She's gonna pull some sovereign nation bullshit and not acknowledge he's the PM isn't she? Followed by complaints that the Feds treat AB as 2nd class citizens.
She's awful for her constituents and the country overall.

MODERATORS
To be controversial, it's not obvious to me that in private Trudeau has to be nice & polite with Smith:
- Libs and NDP I think have no federal MPs from AB (someone correct me if I'm wrong please)
- there are many charts that show Canada's GHG performance to date is absolutely terrible compared to the rest of the G7
- likewise there's plenty of data that the GHG performance for other than AB is in line with average G7
- polling across Canada (I believe) shows decent (~60%?) support for decisive action on climate change
So, it seems to me there's a reasonably strong position along the lines of "get with the program Danielle, look at these charts, your private industry is trying to go in the right direction and is held back by you and your fossil interests. Oh, you say 'blah blah blah Alberta sovereignty'? Go ahead, make my day".
On a lighter note, anyone taking bets on whether they will [try to] shake hands?
What could they possibly talk about?
