But Smith was admitting to problems by Friday afternoon, telling CBC News Network amendments may be needed. By Saturday morning, she acknowledged changes were on the way. “If we caused some confusion by some awkward wording, then let’s clean it up and then be able to talk about the bigger issues,” she said.
“Wouldn’t they have read it? Wouldn’t they have noticed this? This is damaging to have to backtrack. These are major reversals on her signature piece of legislation. whoever wrote it, at the end of the day her name is attached to it. She’s the one who introduced the bill. She has to wear this.” “If they direct us in a manner — let’s use an example — that says you can’t accept any federal funding directly, what does that do to our affordable housing strategy?” said Gondek.

Feds should view Alberta Sovereignty Act as 'a warning' that needs careful 'wait-and-see' response, say strategistsObservers say Alberta Premier Danielle Smith would “love nothing more” than for Ottawa to take an aggressive response to her proposed sovereignty act, but instead the federal government should use a “unique Canadian strategy” to shape the narrative: “boring them to death.” Smith unveiled her much-anticipated bill—officially titled the Alberta Sovereignty within a United Canada Act—on Nov. 29, after months of build-up since she first proposed the idea during her run to be United Conservative Party (UCP) leader. While much of the speculation in the lead-up to the bill centred on how it would affect relations between Alberta and Ottawa, observers say some of the most concerning parts of the bill are how it would expand the executive powers of the Alberta government and diminish the legislature. That’s why many are suggesting that rather than engage in a jurisdictional squabble with a premier who may be looking to frame the debate on that very issue, the federal government should monitor the situation closely but not overplay its hand. Brian Topp, an NDP strategist who has served both the federal party and NDP provincial governments in Alberta and Saskachewan, said that a de-escalating approach is the best bet. NDP strategist Brian Topp said the federal government should use ‘a unique Canadian strategy’ on proponents of the act: ‘boring them to death.’ The Hill Times file photograph “The federal government under multiple recent prime ministers has dealt effectively with separatists in Quebec by boring them to death—by taking care to avoid provocations and real causes of grievance,” said Topp, whose time in government included a stint as chief of staff to former Alberta premier Rachel Notley. “It’s a unique Canadian strategy, perfectly suited to our national temperament,” he said, “and one that might work well with Danielle Smith, too.” Yan Plante, a Conservative strategist who has worked in the department of intergovernmental affairs, said the federal government would b
