Tim Powers reacts to Danielle Smith calling Alberta judge's decision 'antidemocratic': "Let's not forget the obvious fact we all learned in our civics classes: there's nothing undemocratic about the judiciary — they exist in our system to provide a check and a balance in circumstances like this."

Jordan Leichnitz reacts to Danielle Smith calling Alberta judge's decision 'undemocratic': "She may not like it, she may wish to appeal it, and that's well within her government's rights, but it's not undemocratic. And her choice there is to run down the very system itself."

Thomas Lukaszuk on Danielle Smith calling Alberta judge's decision 'undemocratic': "Courts rule on what is right and what is wrong and what is lawful and what is illegal. They don't render popular decisions. They render righteous decisions. But the Premier doesn't seem to be concerned about that."

No one is above the law. Today, Danielle Smith needs to address the people of Alberta and commit to a full, independent investigation into her interference in our justice system.

We have homes to build, teachers to pay and a healthcare system in crisis in Alberta, meanwhile Danielle Smith is more focused on conspiracies. Let's get serious and get to work Premier.

“The fact that Danielle Smith opened the door, it’s a dangerous door! Majority of people in Alberta do not want this! Trump has been focussed on this. Treasury secretary says they want 🇨🇦 to break up! She has done serious damage to our country!” OShow

Alberta separatism poses a real threat to our nation. Danielle Smith is entirely responsible for allowing the separatist rhetoric to continue. It’s also a distraction from the real issues facing Alberta right now, like the health care crisis in our hospitals and emergency rooms. We’ve already seen in Quebec and the UK the immense economic damage separatism referenda leave in their wake. Don’t forget, this Premier and her UCP government changed the rules on citizen initiatives to allow this petition to move forward. They lowered the threshold for signatures, they took away powers from Elections Alberta and the Chief Electoral Officer and gave them to the Minister of Justice. They conveniently raised the application fee only after this separatist petition was approved by the Minister himself. This isn’t leadership for Alberta or for Canada. We can do better for all of us.

Breaking… Alberta Premier Danielle Smith: “We are not phasing out any part of our oil and industry. In fact, we’re going to unapologetically double our oil and gas production” because “Alberta is an energy superpower.” Smith promised new pipelines, oil and gas facilities, petrochemical plants, hydrogen plants and more.

EDMONTON: Gasoline refined in Alberta provided to our pumps is sitting at $1.82/Litre Danielle Smith needs to grow a set and do her job and setup an exemption for our Citizens so we only pay a maximum of $1.00/Litre like all the other OPEC partners. This is irresponsible on part of the UCP right now.

I need Danielle or someone from her team to explain this to me because this isn't making sense. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith: "Let's have an aggressive target to double our population." Smith wants to get Alberta's population to 10m people so we can be taken seriously by the federal government. Huh?! We barely have the infrastructure to sustain current population. Our water infrastructure in Calgary is falling apart. Alberta is already the province of choice for people to move to and it's creating mass unaffordability in the rental market and housing. Alberta is already full of LMIA scams and leading the country in unemployment. Why do we need to destroy our province and make the mistakes other provinces made to peacock for the federal government?

Danielle Smith goes completely limp on the Alberta referendum, saying it's legally impossible for Alberta to have a referendum. Despite all the work put in to collect the needed signatures. From the BC Conservative leadership race to Alberta independence, our democracy is under extreme attack in Western Canada. We are being told our rights do not matter. Our voice does not deserve to be heard. Our votes simply do not matter and should only count if the establishment gets the outcome it wants. You can play by all the rules, only to watch the system change the rules at the last minute. Sickening but par for the course in Canada. I don't remember the Quebec referendums in 1980 & 1995 being shut down by the courts.

THIS is how a premier who cares about Canada speaks. Thanks Wab Kinew 👏👏👏 Unlike the traitor in Alberta, Danielle Smith, Wab speaks about a united front in defending our country. #DanielleSmithIsUnfitToLead

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump RIPPED the imported Somalis we have in our country “Somalis have caused us a LOT of trouble, and they cost us a LOT of money!” “What the HELL are we paying Somalia for?!!” “We have ILHAN OMAR who does nothing but complain about our constitution and our country!” “We’re not taking their people anymore! In fact, we’re sending them BACK!” THEY ALL NEED TO GO!

Avi Lewis: "I want Naheed Nenshi to be the next Premier of Alberta. We must get rid of Danielle Smith ... I'm utterly devoted to Naheed's victory, despite the fact that he's not a member of the federal party. We are still New Democrats in spirit, in soul and in fundamental values."

There's a difference between tackling the genuine issue of a broken asylum system, and the demonising of all immigrants. So let's not forget what I told Karan and Jane this morning on LBC: here in Islington, in London, and across the UK, it's our diversity that makes us great.
