“Albertans deserve a clear answer, not another political bait-and-switch or another phase of strategic delay. A petition is not a referendum. If you want a mandate, seek it. If not, stop pretending one is always just over the horizon.”

Important read: “Had the reforms been tabled later, they would have drawn national attention and hurt Pierre Poilievre's federal Conservatives…Introducing the changes now minimizes that risk while placating UCP separatists and stoking the national unity crisis Smith and Manning promised.” #abpoli

“Alberta has been held captive by an identity that no longer reflects its people but is thrust upon us with fierce regularity. Some would even call it psychological conditioning.” It’s time to ditch the “typical Albertan,” the one with the cowboy hat and the bumper stickers. That’s simply not us.

The way this is not being taken seriously is alarming. There are separatists with the ear of the Alberta govt here, and likely assistance from the US, and Smith is easily the most selfish Premier we've ever had. She's setting things in motion that are dangerous and will haunt us forever.

Unfortunately, this is no joke: In the same week that Smith spent public funds on a trip to Florida to hang out with right-wing extremists, the UCP cut funding for snacks provided to kids undergoing cancer treatment. The UCP is incompetent, unethical, and cruel.

Danielle Smith is still headed to PragerU and there is no way she’s going to succeed in making the US back down on tariffs, which seems to be her stated goal. She operates in such a tiny bubble that she can’t see the damage she is doing. Incredibly poor judgement. This will be her legacy.
