„What right does Ottawa have to Alberta’s wealth?“
„What right does Edmonton have to Ft McMurray’s wealth?“
„What right does Ft McMurray have to Suncor’s wealth?“
And that’s not even touching on the Indigenous rights/Treaty issues at stake. What a ridiculous political charade to distract from a failing, corrupt, and incompetent government.

Can we have an independent investigation that looks into U.S. meddling in Alberta elections with the help of Marlaina Smith? Seems such a thing should be fully investigated.

„Sovereign Alberta inside a United Canada“ is the most mealy-mouthed bullshit I’ve heard recently.
The_Bat_Voice on
For those outside of Alberta and Canada let me paint what a piece of shit this lady is:
The leader of the United Conservative Party in Alberta, Danielle Smith, is the one pushing this. She is under multiple investigations by the RCMP right now, including not disclosing donors, handing out billion dollar contracts to foreign companies without allowing local groups to bid, the leadership election scandal… I could go on. So I will.
She asked Donald Trump to pause the tariffs war so that the more favorable to Trump candidates, Pierre Pollievre and the federal Conservative Party, would be more likely to win. Danielle Smith was quoted as saying Her, Pierre Pollievre, and Trump see eye to eye on Trumps vision of North America. It is extremely illegal to ask a foreign entity, never mind a foreign government, to assist in an election, even more so once an election is imminent.
She doubled the cost of healthcare by forcing contracts onto private organizations, all while reducing the amount of service provided.
She spent $5,800 per bottle on children’s tylenol. Wasting millions of taxpayers dollars.
She intimidated and fired AHS board members who were investigating the questionable private healthcare contracts to privatized surgeons. She then fired all of them on the day they were to hand their investigation to the RCMP. She then enstated a single person in place of the board, her own deputy chief of staff, to the health minister.
She handed healthcare deals to the wife of the former health minister.
That same former health minister showed up drunk on the front lawn of a surgeons private residence who criticized him online in an attempt to intimidate him.
She handed the same minister and other former UCP members, including a former party leader, control of several rural hospitals after they left party due to losing their seats in the election. These hospitals are all now „religious healthcare facilities“ that have the right to deny abortions.
Her party made it so new doctors are forced into practices their education did not cover. For example, a new doctor who specializes in brain surgery is forced to work as a general practitioner in a rural area.
She has spent tax payer money to undercut the unity of Canada to go speak and attend MAGA rallies and events.
Her minister of justice was caught trying to make a deal with a chief of police to get out of speeding tickets.
Her former minister of education said she didn’t believe in public education. She was then made the health minister, and yes, she is the one caught up in the current scandals.
Smith has also sided with Alberta sepratists according to statements directly from the sepratists.
She is backed by the religious organization Take Back Alberta, who are also under investigation for tax evasion and illegal foreign donations.
She contracted out the medical industry lab testing to Dynalife. They then turned around and filed for insolvency after only 90 days with the contract. Then, Smith paid to buy the company and gave the board of the failing company cushy bonuses for it. All of this after she paid for the cancelation of the construction of a new modern medical public super lab.
One of her members called trans kids the „shit nuggets that ruin the cookies for everyone“. Who she let stay as a member even after she proved she still stood by her remarks after „sensitivity training“.
She is attempting to pull Alberta’s pension plans out of the joint Canadian Pension Plan, the best performing pension plan in the world, so she can invest it all in oil and gas. Recent polls done by their own offi e have this at a 20% approval rating.
She wants to create a provincial police force that answers only to her office so she can kick out the RCMP. Coincidentally, the same police force that is in charge of the numerous investigations of scandals she is involved in.
She tried to get the Justice Minister to pull strings over the criminal case of a religious nut who was involved in the trucker convoy and was planning to shoot RCMP officers. This resulted in only having her apologize to the legislature after the ethics commission found she had contravened the Conflicts of Interest Act.
She has promoted anti-vax policies and dedicated funding to alternative snake oil health options. She also called unvaccinated people the „most discriminated group of people she’s ever seen.“ And has delisted several vaccines from Alberta’s health coverage.
She has led Alberta to be the number 1 in cases of measles in the developed world.
She canceled fines for those who broke covid restriction laws.
She passed laws that made it law that teachers have to out trans and gay kids to their parents, regardless of if the teacher thinks it is safe or not. They also tried to ban Gay Straight Alliances in schools.
She made it illegal for trans kids to receive healthcare.
She has been siding with the pedophiles and pedophile defenders down south to the detriment of the nation.
They reduced funding for education and healthcare to the lowest levels in Canada

Alberta has had so much oil propaganda that they act like it’s their entire culture, their claim isnt legal or cultural like Quebec’s, they are just latching onto the same destructive rhetoric as the corrupt states.
Anyone want to take bets which oil company smith plans on working at when she leaves office?

If you are Canadian who’s kept up with Canadian affairs over the years, you’ll know that there is no chance of an Alberta secession. The fact that Quebec has stayed within federation despite, by all account, a very unique and distinct culture separated by language, religion (both when they were Catholic and now in their ideas of secularism), history of actual race / ethnic suppression by English Canada etc etc in and of itself should kill the idea that an Alberta secession would ever happen anytime soon.
Seriously, Alberta cannot stake its cultural claim on oil and conservatism as a serious foundation to fuel a genuine secession movement. Even Danielle herself doesn’t actually believe in it or that it would work, which is why whenever it comes to working with Carney she plays a team Canada tune nowadays. She genuinely is just using the sessions movement as a way to give spooky reminders to Carney as leverage for her demands, that’s genuinely all there is to it.
Genuine secessionists should recognize they’re being used by her as a bargaining chip between her & Carney, that’s about the extent of her interest in it

Imagine being so incompetent as a premier, and a politician in general, that you have to try and separate a land-locked province from Canada to be an independent nation. It’s insane. Maybe try to govern your province competently first before trying to “gain independence”.
This is an act to “rile up the base”. It’s pathetic
Edit: The only way Alberta could function independently from Canada would be to join the US or become a client state of theirs. If this isn’t just bad politics, it’s treason. Which Smith has a history of dipping her toes in lately…

The rest of Canada should invade Alberta if they try to separate.
I bet the Albertans are fun at parties…
Alberta’s Premier also enjoys gallavanting with Trump and his ilk… on Canadian tax dollars.
