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.

Polls currently indicate that about 35 percent of Albertans favour the outright independence of their province, and that approximately an equal number are undecided. This makes the current running on this issue, which has received almost no publicity around the country but which could define the future of the country, about a dead heat. (A clear majority of Premier Smith’s governing United Conservatives appear to be independentists.)
Canadians from other provinces should recall that Alberta, over the years, has paid approximately $70 billion in equalization payments, chiefly for the benefit of Quebec.

I finally got around to sending an email to Danielle and Nicolaides:
Dear Premier Smith and Minister Nicolaides,
I will keep this brief. I fully support you both during this trying time with the unions and their bedfellows the NDP. You are doing the right things the right way. Stay the course! Do not capitulate or cower (though that is never your modus operandi anyway).
I only ask the following:
1. The teachers are allowed the choice to join the union or not.
2. The union can no longer be an arm of the NDP and use dues for political lobbying.
3. The parents have choice in where they send their children for education.
4. The citizens of Alberta have a choice where they send their tax dollars - private, public, charter, homeschool.
Keep up the great work and may God keep and protect you. (I hope you receive this email and many many more like it).
God bless,
Sxxxxx Lxxxxxx (SMRavens)
