Without popular support for separation, she has seriously limited options. But Moscrop is exactly right: this is live ammo-stuff now, the way Brexit was, the way Trump as a candidate was. She is reckless, and part of a political movement of delusion and dishonesty. Very dangerous
Danielle Smith is playing fast and loose with the future of the country. It seems like a long shot that Alberta would vote to leave, but who knows what happens once you start down this path. It’s a live-ammo outing now.

So the plan is that economic growth will cause the budget to balance itself?
First impression of the CPC platform: they're booking a lot of projected future revenue from projected future economic growth.
The LPC platform explicitly did not do that. Neither did the CPC platform in 2021.
