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.

Hubby and I are starting the process of preparing our acreage in case we want to sell it and move. We both agree we will hold our noses and vote UCP because the other option is worse but we will never support Danielle again. We will invest no time or money in UCP with Danielle and the good ole boys at the helm. Once she is elected, we will support a change of leadership. She has done lots of little things but none of the big things. The Bill of Rights means nothing. She has not pursued any of the policies of her campaign nor most of the policies put forth by the members at the AGM. We are furious with ourselves for trusting her twice. The worst kind of dupe. We knew she crossed the floor inviting the NDP in once but this feels an awful lot like another floor crossing. I don’t trust her anymore.
I was doing ok with it, still frustrated but then she had to say that separatist are not welcome in OUR party.
As I said, I will vote UCP but it’s not going to get my time, money or...
Copy and paste post from Jordon Kosik (the original Admin from the Holding MLA’s Accountable Facebook Page):
“I NEVER THOUGHT I’D SAY THIS, BUT SOMETIMES I THINK COVID WAS EASIER THAN THIS POLITICAL CIRCUS.
At least back then, we knew what we were fighting for.
There’s a reason I’ve largely stayed out of the Alberta independence movement. And it’s not because I don’t believe in Alberta or its future. It’s because I’m exhausted watching conservatives fight conservatives, watching the constant division, the accusations, the vote-splitting arguments, and the never-ending political games.
It’s the same circus, different clowns.
Let me take you back a few years.
When I first got involved in activism during COVID, before the vaccine mandates, my goal was actually pretty simple: GET PEOPLE ENGAGED WITH THEIR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES.
You’d be surprised how many people didn’t know what an MLA was, what an MP was, or who actually represented them.
People were sitting in Facebook groups, arguing with one another, preaching to the same echo chambers, while the politicians responsible for making decisions ...
