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.

Cochrane trying his best to stir the separatist pot but Danielle isn’t having it.
It’s such a lesson in futility talking with this guy. She is looking out for the interests of Albertan’s. Danielle rightly says you can’t just ignore them.
I heard Jason Kenney was going to be on CBC last night speaking about Alberta independence so I tuned in for as long as I could stomach David Cochrane. The unbelievable hubris and lack of humility on display by Jason Kenney was something to behold. He characterized the Albert independence movement as a group of people who have been lied to, are misinformed and are self-serving in their desire to “break up Canada”.
He spoke about Jeff Rath, the lawyer who took the government to court over the illegal Covid restrictions and uneven persecution of businesses, as being the person who mobilized members of the UCP to vote Jason Kenney out as leader of the UCP and who was now looking for another cause to “rant about.” He also said that if the independence minded people wanted to be serious, they should form a political party and throw their hat in the ring.
Jason Kenney should read some history of the foundations underlying democracy. His message totally contradicts the premise that it is the ...
