Alberta Premier Rachel Notley was honoured with the Blackfoot name Braveheart Woman and presented with a traditional headdress from an elder in Lethbridge. Notley is the first premier in more than a decade to receive a traditional Indigenous name, since Ed Stelmach was named Star Chief in 2007 by the Blood Tribe. Kenney raised a concern on Twitter that the premier was holding a partisan news conference in a public hospital, which is against Alberta Health Services policy. It is an unethical abuse of public resources for the NDP Leader to hold a partisan news conference in a public hospital, as she did today. Once the premier decides the election has been called, the campaign will last 28 days.
