Outside of rural Alberta, there's a shift in the mentality of the Alberta voter. We are Canadians first and we see firsthand the disaster that is Danielle Smith. Her endorsement of PP was a red flag to many urban Albertans. He should have told her to keep her fool mouth shut (good luck with that).
"Every time Smith + Manning open their mouths, they remind people that they’re willing — proud, even — to put AB 1st, whether it’s in dealing with Trump or Carney. That might play well in Conservative Calgary, but it lands very differently in key regions like Quebec, Ontario + Atlantic Canada...."
Manning's recent column "serves as a useful reminder that for all his recent talk about the importance of ending division, Poilievre’s brand of Conservatism — one that Manning essentially helped create and nurture — remains inextricably rooted in a culture of bottomless grievance and anger."
"Smith’s ongoing attempts at appeasing the Trump admin + her suggestion that Poilievre is a natural ally of Trump’s, have been an in-kind donation to the Liberal campaign. It’s almost as though Smith knows she needs a Liberal govt in Ottawa to distract Albertans from her own scandals + failings."
"She’s not about to lay low any time soon. 'I don’t shut up,' she said in response to Carney’s light ribbing of her diplomatic efforts. ... Carney almost certainly loves it, given the lift her comments keep giving his campaign in the rest of the country. Poilievre, on the other hand, must hate it."
These individuals — and Danielle Smith — need to publicly state their intentions.
Albertans deserve clarity, not speculation.
We want to know: Are they on Team Canada or not?
Smith (and Manning, supporting her) are clearly aligned with USA before Canada
She's sold out and stolen from her province a dozen times. It's awkward to watch, it's so blatant. She doesn't give a shit about Canada, or about AB... though she clearly cares about O&G... very likely being paid by them
Yes, Albertans will still vote Conservative.
But Danielle Smith and Preston Manning are alienating the rest of the country.
Works great for *them*, but not Poilievre.
But she painted her toe nails red that's gotta count for something.
"As she sat down for her fireside chat, Smith slipped off her shoe and wiggled her toes, which were painted red, saying, “I’m Team Canada right down to my toes.”
The federal version remains a minoritarian party but they're still a somewhat diverse coalition compared to the Alberta version which is very homogenously MAGA.
Danielle Smith needs the Federal Liberals to win so she can keep stirring up false anger. If the CPC for government who would she blame for all the issues she has caused?
And as we witnessed a Sask Party MLA had a bozo eruption this week calling Singh a terrorist. Scott Moe....I accept her apology, really, how about those she offended?

I would love to see an early election call in AB and have Nenshi deal with Carney in Ottawa. We may finally have adults at the table.

It is as part of their identity it’s generationally ingrained like in Texas.
But Danielle Smith and Preston Manning are alienating the rest of the country.

In two years it will be Carney VS Ford that will be the real battle for Canada.
Watch how quickly MSM name Ford the heir apparent.
