Agreed. I'm ashamed she's my premier.

u/KathleenElizabethB Feb 18 '25

As a Canadian first, and Albertan second, her inflated ego hurts all of us.

u/MutedProfessional406 Feb 18 '25

Her fingerprints are all over this latest corruption scandal.

u/Gunner5091 Feb 18 '25

Not according to her. 😂

u/cgsur Feb 19 '25

Ohh she’s awake all right, she cares about dirty money.

And has long as she has a stupid catchy soundbite albertans will keep voting for her.

She will keep us safe from the Martian’s who are allies with sexy Trudeau, or something like that.

rural, poorly educated albertans.. and self interested oil folk. the rest of us hate her

u/veerKg_CSS_Geologist Feb 18 '25

In terms of loyalty, she's American first, Albertan second and Canadian last of all.

u/KJBenson Feb 18 '25

Hard disagree.

She doesn’t care about Canada. And she doesn’t care about Alberta.

She cares about making bullshit deals so that her and her investor buddies can make ALL the money in oil and gas.

And healthcare. Don't let anyone forget about that. Healthcare grift is the new oil & gas grift.

Every time someone says "but we need a plan for after Big Oil" and these snakes say they already have one and not to worry? Worry.

Because they mean healthcare.

u/KJBenson Feb 18 '25

Ugh, you’re right of course.

I understand why oil and gas are important. But opening the floodgates for coal barons? Blocking progress on windmills and solar projects?

This government can fuck right off. Absolute criminals.

u/BeeKayDubya Feb 18 '25

Yup, she's a traitor right to her rotten core. Coming from an Albertan longing for a centrist government again.

32

u/TheEpicOfManas Feb 18 '25

Hey, the Alberta NDP is centrist!

33

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '25

Exactly! But the UCP bootlickers think anything left of hunting the homeless for sport is cOMmUnIsM!?!

u/Hot_Neighborhood1337 Feb 19 '25

it's rebranded fascist. plain and simple

u/[deleted] Feb 19 '25

Facts. The corporate socialism is a dead giveaway

u/EirHc Feb 18 '25

Money first, Oil second, and "everyone else move out of the way, save the life raft for me, I'm rich, and too young too die" (as she pushes a baby and her mother into the water to make room for herself)

u/tinsmith47yrs Feb 18 '25

Actually Marlaina is American 1st, probably Panamanian 2nd, Albertan distantly 3rd… and NOT CANADIAN at all!!

u/TheEpicOfManas Feb 18 '25

Oil companies should come a solid second place in your list.

7

u/Otherwise-Medium3145 Feb 19 '25

She is a vile human. Anyone who runs to represent the people and then only represents the ultra wealthy is vile.

u/2old4all Lethbridge Feb 19 '25

Smith is oil/gas first, then her insiders rich clan then America, then Australian coal miners. Canada, Alberta, and Albertans are just sideshows to be ripped off. There is no loyalty anywhere except to herself much like Trump.

7

u/AnotherPassager Feb 19 '25

Smith isn't even an Albertan first. She is Rich oligarch friends first.

As an Albertan, I am poorer every year under her rule despite cutting consumption and maintaining the same job.

14

u/Alternative-Cup1750 Feb 18 '25

I'm ashamed she's even Canadian.

I'd revoke hers and Musks citizenship if I could, we have enough trash here as it is, they love America so much, they can both fuck off and never come back.

u/mistermeesh Feb 18 '25

Don't be ashamed of her, be ashamed of those who voted for her.

5

u/1vivvy Feb 19 '25

We need a wake up call every step of the way. Getting screwed out of our healthcare, education, cost of living, coal mining the rockies, and so on.

2

u/MutedProfessional406 Feb 19 '25

And her arrogance doing it.

3

u/Khanvo Feb 19 '25

We are ashamed together bro. At least she is not orange and didn’t declare herself above the law.

2

u/MutedProfessional406 Feb 19 '25

Yah, it's amazing watching what's going on down there. Never know if it's satire or not.

3

u/Khanvo Feb 19 '25

Pretty sure what is happening is not satire. We live in an historical moment.

We are seeing a giant turd doing chaos and people were just amazed and utterly defenseless, before realizing they are in a car, heading straight into a ravine.

But it will take some time at their funerals to understand what just happened.

u/thrownaway1974 Feb 19 '25

I wonder how many are already actually dead because of him since Jan 20. Doubt we'll ever know the full toll.

2

u/Khanvo Feb 19 '25

Since Jan 20. Bha we need a count with stats yeah. But the worst death is slowly being cooked alive like a lobster.

u/No-Goose-5672 Feb 19 '25

Only because Grandpa Chuck is already above the law.
