I really encourage folks to consider the comments Ranjit Bath, Tina Lynn, Chris Scott and Daryl Burroughs have written in this thread. These folks understand the context of Premier Smith’s aspirations for growth in Alberta’s population.
Some folks have mentioned “10” or “15 minute cities” in here. For all its criticism, Bill 20 is a direct response by the Premier Smith government to restrict left-leaning municipal government’s like Edmonton and Calgary currently have from taking this route. And Premier Smith pushed for this because she heard clearly that Albertans do not want 10 or 15-minute-cities.
Marco… I’m sure you remember Premier Smith saying at her Town Hall in Calgary a couple of weeks ago to Calgary - Lougheed constituency association President Darrell Komick that her goals of increased population are not AT ALL “short term”, but a long term strategy to ensure Alberta has the voice within our nation to match or exceed Quebec. She also talked about immigration being supported by initiatives like the Temporary Foreign Workers program that ensures a job and a place in our economy. That population growth is measured and sustainable. Why don’t you mention that in your sharing of “sound bites”?
If you are going to grab “a little” of what the Premier says for the purpose of getting folks riled up, I think that’s quite irresponsible.
Please, fellow conservatives, go to these Town Halls and engage with our Premier. I don’t believe we have had a leader in our province in my lifetime who listens and cares more what their fellow citizens think than Premier Smith.
If you think she’s not listening, I am happy to debate you.
I learned many years ago that being heard and getting your way are two different things. Albertans are being heard. I believe you’ll see that very clearly in the legal changes forthcoming in the Alberta Bill of Rights.
Premier Smith is very much about CHOICE.

Six years ago, the entire nation, near the entire world - was put under lockdown. Not for an influenza-like illness, but for something far more dangerous.
We lived through a pandemic, yes - but not of a virus. This was a pandemic of media manipulation, government propaganda, corporate corruption and psychological warfare on humanity. And now, six years on, we have to ask…what have we actually learned?
We’ve learned that they hold total control. That they can rewrite the rules of society overnight, based on “emergency powers” that were never legally binding, yet still somehow dictated every aspect of our lives. This wasn’t about public health…this was a global obedience test. A live experiment to see how quickly they could get people to comply, how easily neighbours could be turned against each other and how rapidly fear could be weaponized into control.
We saw friends reporting each other for breaking rules that changed by the week. We watched as “key workers” were exalted, while ...

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise:
