Is there no law or anything at all to get her to step down? With what comes out of her mouth, she must’ve broke some rule. I thought our elected officials work for us and echo our current sentiments? She’s not doing her job
Traitor
AB it’s high time to get rid of this corrupt traitor. I’ll have no respect for AB until Nenshi is Premier.
I have no idea what Albertans see in her. Canadians seem to be so blinded by hate that they vote in the worst people.
Oil companies run the country, along with a couple other big players like the guy who owns Loblaws. They say jump and Alberta plays along. Danielle Smith is just the latest in their long running series of mouthpieces
All they see is blue, and honestly their lack of reading comprehension and oversaturation of American news is to blame
What a fartknocker!
I hope she dies a horrible death. Like at least 5 minutes of burning.
You’re not a martyr because people are being mean about your barely-contained interest in collaborating, you fascist oil-lobbyist piece of shit.
It was a whole speech and everything.
no no… let her yelp… i honestly think this is helping… the more she yelp, the more people switch over or make sure PP won’t win
Diplomatic efforts is an interesting way to describe asking Nazis to interfere in our elections.
I just read an article on reddit that said she’s taking a group down to the US with her with the goal of separating from Canada/joining the US. I have genuine concerns for our country.
Kinda sounds like treason, but I don’t know anything about Canadian law.
There was just an outcry for her inviting election interference from the US. Officials did not agree, very frustrating.
i hope this very small group tries. the vast majority of albertans wouldnt stand for it. it may be what leads to her getting removed and potentially charged for treason, depending on what she does by the end.
I want her tried for fucking treason. Oil and Gas WAS cool. Now we seriously need to push for hydrogen and renewable energy for independence and competitiveness. Look at China and that’s all you need to see

Alberta and Saskatchewan are the sunniest provinces in Canada. If they embrace solar energy, they could be the Solar Capital of Canada.
But, think of those poor, poor big oil CEOs! /s
Honestly just as it was in the 70s, America’s oil interests are impacting our country moving forward. Imagine if we had just nationalized it😔
I sincerely hope you are right. I always have to remind myself reddit/Lemmy are the ‘Left’. I thought there was a chance Doug Ford was going to get voted out from reading reddit last month. Instead, landslide victory with dismal voter turn out.
Near record low voter turn out which is proof we really did need an emergency election. It defintely wasn’t a propaganda fueled power grab with a little bribe tossed in. What the fuck happened to our country.
"During Wednesday’s afternoon session in the Alberta Legislature, Smith said she’s been unjustly criticized for her attempts to persuade officials that a trade war between the U.S. and Canada would be a bad idea. She defended her strategy, characterizing her actions as entering the “lion’s den” to change the hearts and minds of Americans that Canada needs on its side.
“I will not be silent. Alberta will not be silent. We will not be pushed around and called traitors for merely having the courage to actually do something about our nation’s and province’s predicament, other than merely indulging in self-righteous tantrums,” Smith said.
She should gtfo of Canada and stay out. How she ever got elected is such a stain on Alberta.
Entering the lion’s den to offer the lion a handjob and offer Alberta as tribute, more like.
Smelling farts doesn’t count as diplomacy
Wants to break any agreements that impact the oil industry, complains about the forest fires.
I have a hard time reading about these people because I always have to wonder if they know what they’re doing and don’t care, or if they believe what they say.
Some people have seen Trump elevate his cronies in a way that looks like an easy ride to the top if you don’t have a conscience. It seems like she wants in on that circle.
Calgary needs to step it up next election to oust her. They’re the reason shes in power.
The Conservatives need to step up and oust her yesterday.
Seriously, they want to win so hard they’re willing to sell our country out, but they refuse to acknowledge that denouncing this would show actual leadership and win back a bunch of the shift toward the Liberals.
I mean, in the grand scheme it’s better for Canada for the Conservatives to fuck up and lose, but it’s still not clear enough that will happen. Somehow, there’s still enough Canadians who support these fuckups.
Nenshi is going to eat her breakfast.
I mean, we’ll see. I don’t have a lot of hope.
I mean, she was very close (1300 votes) to losing the last election against not-Nenshi, and without any scandals. It’s far from a longshot.
He was popular enough to be their mayor until he decided not to run for a fourth term, and Calgary has generally not been adverse to voting NDP before, so I’d say its Nenshi’s race to lose.
And for reference, It’s basically a 3-part game in Alberta. Edmonton, which always will vote NDP, Calgary, and everything else which will mostly go UCP but is a competition in places like Red Deer and Lethbridge.
until after the election
Says it all, really.
She basically says: Can you put a pause on hurting everyone until AFTER I’m elected?
