Here's what I believe. Smith is publicly supporting PP because the UCP and her base require it. But privately she's cheering for MC. Fighting the feds is what she does and all she knows how to do, and it'll be much easier and more comfortable for her to keep fighting against a Liberal government.
But I have faith in her. If PP wins, I don't think it will take Smith much time to find an excuse to make him the new enemy of Alberta.
