She really thought bending the knee would work

stsuous.bsky.social•4 days ago

Canadians and Albertans? Are we not Canadians, too? You are a little too late to the party, but glad to hear you are supporting our PM for a change. Please don’t waste any more money on border patrols! That’s Federal!!! As you so very often say, stay in your lane!

"Now is the time..."

Really? Now? Not last month? Now.

"I will have more to say tomorrow" dear Anoia, our Goddess Of Petty Irritations, please let her spawn Lego in her shoes as she steps up to the podium, hail Anoia. *makes sign of the Holy Egg Slicer*

nls5.bsky.social•4 days ago

She’s not serious. She wants to please trump. That’s been obvious for months.

prairiesam.bsky.social•4 days ago

Well.....she obviously thought she could steer tRump away with her charm. Like, come on!

anniegirl.bsky.social•4 days ago

Because until today, Smith was a collaborator. That she's suddenly not means shit is far more serious than they are telling us because only something truly dire would motivate her to stand with Canada.

poliscirish.bsky.social•4 days ago

She has changed tack because Trudeau traded retaliatory oil tariffs for her acquiescence, and because she has seen Poilievre's polling numbers in a dive not seen since yesterday's NYSE and seeks to avoid the same fate.

Whether she sees the much more ominous writing on the wall is questionable.

failboatcaptain.bsky.social•4 days ago

She still is

originalaurelia.bsky.social•4 days ago

They were only theoretical tariffs before. Now she knows we are all screwed

jamestcanadian.bsky.social•4 days ago

Dani thought the HJs under the table with Daddy trump & O'leary would have gotten her what she wanted. she honestly thought she & by extension Alberta would be exempt.

gigibu.bsky.social•3 days ago

She was kissing cheetos ass and though the spit shine would work.

She was wrong.

Now back to the drawing board.
Fack🤦‍♀️

WHEN THE FUCK IS SHE LEAVING?!🤷😡

jlroberrts.bsky.social•4 days ago

I think she planned to just go along with Trump. She thought he base was as MAGA as her, and surprisingly, she waas wrong.

charlesbcampbell.bsky.social•4 days ago

The UCP plan is becoming the 51st state.

ruz-el.bsky.social•4 days ago

Trying to curry popular favour due to the AHS scandal. Hence a complete flip-flop on policy. A standard Smithian practice as she has zero moral compass outside of self preservation.

taylorzerkee.bsky.social•4 days ago

She's been too busy trying to please Trump!

mygiddyhorse.bsky.social•4 days ago

Danielle Smith told CNBC today that Alberta will not be retaliating. I wonder why???

Maralargaina Smith is a quisling. She needs to step down and shut the fuck up.

lylebeaudoin.bsky.social•4 days ago

I’m not uniting with the likes of Danielle Smith.

edwinmundt.bsky.social•4 days ago

A day late and a dollar short. Staying away from today's news cycle.

kmkohle.bsky.social•4 days ago

katalinlang.bsky.social•4 days ago

Instead of being an outlier Premier, she should have been aligning herself with her fellow Premiers and working constructively within our borders instead of trying to ingratiate herself to the US administration who didn’t even notice her presence.

htee72.bsky.social•4 days ago

Fan'girl was holding out all kinds of hope that she would be the chosen one.... She already through under the bus today on fox.

shiftfocus99.bsky.social•3 days ago

It’s her confessed weakness: she has no BS detector. She believed it was about fentanyl, and migrants. She believed Trump was a rational actor. That it was all a tactic.

Her gullibility is dangerous.

i-liketrains.bsky.social•4 days ago

Tbf it’s hard to prepare when you’re busy hitting journalists with injunctions, responding to corruptcare, creating awful budgets, and dealing with internal revolt.

krista-paints.bsky.social•4 days ago

So now she's a team player? Sure.

chronosschiron.bsky.social•4 days ago

its plan is to take it in arse from trump and pick up the splattering's off floor

enorconhcet.bsky.social•4 days ago

Did someone write this for her?

kwoolsey.bsky.social•4 days ago

Go Alberta! Planning is for losers!

donlafrance1.bsky.social•4 days ago

They had to wait for polling

debcnp.bsky.social•4 days ago

She just found out that licking trumps shoes didn’t work. Who knew?

myrrhso.bsky.social•4 days ago

Stupid is as stupid does

dalevoight.bsky.social•4 days ago

Because in their core the Danielle Smiths, Devin Dreeshans and Jenni Byrnes of Canada don’t see Trump as a threat. They are fellow travellers.

