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.

“The geopolitical stakes could not be higher for the U.S. No longer fully protected by two vast oceans and all-but impenetrable expanses of Arctic ice and tundra, the world’s threats are lapping at its shores and encroaching upon its land borders.”
“ It is also worth noting that Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, whose idea for a Canadian “border czar” became the basis for the recent creation of a Canadian “fentanyl czar”, recently suggested that Canada and the U.S. jointly build a large NORAD operating base in the Arctic. So far, just one small Canadian base of this sort is actually under construction.
Whatever one might think of Donald Trump the man – and it seems millions of Canadians have chosen to hate him – people need to set aside their emotions sufficiently to at least recognize that Trump the President is dead-serious in his foreign policy goals, including or...
