The phrase ’A sovereign Alberta in the United Canada’ is stupid as the phrase ’alternative facts’. 🙄🤪 😑

Oxymorons, and real morons, seem to thrive in Smith's world. That tells us all we need to know about the head arsonist.

She's standing by the fire with a gas can in one hand, a blowtorch in the other and a Panamanian cigar in her mouth shrugging "Who? me?"

At least "alternative facts" is intended to be ironical.

Well written and very articulate but Smith will never respond to it because she would have to lie her way out

Siam Taylor's avatar

Thje saddest thing is that I don't think she would bother to read it- it is only from an ordinary Albertan with no donation attached to buy her attention

Cindy Chiasson's avatar

Sounds like something she’d nail!!

Please add the contamination of our water from coal mines that nobody wants, that will benefit no Albertans and that the vast majority of Albertans rejected over and over again.

Thank you for writing this excellent summary of Smith's treachery.

She is blatantly risking the AB economy and Canadian sovereignty to save her own neck.

However, is it not perverse to create such deep uncertainty that would risk investment in a new pipeline?

Unless this stunt is all about designing to fail...

Are Smith and her separatist "strategists" unleashing this chaos to provoke and ultimately break federalism?

Dividing and weakening Canada, especially its oil-rich province, aligns with the empire's interests.

And as with all things Trump, what is the underlying grift beneath the circus?

This is what I am thinking, as well. But you have written this so much more articulately than I ever could. Thank you.

My sentiments exactly. Well said!

This is a great letter to the creature in charge. Thank you for articulating what so many of us are thinking. The disgust you express is perfect. 🇨🇦

.. start asking the classic question re Political Malfeasance - Cui Bono ?

Being ‘the smartest person in the room’ is a minor league ‘benefit ..

Who Actually Benefits and/or WILL from what Danielle Smith & David Parker et al pulled off ?

Start with Stephen Harper .. Who else ? Fraud Involved ? A ‘deal ? Surely Carney knows ..

Start looking as this as an Ongoing Crime Scene.. because That’s What It Is NOW ! 🦎🏴‍☠️🧨

Smith is a liar. Period. Nothing that comes out of her mouth can be relied upon as she contradicts herself endlessly.

What I'm picking up on from Ontario is that Smith seems to be prolific in 'manipulated truths'. Rather than self evaluate and correct, she wears these lies as virtual lapel pins, carrying the manipulation forward as a signal of compliance with whatever dark forces are steering her at this time. We live as a country in the strangest dichtomy, where Canadians are searching for bonding and strength while quietly trembling at the prospect of Alberta separatist elements feeding national division, and supporting the predatory forces working to drive this division. The flagrant arrogance of Smith's interpretation of selective democracy is a key element in this fomenting separation crisis. Lying shouldn't be a badge of honour, and most of us would like accountability. I'm sure the tenuous policies of the UCP are simmering the pot of animousity. At least Ontario's Doug Ford is a open book with regard to fawning over the American megalomaniac. What a time to be alive.

The term “ baffle them in bs” definitely applies here.

From a friend in Grande Prairie whose 40ish son-in-law was just diagnosed with colorectal cancer …

“…He’s been begging for medical help for several months and didn’t get it. This medical system is deplorable. Grande Prairie Hospital’s OR’s have been shut down except for emergency surgeries for over a month now. Sterilization equipment has not been working for quite sometime and when reported to our hospital admin it was being ignored. (Dr XYZ) says they have found tissue from previous patients on instruments alsoblood.

Surgeons are fed up

“(Our son-in-law) even ASKED for a rectal exam in emergency in the middle of one night when his pain was soooo bad and they refused to do it. Oncologist says it would have been found back then if they’d done it.”

Fantastic!!

Smith is a traitor and should be charged with treason. She is a disgusting liar and deserves jail time.

Smith is a separatist. Let me say it again. She is a separatist. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, sounds like a duck, does duck-like things, hangs around other ducks, and all the rest, it is a duck.

The only questions I have are these: how much was Danielle Smith offered by Trump and regime to break up Canada? $50M, $100M, $1B? How much? Because every single thing she has done is to open the door, and shove the separatist movement through it. Everything.

Let's not pretend this is a political move. It's a separatist move, and we need to call it out as it is.

She would not have been elected if she ran on separatism, so she hid it, with her other UCP MPs that are separatist, in order to get elected. Then lied, and misrepresented everything she did to throw you off her real mission. Breaking up Canada and delivering Alberta to the Trump MAGA regime.

Alberta you unknowingly elected a separatist party. Your Premier is a separatist and a traitor. Plain speak, no chaser.

Thank you for highlighting the 100% mark up in private surgical costs. Albertans need to understand that results in 50% fewer surgeries. That means that many more Albertans are living with chronic, often debilitating, pain. It is unconscionable what Smith has done to healthcare and Albertans.

Thanks for this, encapsulates what so many of us think. But the challenge now is not recognition of the issues, it’s acting on them. Complacency by the majority (stay) in October and/or when an election finally happens is our biggest risk. The good news for conservatives is that there now is an alternative genuine conservative option, the Tory Party. Regardless of whether someone votes Tory or NDP, for the greater good of Alberta and Canada, participation by educating ourselves and voting is the key.

She’s part of the IDU! What did you expect!? This is what that organization does…mislead mislead mislead for their own agenda. Only when it’s apparent it is too late. They are NOT conservative!
