Alberta’s Birthday Messed Up | Canada News
Description
Alberta’s 121st birthday turned chaotic when Premier Danielle Smith’s office accidentally erased Indigenous Peoples from a key celebratory statement—only to later claim it was a “glitch” and revert to the original version. The mishap, occurring amid tense Indigenous relations and treaty rights debates, sparked outrage from leaders like Grand Chief Trevor Mercredi and the NDP, who accused the premier of deflecting blame.
