Danielle Smith "We have no issue with Alberta continuing to subsidize smaller provinces with their needs, but there is no excuse for such large and powerful economies like Ontario, Quebec, B.C." "...To be clear from the outset, our government will not be putting a vote on separation from Canada... on the referendum ballot." "...I know how frustrated so many of you have become with our country and the feeling of having politicians living thousands of miles away passing laws and rules that have cost you your loved ones jobs, careers, dreams and opportunities for a brighter future." "As most Albertans know, I have repeatedly stated I do not support Alberta separating from Canada." "I personally still have hope that there is a path forward for a strong and sovereign Alberta within a united Canada." Danielle Smithshow more

Premier Smith is right & on firm ground. All Ottawa has to do is know its role & stay in its lane. We'll soon find out what the Canadian Constitution means to Prime Minister Mark Carney. 🇨🇦

Excellent address on the situation - and just the right tone for Albertans, and Carney/Ottawa.

Exactly what she said. I’m from BC, but for the last 11 yrs, I am an Albertan and forever will be. I will always be Canadian, but living here, makes you appreciate it takes hard work and living through hard winters.

Alberta signed on to the current formula when Harper was PM. And it specifically takes account of economic strength, as it was designed to. Vichy Danni is ... not the smartest knife in the drawer.

@HaveWeAllGoneM1 6 months Danielle …6 months was the deadline YOU gave for Carney or Whoever it was that became prime minister to meet Alberta’s list of needs…if Carney believes taking the summer off will achieve this goal that is on him ..He doesn’t Get a minute more !

I stand with Premier Danielle Smith in defending Alberta’s interests, and in the October referendum I will be voting for Alberta to remain a proud province of Canada. Alberta deserves a strong voice, fair treatment, and leaders willing to fight for the province. It is possible to support Alberta and advocate for respect from Ottawa, while still believing in a united country. #Alberta #Canada #UnitedCanada #ProudlyAlbertan #ProudlyCanadian #AbPoli #CdnPoli

🇨🇦🍁 LOL! Alberta will hold a referendum to exit from Canada: "Should Alberta remain a province of Canada, or should the government of Alberta commence the legal process required under the Canadian Constitution to hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada?" — Premier of Alberta, Danielle Smith on the referendum in October, 19 "It's time to have a vote, understand the will of Albertans on this subject, and move on." — adds *Alberta is an oil-rich province, so they want to sell oil to the US directly, without Canada. What will be the Ottawa's response?

"I'm letting you know, I speak for the party, and what our party has said is that we support autonomy and sovreignty for Alberta in a united Canada." Chatting with Shaye Ganam, Premier Danielle Smith pushes back against UCP president Rob Smith's claim that the party will not have an opinion on sovereignty due to many members being in favour of it. Smith says she speaks for the party, and the party thus supports staying in Canada.

As the referendum lead, my message is clear. The status quo needs to change. For the past 10 years this federal Liberal government has introduced policies that have slowed down Alberta’s economy, prevented pipeline projects and undermined our province. I believe in a strong Alberta within a united Canada. In the coming months, with my new role as referendum lead, I will listen to the concerns of Albertans and ensure that we can address the root causes of western alienation and fight for a stronger Alberta within a united Canada. I am proud to be an Albertan and a Canadian. I will continue to call on Mark Carney’s Liberal Government to listen to Albertans and to take the necessary steps to unite our country and strengthen our province. It’s time to act.

WATCH: Alberta Premier Danielle Smith asked about those who will oppose a new pipeline to Canada's West coast: "This is a Canada project, and this is a test of whether Canada works as a country. Because if we can't build with a collaboration of the federal government and between provinces - if it's everybody gets to get their products going to market except Alberta - that's not a country. A country is one where we support each other. And I think Canadians are there, and I hope that we can get more and more politicians to get there, too.”

🌹🗳️👋🇨🇦 : Danielle Smith will hold a referendum asking if Alberta should have a referendum on independence. I warned Alberta separatists repeatedly the government would drag this referendum out for years. Meanwhile Mark Carney will grant citizenship to hundreds of thousands of new arrivals, who will vote to remain in Canada so they can bring their extended family over. The government will never let you leave Canada because you pay the bills.

One of my jobs as Premier is to prove Alberta can be strong and prosperous within Canada. We’ve spent months negotiating with the federal government and have come to an agreement that includes the cancellation of the oil and gas production cap, and the net-zero power regs in Alberta. My hope is that as we work to implement this agreement, and advance a new million barrel per day oil pipeline to Asian markets, Albertans will see a bright future as a strong and sovereign province within a united Canada.

I just got back from Mar-a-Lago, where Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and I sat down with Donald Trump. We tackled tariffs, pipelines, and why a strong Canada-U.S. partnership matters now more than ever. I told Trump straight: the Trudeau policies have been a disaster, but Canada isn't done. Alberta has massive potential, and Danielle is leading the charge to bring capital back.

Alberta is the last stand for Canada. I’m not Albertan so personally, I would rather they stay in Canada because I understand the detrimental effects that this will have on the country. That being said, it might need to be done. Not just for Alberta - but for Canada. We might have to disassemble this whole thing so we can build something new. Nothing is working here. Our constitution, our judicial system, our parliamentary system….it’s time for a change. Maybe Alberta leaving is exactly what Canada needs to wake up.

I know the last decade under the Trudeau-NDP was difficult and Albertans have every right to be frustrated. But thanks to the leadership of Albertans, the tide is finally turning in our favour. The vast majority of Trudeau’s ‘9 bad laws’ have been scrapped or reformed. Investment has begun flowing back into energy, tech, and agriculture, and we are creating more jobs than the rest of the country combined. Now is not the time to give up hope. Now is the time to double down and help Canada reach its incredible potential. With Alberta leading the way, we can turn Canada into one of the most strong and prosperous economies in the world. On October 19, I will be voting for Alberta to remain in Canada. I hope you will join me in doing so.

Howard Anglin "While the separatists don't have answers to most of the key questions about separation, I think there are a lot of people in central Canada and Ottawa that need to step up and give some answers to the questions Alberta has been asking." "The attitude from some in central Canada, the barely concealed contempt and sometimes the open open contempt for the Alberta economy and the way of life in Alberta is something that wouldn't be tolerated with any other province." "At the end of the day, the vast majority of Albertans love Alberta and they love Canada. I'm not sure a lot of people in Ottawa can say the same thing." Howard Anglin

James Moore calls it like it is "Albertans on a per capita basis have given more to confederation than any group of Canadians in this country by far." "And they've done it for a couple, two, three generations." "And they have a federal government right now whose time is ticking that has actively campaigned against their province, against their core industry, that is 1/3 of Canada's exports to the United States." "They've blocked pipelines." "They've put in place regulations that are designed to be poison pills to stop the export of Alberta oil to global markets so they can get world prices so that we can bring that money back to Canada and create Canadian jobs and pay Canadian taxes to build Canadian hospitals, schools and Canadian roads." "Albertans want to do their part for Canada, and they have for a long time." "Canada should do its part for Alberta and the west as well."💥 James Moore Danielle Smith

After today’s announcement from unified premiers across our country, it’s clear that we need a provincial government that will stand up for Canada and stand up for our sovereignty and our economy. We have to take a Team Canada approach that looks out for the best interest of every Albertan. We need a solid and unified negotiating strategy. We need a plan for Alberta for every contingency. It’s time for us to fight for Canada! Danielle Smith, are you listening?
