Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is set to meet with reporters for the first time in a month on Thursday, with questions expected on health care, Crown prosecutors and perhaps her now-viral limp handshake with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Smith is set to update reporters in Calgary on her meeting with Trudeau in Ottawa and her concerns over the so-called federal "just transition" plan to help Canadian workers adapt to the global shift to more renewable energy.

Those meetings were overshadowed Tuesday by an awkward handshake between the two at a photo opportunity in which Trudeau appeared to have to reach, clutch, and pin the limp palm-down hand of a hesitant Smith.

She is also expected to comment further on Ottawa’s proposed new health funding deal, which would see the federal government shift $196 billion to the provinces and territories over the next decade in exchange for commitments to massively upgrade health-care data collection and digital medical records.
