## Resource

Danielle Smith says Alberta has entered a new era of economic growth, pointing to a string of major energy and technology announcements this week as evidence the province is once again open for investment. In an interview with Alberta Edge, the premier discusses Meta’s $13-billion data centre, two proposed oil pipelines, and why she believes Alberta is making up for a lost decade of stalled development. She also addresses concerns over AI, investor confidence, and the province’s delayed fiscal update. This podcast is generously supported by Don Archibald. The Hub thanks him for his ongoing support.
