No. There is recall legislation in Alberta but not a chance of that happening because it's bad and she's in the Medicine Hat riding which won't go for it.
Smith herself really doesn't need to be recalled per say. There are a number of other constituents that were decided by around 500 votes. I believe only 5 of them need to be recalled in order for the UCP to not have a majority. https://ABResistance.ca is the main organization looking into this.
Alberta is getting screwed,no response. Ottawa spent 30.1 billion dollars building the transmountain pipeline which is over 7000 dollars for every man,woman and child in the province. I for one wish they would build another one. Time for Canada to take full advantage of being a Pacific Ocean nation.
Too bad big oil has brainwashed Alberta so they “dont believe” in facts or care about the future of humanity and they do believe that Smith is competent or ever was working for their best interests.
I appreciate the sentiment, but I don’t see it happening outside of an election loss for her. As for Alberta doing things “their own way”, they have a history of this kind of behaviour. It usually results in extracting some sort of concessions from the Federal government.
And the rest of us have a history of letting them away with their behaviour. Hopefully that will end soon. Danielle smith might be their boss but she’s not mine.
Great, that means people are doing their research. They need to check Pierre as well but we are off to a positive start. Keep up the knowledge Canada. 🇨🇦
Build these people a pipeline to access other markets because they insist that that’s absolutely necessary and they will insist on selling oil to the US at a discount anyway.
OK .... but Danielle Smith spent 7 years fangirling about making some US-Alberta deal w US rw states when she was a talkshow host, and just 2 months ago she was reaffirmed as UCP leader with 91.5% of the vote.
Albertans know who she is and what she stands for.
5000 UCP members were involved in that vote. It was a closed vote and only those UCP members who were there in person could vote. There are 4.5 million people in Alberta.
Are you getting the picture?
What she and her fellow Basket of Deplorables don’t get is they think they hold the options for the province. Every major and minor decision that province is put through goes through - that’s right - the Indigenous Peoples who are the rightful landowners.
canada-wide, 'kevin o'leary height' only comes in at #18, barely beating out 'who is kevin o'leary' but at least doing better than 'did kevin o'leary make his wife take the fall for hitting that guy with a boat' which i don't even see on the list
Huh. Who could have known that Albertans outside of the UCP/TBA cabal firmly know we're Canadians first & foremost.
Hey @calgaryherald.com maybe all the predictably shallow Rick Bell and Don Braid love-in pieces for Smith are out of touch on this. Digging up 40 year old references to PET 🙄 pathetic

Alberta needs a new Premier.

NOT a provincial mandate, just a in-crowd vanity vote
You had to be able to afford to travel to Red Deer and pay the admission to the meetings to vote.
