Smith: “For the foreseeable future we will still be on the roller-coaster of natural resource revenues. That's a problem that got created over decades. It's a problem I inherited"
Correct. And it’s a problem that you actively MADE WORSE by doubling down on oil and hamstringing renewables. Idiot.

Why do you suppose after meeting with Trump officials, Alberta separatists quietly switched their referendum question from wanting Alberta to become a ”sovereign country” to becoming an ”independent state”?
Like the 51’st state? Like Puerto Rico with no elected representatives?

I watched cross country check up on CBC. They tell us not to denigrate the separatists as it will only harden their resolve. I don’t care. Listening to these people, I am struck by how profoundly stupid they are. JFC! So incredibly stupid.

As I just said on radio Jamil Jivani going on his own publicity stunt to Trump under the auspices of ‘strategic diplomacy’ just embarrassed himself. We need serious leaders in this critical time not showboats.
“Jamil Jivani does a publicity stunt leveraging his friendship with his BFF JD Vance, makes a fool of himself, Carney brushes him off with a dismissive burn and he either thinks 51st State thing is a lock or he’s coming for Poilievre job.”

Yes, Danielle Smith is a separatist
Alberta's premier says she supports "a sovereign Alberta within a united Canada." Her actions tell a much different story — one that makes her position on the issue impossible to ignore.
