She has to be the worst Canadian, let alone "leader", in Canada. She slaps on some makeup, gets on a plane funded by the taxpayers and goes to kiss the asses of the people who want to destroy Canada as a nation, then comes home and whines constantly about being treated unfairly. STFU

How about a vote on Danielle Smith leaving Canada

She can go wherever she would like. Just not here

acs2468.bsky.social•80 days ago

Can we vote on making Danielle leave Canada?

vp2024.bsky.social•81 days ago

Smith’s incompetence in governing is appalling. #Alberta has recvd over 140B from Canadian Gov. what has she done with it? Alberta you can do better vote for someone who is more competent. Alberta do u really want to go down the catastrophic path as U.S. Think carefully. Vote responsibly.

Danielle Smith has committed treason. I think we still have the death penalty for that.

boomersinthehouse.bsky.social•81 days ago

This is so ridiculous. What would their tax base be? From what source(s)?

notjustthestones.bsky.social•80 days ago

All of the lovely oil & gas would belong to only Alberta! The rest of the world would come on their knees to beg to be allowed some of queen batshit's oil riches! /🙄🤪

I mean, have you seen some of the crazy stuff the Brexit lot believe(d) in 🇬🇧? "The world's automakers will be begging to build factories in 🇬🇧" "We'll be free of regulations"
None of it true, none of it happened. 1st country to have imposed economic sanctions on itself.
I think 🇺🇸 is the 2nd.

As someone who went to school with her once posted, we're simply pawns for her libertarian theories.

bikepilot.bsky.social•80 days ago

Admittedly Albertans are a breed apart (I visit there several times a year) but I believe that they are steadfast loyal Canadians.
Don’t ever mistake their swagger like Smith seems to have.

kuposan.bsky.social•80 days ago

Unfortunately her demands was that she would have the right to total economic anarchy in regards to regulation, pollution and supplying a hostile nation with the means to invade us with tariff free oil from Alberta. She is a traitor and needs to be removed now.

bernardette.bsky.social•80 days ago

Watching the U.S.implode thanks to the current administration, Trumps obvious hostility towards Canada, should give pause to this talk.

mllp1962.bsky.social•81 days ago

She's a traitor.

simonrenouf.bsky.social•81 days ago

For those of you who don't live in Alberta, please be aware that there is virtually zero support for separatism in Alberta. Alberta has never elected a provincial government committed to separatism or sovereignty. This is all a desperate attempt by Smith to develop some relevance. It won't work.

bittergrounds.bsky.social•80 days ago

Thank you for posting this. It's easy to lose perspective.

ccope.bsky.social•80 days ago

Alberta First Nations beg to disagree with her. She forgets the 3 treaty areas/regions across Alberta. They have said NO. She has no right to be talking separatism or leaving it up to others.

timquerengesser.bsky.social•80 days ago

An often silenced voice in the discussion for sure.

troyliss.bsky.social•81 days ago

Basically, no regulations limiting O&G production, but the rest of Canada needs to help build pipelines. Also, all federal taxes collected in Alberta have to go straight back into Alberta (preferably through the provincial govt.) Oh, and repeal firearms legislation and the Canada Health Act. 🙃

ramirezplayer.bsky.social•80 days ago

Apparently we need to let them have "unfettered " free access to land in other provinces to run pipelines through...yeah OK...feel free to do that to MN and SK.

noelinmiocene.bsky.social•81 days ago

"Respect" in this case is a weasel word that the maple magas want to use whenever they think it might get them something. Whatever that something is this week. Other than that it's meaningless because their world isn't big enough. They can't see any further than the Calgary tower.

loritbay.bsky.social•81 days ago

She is a danger to the unity of Canada. Alberta is a puzzle to me. Whingers like some south of the border.

thinktanking.bsky.social•81 days ago

It was almost an NDP government by a few 1000 votes in Calgary. She took a hard turn right to appease her even smaller crazier base. She's not Alberta.

pegarama.bsky.social•80 days ago

We had a reasonable NDP gov't from 2014 to 2019.
People who don't understand basic math blamed Rachel Notley for the drop in world oil prices.
But her negotiations with Trudeau are the reason we have a pipeline to the coast.
Harper is beloved by these same people and he did nothing but harm.

franktexas.bsky.social•80 days ago

'Smith is no separatist'? She is you know.

pegarama.bsky.social•80 days ago

VOTE LIBERAL in such massive numbers they figure out that they are risking their jobs with this BS.
Daniellezebub lives in an echo chamber; she hosts a RW talk radio show and thinks the cretins who call her are the majority.
Let's show her they are not!

Opportunistic is too nice a word for someone trying to capitalize on a crisis. It's unethical and unCanadian.

timgoos.bsky.social•81 days ago

I think you have a toddler at home. Same Same. Alberta is a whiny toddler that did or didn't want the crusts cut off the bread -- whatever Ottawa does is wrong.

canadiancarol.bsky.social•81 days ago

With DS, PP, and DT we now have the trifecta of stupidity 😡
