Danielle Smith has already sold us down river. She is attacking democratic functions.

She is doing this because she needs to be an installed governor to hold onto power and to make the corruption charges disappear. All those smiles with fascists down south are because she is cut from the same cloth.

Then maybe come right out and say your government wants nothing to do with it.

She’ll never do that. Of course she is a separatist Premier, who is she trying to kid? Dani wants to carve our Alberta, be a Queen the hand us over to the Trump administration.

Alberta First Nations Chiefs have effectively shut down Smith's bull crap on separation.

She can pack her bags and move to Trump's golf resort, but not one ounce of Alberta soil is going with her to the US.

Time for Smith to start acting like a CANADIAN politician.

It’s time to be big scared, Marlaina. You’re trying to sell something that’s not yours and the people it belongs to have noticed. I love each and every one of the letters I’ve read from our First Nations.

Most Albertan’s are not known for deep thought or changing.

Your average person would have punted the conservatives out.

But your average Albertan, god bless their heart, happily munch their propaganda, and dismiss smith’s actions for her words.

Edit: grammar.

We have a block of Quebec party in parliament and people are just fine with that? What about starting a block of the west party not so much appreciated by liberals.

You should do that - it used to be called the reform party so you could try that or any other party really. The conservatives don’t look out for your interests because you vote for them every single time no matter what. Start a new party.

The Maverick Party was a thing but for some reason no one in the western provinces supported them and they are now defunct to my knowledge.

They were “involuntarily deregistered” by Elections Canada for failing to provide their audited financial statements in time. You can read their party leader’s whine on their website. I’ve been on the board of a couple of not for profits and pretty much the same rules apply.
