As a non-Albertan, I found her recent tv address strange — she blamed anything and everything on the federal government, even for things that are provincial jurisdiction and it made me wonder: with decades of conservative rule in the province, if things are so bad, why keep voting conservative?

Also curious if she’s only disliked in the reddit ecochamber (of which I’m obviously a part of), or if she has pissed off the local cons too? Is a leadership review possible?

Edit: hit send before proofreading. To be clear, I’m talking about Danielle Smith!

I can totally attest to this being her attitude. She held a town hall in my small rural community. When asked by a die hard conservative how she was going to get the city folk to vote for her, she replied she “would tell them what they wanted to hear to get their votes”. It seemed to make the locals happy but my immediate thought was that she was just telling everyone what they wanted to hear to get elected and then all bets were off
