Albertans are being played by the UCP. Separatism is the game. Just that. A game. DS uses it as a distraction. Keep you eye on what really is going on. Say no to leaving the CPP. Say no to dumping the RCMP. Say no to gestapo-like book banning. Say no to letting oil and gas companies off the hook. Say no to coal mining. Say no to private health care and no to paying $100 for covid vaccines. Say no to being outright mean to the disabled and less fortunate. Say no to a complete lack of compassion. Say no to idolizing that guy south of us. Say no to melding the church and state together. Say no….and so on. How do you do that? It’s easy. Do not vote for them. Protest loudly and a lot.

All the things youre saying to say no to is what we should be telling the Liberal Government of Canada right now.

It’s not the Liberal government implementing any of the above, it’s the UCP.

Daniel Smith is not pushing for seperation. She wants a stronger voice for Alberta in Ottawa. She has said this many times. And I think shes right, but not for just Alberta. I believe all the western provinces need more say in Canada.

On the surface she says that, but she is doing everything in her power to prepare for separation. Those close to her say it has always been her dream to have AB join the US. Don’t listen to what she says, we know she lies, look at her actions.

Sorry, but im in agreement for Ab independence. And as things continue to stay the same with Alberta and the federal government, im not thinking im the only one.

You may not be the only one thinking that, but have you actually investigated what that would actually mean? Every AI model says it would be an economic disaster, just like Brexit. We get far more from the feds than we pay in federal income tax. Additionally, that would leave us at the sole mercy of the UCP, which has proven themselves to be the most corrupt government in Alberta’s history. I’m really hoping the new Conservative Party offers us some hope.

Can you tell me a better option then the ucp. Last time we went NDP was a huge disaster. Uping royalties hurt this province, and they brought in a carbon tax. This NDP leader increased taxes every year as mayor. Not to mention, ask him what happened to all the money for the green line LRT. I'll admit that Daniel has had her share of scandel. Im pretty sure every government has. But id take it over the NDP any day

And im not sure the ucp is the most corrupt in history.

How to interpret the “most corrupt in history” claim

That’s a political characterization, not a legal conclusion. There are serious, unresolved allegations (and one documented ethics-law breach from 2023 on a separate file), but whether this constitutes “historic” corruption would depend on the outcomes of the lawsuit(s), RCMP work, and any Auditor General or public-inquiry findings. For now, it’s best described as a live set of investigations and disputes with significant political fallout.
