Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s office says she and Prime Minister Mark Carney won’t be watching the Edmonton Oilers battle the Florida Panthers on home ice Saturday.
Smith extended an invitation last week for Carney to join her for Game 5 of the Stanley Cup final.
The premier’s press secretary, Sam Blackett, says the upcoming G7 leaders’ summit in Kananaskis, Alta., and their demanding schedules make seeing the game together impossible.
The premier has no plans to attend Stanley Cup final games.
