Today a caller said they felt that Smith isn't doing enough to defend against separatists and asked if she would do a provincial address. Smith's response? That she's doing everything she possibly can and can't possibly do more. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

I edited 5 books with the word 'gaslight' in the title (reference to the atmospheric lighting of the Victorian period), but this, from Smith, is gaslighting, and it's on a Trumpian sort of scale. Smith has done nothing to address separatism in Alberta over this summer. Nada.

I'm blocked by Smith so I must have missed all of her positive comments about Canada and any negative comments about separation & separatists ! Please re-post 🤣 .

We so need an election.

@Papaschase2 So she can't even be bothered to come in front of a camera and pretend she cares about Canada for ten minutes? Some "federalist"...

@kim_siever If true, wow The best she can do is bad. Like objectively so

So she’s spent her entire term working exclusively for the grievances of the few. That jives. If only she recognized she’s supposed to work for all of us. The vast majority who care about HC, ED, env, fiscal responsibility, municipal gov allowed to gov, etc…

I grew up under a Lougheed government. I had the misguided idea that was who a politician was. Someone who had nothing to gain in the position, had a vision of what we could be, could articulate it, and get people to follow. We've lost so much in Alberta by shitty leadership.

“Everything she possibly can” It’s pretty simple, really. She CAN cancel the referendum. She chooses to pander to the small minority. Just like she CHOSE to ignore the last referendum question on DST. She fires whoever tells her no. She wants this.

What a total indictment of her competence and her character. If this is the "best" our Premier can muster then she must be replaced ASAP before she "sells us all down the river".

It is all lies, she is not team Canada, Dani is a f’ing traitor

Smith needs to go. She has revealed herself as a traitor to Canada.

If we can have a referendum next May we can hold an election. She moved the date from May to October due to the forest fires.

@ShanMcElroy People can’t help but draw parallels between Smith and Trump.

Actually Dani, there is something more you can do... RESIGN! Simple thing to do. You won't be missed...

Everything she can do to ensure that she keeps her job.

She's done all she can, including setting the timing of the referendum if the seppies win in October.

I hope all the listeners were wearing gumboots. That pile is getting higher & higher.

She is useless. Looting Alberta and breaking up Canada on Trump’s behalf.

Smith punted the question away from what the caller asked and then pivoted to the same trademark tricky toxicity. Weakness and whataboutism.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith Has been a huge supporter of the separatist agenda. She has brought more publicity and attention to the term "Alberta seperatist" than Rath ever could.

She’s such liar 🤦‍♀️

I love how she's always so careful of the seppies feelings, meanwhile she never tells them to watch their tone. Tone policing is fun like that.

Which is Fuck all for Canada.

I broke it. Now give me props for fixing what I broke.

So she's only digging herself so far in, at least publicly, so she's not fully invested one way or another, at least publicly.

How does she live with herself?

Giving a real Flanders parents vibe

Is this before or after she bent the knee to a pedo or sent 75 million to Turkey of our money. She’s as crooked as any MAGA senator who was bought off

It’s her bargaining chip to blackmail Ottawa for the oil and gas sector. Education, healthcare and all those other socialist programs are irrelevant.

what a fckin c*nt

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Funny how not once did he call names about the separatists, yet that's where she goes! The gaslighting and deflection again indictating those of us who want to see Alberta flourish in Canada are the bad guy. At least she confirmed she passes legislation for the select few!

She’s doing exactly what she prefers to do… absolutely nothing. #FireTheUCP
