Went to the town hall last night in Brooks and had the opportunity to spend time with her and I have to say that YES Danielle is still the common sense, pro-Alberta, pro O&G, pro rights person that she was when she was with us in the group, maybe even more so. I am SO GLAD Albertans were smart enough to vote her in as leader and going forward I believe the record she is going to have for positive outcomes for Alberta and our people will be undeniable. There is ALWAYS going to be red tape of some kind that will slow the wheels of progress but I think we will not only get to where we want to be but embolden other provinces to do the same.
There is no doubt she is intelligent, capable and people are inspired by her. Keep letting her know what's on your mind, call the Premier's office if you have question or concerns.

The legacy media has repeated the protesters’ claims almost entirely at face value. They describe temporary residents facing the expiration of their permits as victims who have been unfairly denied the ability to remain in ...
