Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland says the Liberal government respects the choice the people of Alberta have made at the ballot box.

She made the comment on her way into the federal Liberals' weekly cabinet meeting, hours after United Conservative Leader Danielle Smith was declared victorious over the NDP's Rachel Notley in yesterday's provincial vote.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau released a statement after her victory congratulating Smith, saying he wants to work together to deliver results for Albertans when it comes to creating jobs and advancing clean energy.

Federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, who endorsed Smith in the final stretch of the campaign said on Twitter that Alberta voters have rejected the woke NDP-Liberal coalition.
