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of the Premier's policies, statements, and impact on Alberta politics. Whether you're interested in provincial governance, conservative politics in Canada, or specific policy areas like healthcare and energy, this feed offers timely updates from a variety of reliable sources to keep you informed about this influential political figure.