marvelgeek1980.bsky.social•4 days ago

For the love god Danielle please please be on Canada’s side. Please fight for OUR COUNTRY… we all know there are tons of mapleMaga scumbags here who want you to hand us over to America. If you have an Ounce of integrity and courage in you, stand up for OUR COUNTRY 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️

htee72.bsky.social•4 days ago

She was, until she hit the 'Merican news outlets lol

rubberduckcanuk.bsky.social•4 days ago

She actually thought that all that sucking up would work? Dictators cannot be appeased, lady.

paul-pothier.bsky.social•4 days ago

Maybe if she’d worn high heels, a shorter and tighter skirt, and dyed her hair blonde … a lot more makeup too maybe?

rubberduckcanuk.bsky.social•4 days ago

The abuser says look what you made me do to you

charlestonlake.bsky.social•4 days ago

And here Danielle was criticizing Trudeau and his government that they were doing nothing. The liberal government has been working for weeks on this trade war.

according2luke.bsky.social•4 days ago

Provinces and Territories with US alcohol bans.
Ahem. Who's missing?

Ontario
Nova Scotia
New Brunswick
Prince Edward Island
Quebec
Manitoba
Newfoundland & Labrador

Northwest Territories
Yukon

British Columbia - partial ban for US red states

sun2grey.bsky.social•4 days ago

Of course omg 🤦🏼‍♀️

mlm7.bsky.social•4 days ago

No excuse. Alberta likes to say we can't because we're private. It's BS. The AGLC controls every single reality in Alberta Liquor. End of story. If you're a Canadian importer of American alcohol go find some new lines

spokewitch.bsky.social•4 days ago

She was too busy dodging scandals and vacationing in Panama to formulate a coherent response. They only know how to react, not plan.

steve-p47.bsky.social•4 days ago

It's like she has been living in her own little fantasy world since being elected premier. 🙄

Either that or a cave.

Both being entirely possible.

calgarycanuck.bsky.social•4 days ago

I saw the clip of Danielle Smith on CNBC this morning and she sounded very weak and defeated. What I heard: "my dearest Donald how could you do this to me". Her inability to immediately address the province and take questions from the press show's just how unequipped she is to be Premiere.

asdshawna.bsky.social•4 days ago

She was more about the businesses suffering in the US when asked about changes to oil and gas.

calgarycanuck.bsky.social•4 days ago

And she continued to talk about addressing the nonexistent border issues parroting Trumps lies. Smith is completely unable to deal with the reality of this crisis and needs to step down.

pharmaconn.bsky.social•4 days ago

I think maybe it's because she also believed the pipeline of propaganda that others are a victim of but she's not in on the joke that it's all lies.

l82be.bsky.social•4 days ago

Danielle Smith lives in a Fantasy Land of her own making. #ableg

glendaaus.bsky.social•4 days ago

I can’t stand watching her but I already knew she would have thought she could stop it. He called her Danelle 😆

lethbridgephotoart.bsky.social•4 days ago

She knows his agenda, and supports it. Alberta, USA coming soon.

tbbt2424.bsky.social•4 days ago

THIS! I emailed two months ago to my MLA and literally nothing. Said they were working on it and would help all industries. But clearly not.

vanessasaurus.bsky.social•4 days ago

I think about Nenshi during the floods and then Smith during this crisis. Nenshi inspired people and Smith won't even address them. He would be so much more competent as Premiere.

rbrn100.bsky.social•4 days ago

Because our Trumpanzee boot-licking Premier took the. Chamberlain route… turned out, metaphorically speaking, to be the entirely wrong one…. AGAIN!

dejrfan.bsky.social•4 days ago

Danielle is a day late and a dollar short to the party... what a reckless moron.

habpipes.bsky.social•4 days ago

Saskatchewan is even further behind because Scott is waiting to copy Smith's homework.

brad365.bsky.social•4 days ago

Their is no going back to the way it was. Time to get with the times and realise the US is no longer an ally. Should of had a plan a month ago and not been down their licking boots

zombiehockeytat.bsky.social•4 days ago

Guess she is finally realizing the Trump just aint that into her!

skeematic.bsky.social•4 days ago

Hard to focus on tariffs that will negatively effect your constituents when said constituents are starting to call for your head.

gertruxe.bsky.social•4 days ago

Danielle Smith = Maple MAGA

infotransfer.bsky.social•4 days ago

She learned from the best (of liars). Promise them whatever they need to hear but never deliver. Passive aggressively drag your feet to action so you can say you are on team Canada while never actually doing anything.

dcrinyyc.bsky.social•4 days ago

She hopes if she screws around long enough people will forget about the open corruption surrounding healthcare privatization.

abresistance.bsky.social•4 days ago

Why is Danielle Smith the only one who can never seem to read the room? She is not a leader.

gr8fuldad.bsky.social•4 days ago

She’s a reactionary. She can’t plan ahead. Reckless is another word.

abresistance.bsky.social•4 days ago

Arrogant too

karenmedora.bsky.social•4 days ago

She never was a leader.

