Alberta United Conservative Party candidate Rebecca Schulz (Calgary-Shaw) said NDP leader Rachel Notley has admitted to putting her alliance with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau before Albertans. .“Once again, we see Notley has learned nothing from the past,” said Schulz in a Sunday press release. .“Albertans don’t want a premier who will sell our province out to the whims of Justin Trudeau and the federal Jagmeet Singh-Justin Trudeau Alliance.” .Schulz was making these comments after West Block host Mercedes Stephenson asked Notley if she became premier, what would her relationship with Trudeau look like. .“It looks a lot like it always has,” she said. .The Alberta UCP candidate went on to say Notley’s admission proves she is the wrong choice. She added Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and the UCP “have been clear: we will stand up for Alberta’s jurisdictional rights and make sure the Jagmeet Singh-Justin Trudeau Alliance stays in its own lane on matters of provincial rights.” .Notley worked with Trudeau in the past to impose a carbon tax and to cancel pipeline projects such as Energy East and Northern Gateway. She has promised to bring in a production cap on Alberta’s energy industry and to meet his net-zero electricity grid plans. .Schulz acknowledged Albertans have a choice this election. She said Notley is offering more of the same failed Alberta NDP tax hikes and economic policies and a disastrous alliance with Trudeau. .Rather than be like the Alberta NDP, she said the UCP are “offering lower taxes and policies that will continue to create jobs and make life more affordable for everyday Albertans.” .“Let’s keep moving forward,” she said. .Smith told people at a rally in Calgary on Thursday she will see them at the victory party on Monday..READ MORE: Smith tells packed crowd in Calgary, see you at the finish line.“Now Ms. Notley, she needs to understand that if you want to be premier, you have to put Albertans first,” she said. .“She hasn’t, and she won’t.”
