If the rest of Canada's negotiating position is "we have Alberta", then they are saying the quiet part out loud.
Alberta is in an amazing position here and Smith is doing a great job pressing that advantage. She should push even more to utilize Alberta's importance in terms of negotiating an improved deal with the rest of Canada. Trump's position is a gift to Alberta's leverage over the rest of Canada, and I expect Smith to make use of it.

Canada has billions of dollars worth of trade leverage that isnt just PNG. Weird way to look at our country, but sure.
Foodstuffs (beef, dairy, grain)
potash
Energy (not just PNG); but hydro
mining
Auto / manufacturing
Also, as a Canadian, i dont care what kind of leverage Alberta has over the rest of Canada. I hope that Canada gets a good deal overall.
