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.

I haven’t commented too much on this Liberal…judge’s ruling because I cannot reconcile my anger over this bullshit. I am not sure when the useless freeloading population gained SO much power as to think for a second a) They deserved to be consulted on ANYTHING b) Where they get off thinking they are entitled to more of a voice than the hard working, tax paying Albertans and certainly when they don’t even consider themselves part of this province or the country who supplies their welfare and c) Have the absolute audacity to sue the benefactors over the industry that has provided their useless existence until now.
I don’t give a fat rats ass WHAT color, race, religion STUPID costume they wear these assholes are just USELESS human beings doing what the useless do. I say if you don’t pay you have NO say and that can be cash or sweat equity but when all you do is consume resources and contribute nothing? No one should be even giving them the time of day.
As far as the 12 ...
