Alberta UCP in Unity Row Amid Separation Talk

The NDP opposition labels them as closet separatists, while the UCP ministers defend their patriotism and question the NDPs loyalty to Alberta. Smith draws a line on elected officials leading petitions, framing Stephans move as supporting democratic processes. Tensions rise as Nenshi questions Smiths past caucus kicks and separatist talk persists.
