EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says she was celebrating her 19th wedding anniversary when she heard the Opposition leader was joking about physically assaulting her. “I was bemused,” Notley said Thursday while at the opening of a new school in Edmonton. The premier said she has accepted Wildrose Leader Brian Jean’s apology. He told the audience he would continue to beat the drum on key local issues, but joked that the law prevented him from beating Notley. “I think that the debate around it is probably improving the overall level of debate as we go forward,” she said.
