Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says her United Conservative Party is not an independence party and not going to become one, delivering a public message to separatists to leave the United Conservatives. Power & Politics hears from Smith on how she plans to enforce that rule — and what's next for her party. Plus, the federal government and Ontario announce a nearly $9-billion partnership to support the steel, auto and critical mineral sectors. Brian Kingston, president and CEO of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers' Association, weighs in on what Wednesday's tariff supports will do for Ontario's auto sector.
