Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has introduced a gatekeeping law that would allow the province to veto any future deal struck between municipalities and the federal government.

Smith says recent unilateral federal housing grants to some Alberta cities were the final straw.

Smith also says the bill, introduced in the house Wednesday, acts as a bulwark against Ottawa muscling in to fund federal ideological priorities — such as safe supply addiction treatment and green power mandates — that run counter to her province’s objectives.

“The federal government is picking favourites" Smith told reporters.

The bill is the next chapter in a long-running war of words and court battles between Smith’s United Conservative Party government and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government.

As Adam MacVicar reports, the act includes all provincial entities and even post-secondary institutions.
