EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says she has invited Prime Minister Mark Carney to watch an Edmonton Oilers Stanley Cup Final game.
Smith says she’s waiting to see if Carney will join her for Game 5, which could take place next weekend ahead of the G7 conference in Kananaskis, Alberta.
Carney, who grew up in Edmonton, made his allegiance to the home team clear when he stopped at Rogers Place to skate with the team in March.
Smith says she’s pleased to see that Canada has a prime minister “who knows what team to root for.”
