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.

Nenshi claims we need to go to all out war with USA and to cut off Oil to Ontario
@ABDanielleSmith
Alberta NDP leader, Naheed Nensh, says we need to threaten the U.S. with an export tax on Alberta’s oil and gas to create leverage in trade negotiations with the Americans.
An export tax on Alberta oil to the U.S. would literally put over hundred thousand Albertans out of work almost overnight and decimate our economy across the board - not to mention the probable US retaliation of cutting off Line 5 fuel to Ontario and Quebec.
It would be like punching ourselves in the face.
Unlike the Nenshi NDP, I will protect Albertans’ jobs and livelihoods.
So let me be clear: an export tax on Alberta oil and gas or the halting of supply to the U.S. is not going to happen…period. Full stop. It’s not on the table nor will it be on the table in the future.
I will continue with the diplomatic approach that has resulted in 97% of Alberta exports remaining tariff free, and continue to work with the ...
