Alberta Premier Danielle Smith recently deflected many reporter questions on matters related to a defamation lawsuit she is considering against the CBC, but when asked recently who is funding the legal action, she answered, “the party.”

She did not elaborate on why the United Conservative Party (UCP) is covering the bill instead of the government, since the matter is related to her actions as premier. The United Conservative Party (UCP) did not immediately respond to The Epoch Times inquiry.
