Coca-Cola is building a new $70-million facility in northeast Calgary, and Premier Danielle Smith took advantage of the news to remind businesses that Alberta is “Canada’s lowest tax jurisdiction.”

In a July 10 social media post, Ms. Smith thanked Coca-Cola Canada Bottling Limited (Coke) for the “vote of confidence.”
