    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    An American right-wing political commentator  is set to have a conversation with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith in January when he’s scheduled to speak in Calgary.

    Tucker Carlson, who was fired by Fox News in April, is scheduled to appear at a luncheon at the Telus Convention Centre on Jan. 24.

    An itinerary posted on Carlson’s website said he will make remarks, before being interviewed by a local businessman and then having a conversation with Smith.

    “The premier participates in a variety of public and private events and does interviews with dozens of reporters, broadcasters and podcasters from across the political spectrum,” press secretary Sam Blackett said in an emailed statement.

    “Tucker Carlson is a pro-Putin white nationalist, so naturally Danielle Smith is scheduled to help him promote his event in Calgary in January,” finance critic Shannon Phillips wrote on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.

    Carlson, who was one of the networks most popular hosts, occasionally targets Canada and its federal Liberal government on his show and was a vocal supporter of last year’s “Freedom Convoy” movement.
