Alberta's NDP focused on fixing health-care and combating racism Friday, while the United Conservative Party criticized a rival candidate for past comments about Alberta's energy sector.
NDP Leader Rachel Notley, appearing on Global Calgary, talked about health care, affordability and the $1.2-billion deal to replace the aging Saddledome with a new arena for the Calgary Flames."All I'm doing on that issue is taking a very cautious and conservative approach that I think most Calgarians and Albertans would expect us to do," she said.
United Conservative Leader Danielle Smith wasn't campaigning Friday. She was in Grande Prairie, Alta., in her role as premier to tour a fire zone and meet with local officials and Indigenous leaders. On Thursday, Smith dismissed concerns over her past musing about selling hospitals to private operators. She was hustled offstage after a few protesters disrupted her news conference in Calgary.
She said she should be judged on what she does, not her past comments, as her positions on different issues have evolved.
