Newly reelected Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is spending some of her downtime working at the Dining Car restaurant she owns with her husband David Moretta.

“Fun fact: my husband and I still own a restaurant. This weekend the dishwasher broke down, so I went in for a shift,” the premier said on her social media on June 11. The photograph shows a smiling Smith, wearing dark grey cargo pants, a red t-shirt, and gold flat sandals, standing at the stainless steel kitchen sink in the restaurant with what looks like a coffee pot.