canadrie8.bsky.social•4 days ago

Serious question-do we think her long game is to sell Alberta to the US?

ruz-el.bsky.social•4 days ago

I'm surprised that hasn't already been announced

carmar13.bsky.social•4 days ago

She’d sell all of our asses out if she could.

tamarish.bsky.social•4 days ago

Omg she’s such an embarrassment!

bogs-of-the-wood4.bsky.social•4 days ago

And proof that Mad Cow disease in AB is not totally eradicated.

prairies.bsky.social•4 days ago

She refused to back team Canada. She thought she alone could solve it.. so why bother ? She’s tanking in the polls or she’d never do this

theplanisnoplan.bsky.social•4 days ago

Read the comments on her post. They are all pissed she said this because they want to be the 51st. Half a brain cell between them all.

prairies.bsky.social•4 days ago

US sponsored trolls are pounding Alberta. They have billboards already and and rallies upcoming. But w 4+million people they can’t rally but a handful of Albertans. Piss on them, media I say, don’t shine a light

theplanisnoplan.bsky.social•4 days ago

Thank you for this reminder. The world is heavy and dark but what you say reminds me there is light and we need to direct it appropriately.

therealelaschuk.bsky.social•4 days ago

She knows that she’s already lost her base of nutty, wexiter crowd so I guess she’s gonna try to salvage anything she can.

nikkibc.bsky.social•4 days ago

Alberta, once again a day late and a dollar short.

rendie.bsky.social•4 days ago

I think the simple answer is that the Premier and others around her believed they could get exemptions. That they could argue they are on the same side as Trump and get a better deal and screw Canada.

That is becoming obviously untrue now and they are trying to scramble.

lethbridgephotoart.bsky.social•4 days ago

Her agenda is to join the USA. She’s Trumpette

kimberwitch.bsky.social•4 days ago

Smith was holding out hope that he’d ask her to the prom.

jerrygilroy.bsky.social•4 days ago

Let's give Marlaina some space. That's a real kick in the Mraiches.

toszman.bsky.social•4 days ago

Danielle Smith and the UCP have the collective brain power of a wet fart.

mikefarough.bsky.social•4 days ago

total capitulation is her plan

apocalypto62.bsky.social•4 days ago

She wants to have her cake and eat it too.
She wants to be the first Guv of Alberta.
She's seditious.

1handed.bsky.social•4 days ago

She is as useless as tits on a snake.
She's made a complete mess of everything in the eons she's been premier, so it makes perfect sense to "trust " her plan for all of us

mantalicious.bsky.social•4 days ago

Dani was working on it but she couldn’t find a way to contract Sam Mraiche for it

ydsink.bsky.social•4 days ago

Well it's a Real problem in Alberta when you can't really blame PMJT for your issues..what to do? Anyway Smith is waiting on instructions from her o&g bosses..she needs to resign!!

jessadee.bsky.social•4 days ago

Smith & her ideological fellow travellers really believed they could secure an exemption for Alberta by appeasing the tyrant.

Terrible instincts.

feliperealmotor.bsky.social•4 days ago

I will have more to say tomorrow ....

dontwantnofash.bsky.social•4 days ago

And even now, after the backlash to her weaselly Trump appeasement forced her to get with Team Canada, her only idea for stimulating the economy is fossil fuel resource projects.

Nothing else occurs to her, certainly not allowing windmills and solar to bring investment and jobs to Alberta.

beewee64.bsky.social•4 days ago

I was coming to comment that her only concern seems to be fossil fuel resource projects.

laurieinyyc.bsky.social•4 days ago

Because Dani truly believed that her charm and "diplomacy" would win Trumpty over.

amwpetzie.bsky.social•3 days ago

She was busy vacationing and kissing the ring.

bcreality.bsky.social•4 days ago

SO basically her gallivanting around following her political crush hasn't worked out as planned. The hair highlights, the travel costs, her attending the inauguration etc etc, did SQUAT for Albertans.

hab3261.bsky.social•4 days ago

But she got some great selfies 😍

inhalo123.bsky.social•4 days ago

The Miasmic Stench of Mr. Von Shitzinhispants is Strong with this One...

hab3261.bsky.social•4 days ago

I learned a new word "Miasmic" - who says social media doesn't have value 😍

carmie1054.bsky.social•4 days ago

You beat me to the punch.

randchange.bsky.social•4 days ago

“Now is the time we must unite” which is why we will wait and see what measures other provinces announce before we decide what the absolute minimum we can get away with is- Danielle

kirstenmg.bsky.social•4 days ago

Because Madame Dummy thought selfies with the orange menace made her special. He couldn’t point her out of a line up even if she was wearing her name on her shirt! Now we’re screwed, yet again, by continued UCP incompetence.
