Premier Smith won’t attend Trump inauguration

BY The Canadian Press, Jan 20, 2025 2:01 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

Blackett says the premier still plans to attend an event at the Canadian Embassy today

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith won't be at U-S president-elect Donald Trump's inaugural ceremony today.

She had been scheduled to attend the event, but that's not going to happen due to the ceremony being moved indoors into the Capitol Rotunda because of cold weather. Her press secretary, Sam Blackett, says in a statement that most ticketed guests will no longer be able to attend the ceremony in-person because of the move, and that includes Smith.

Blackett says the premier still plans to attend an event at the Canadian Embassy today.
