Truth be told this is not a column where the headline is shouting outrage, where Alberta against Ottawa sounds like an old-school wrestling cage match.

You know the headline. DANIELLE SMITH SLAMS MARK CARNEY. Alberta premier says Prime Minister Carney is just another Justin Trudeau.

That IS NOT the headline this day because that is NOT the story.

Canada’s premiers met with Carney Monday and Smith came out of the gabfest … very encouraged.

She wasn’t gushing like Ontario Premier Doug Ford who sung Love Is In The Air and compared Carney to Santa Claus.
