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.

Bell: Danielle Smith — the Calgary drug consumption site at the Chumir is closing
'It was an experiment. It didn't work,' says Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, revealing the Calgary drug consumption site will be closed
The site will close Alberta premier Danielle Smith said in an end-of-year interview.
It is as official as it gets. Finally.
No precise date has been set yet but it is coming.
Calgary’s drug consumption site at the inner-city Sheldon Chumir Health Centre is closing.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith broke the good news at the end of our Christmas interview.
In fact, at the end of the interview, the premier mentioned I hadn’t asked about the fate of the drug site at the Chumir.
It was on my list, at the very bottom, to be asked if time allowed.
But after years of stonewalling I was resigned to non-answer answers, more kick the can down the road responses when politicians refused to face up to the ugliness of the drug ...
