From Global News.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is set to deliver a keynote address and fireside chat at the Canada Strong and Free Network around 1:45 p.m. EST in Ottawa. She is also expected to take questions afterward at around 2:30 p.m. EST.

Smith was granted security clearance to receive briefings from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, her office confirmed Thursday. Her security clearance comes after a report was released this week that says some foreign actors, including a network of Kremlin-aligned websites in Russia, are increasingly generating content riddled with disinformation about Alberta’s separatist movement.

The report found content on the websites routinely portrayed Alberta separatism to be more popular with the public than believed, and torqued underlying grievances with Ottawa that many supporters and separatist leaders cite for wanting to quit Confederation.
