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.

McTEAGUE: From backroom deal to boondoggle: This is no way to build a pipeline
The devil’s in the details — why this pipeline deal is a Trojan Horse for Canadian consumers.
Dan McTeague is President of Canadians for Affordable Energy.
As I said in the lead-up to the announcement of this recent Carney-Smith pipeline deal, “the devil is in the details.” And now that I’ve had some time to digest the details in Thursday’s Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), I will say, the details are positively demonic.
Now, that doesn’t change the fact that I am very much in favor of building out our pipeline infrastructure. Oil and gas are the backbone of the Canadian economy, and they need to get to market.
And pipelines that get those products to tidewater to be shipped abroad, like this one, play a particular role in combatting the “petro-loonie discount,” the 20% to 40% discount our oil trades at, because the US is among our only customers. That creates real downward pressure on the Canadian dollar.
We desperately need to push...
FDA now says they will provide tougher metrics for approval of mRNA vaccines after they admit the shots caused 10 children's deaths. Let's hope they pull the approval of Moderna mNEXSPIKE.
