You want some good news. Things are looking up. Not break out the champagne up. Not even buy a round of beer up.

The unfounded attacks on Premier Smith continue unabated. Letters pour in, decrying her efforts to defend Alberta’s jobs and economy by trying to work with incoming President Trump instead of ignoring him or throwing rocks at him.
