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.

Tanya Clemens: “This is me, without a $4-million taxpayer-funded advertising campaign.
This is me using my own words, my own volunteered time, and my own voice to communicate with fellow Albertans and make the case for Alberta independence.
This is me advocating for Option 2 while following the legal and ethical requirements for referendum third-party advertisers. We register, report, disclose contributions, account for expenses, and operate within established spending limits.
The money donated to Let Alberta Decide was voluntarily given by people who wanted to support this work and this argument.
What we don’t have is the ability to reach into the Alberta treasury and use millions of dollars contributed by every taxpayer to promote the outcome we want.
And I wouldn’t want that ability.
If I’m going to advocate for an independent Alberta, I should have to make the case for it, answer the difficult questions, defend my arguments, and persuade Albertans on the merits.
I don’t believe Albertans owe me...
This could not be said ANY better…..please share & wake up some foolish in Canada….
This whole Lake Ontario issue only identifies and illustrates how incredibly uninformed some people are, and how so many lack critical thinking skills.
What people don't understand is that Donald Trump does this on purpose, just to expose the idiocy and hypocrisy. And those of you reacting are only proving his point.
