Danielle had a town hall meeting in Medicine Hat and Brooks yesterday. I wasn’t in Medicine Hat but the pictures I saw showed it was half empty but I did attend in Brooks and it was mostly empty with chairs being filled by CA board members and their friends. Not sure if it was lack of advertising or what but I was a little embarrassed, we might just as well have had a board meeting.
Couple of things during the questions I noticed. One person asked about the pipelines and DS was “still encouraged” about the MOU but trailed off saying “if we can get Eby onboard”. THAT ain’t happening anymore than getting Quebec on board so basically just spinning her wheels an placating Albertans with false hope. The second question that stood out was “can we get equalization changed so the separatists are happy and stop this nonsense leaving Canada”. DS answered in a round about fashion stating that other provinces has to agree and once Quebec gets a new leader in the current governing party or the PQ gets in then ‘hopefully’ they will be more open to changes so we can get a pittance returned to us whilst still supporting a very capable Quebec give freebies to Quebecers.
Quebec has veto power over any agreements on equalization and representation. Not sure what government would voluntarily end their control to be fair…she is hoping they will see our plight and be fair to the West. So the answer is NO there will be no change in equalization or representation and she really needs to be more honest and forthright about this. She is tap dancing on very thin ice here.

Here is my thinking on what seems to be the immediate future of Alberta political landscape.
1) Mitch drives Danielle out and takes over the UCP party.
OR
2) Danielle stays in but disenfranchises the true Sovereigntists and the party either loses or barely wins in the next election, effectively neutering the UCP from doing anything.
If Mitch gets in, I feel like he would likely start off pushing thru some changes we all might like… AT FIRST. Like give the Bill of Rights some bite, move to Alberta Pension, move to Alberta tax collection, Alberta policing. Perhaps put a stop to equalization. What worries me about Mitch is how brash he might get if he gets a little power and that he will go rogue and start dictating and pushing thru changes we might NOT want in the long run - running roughshod over Albertans. I feel he might do what he wants come hell or high water. That he would become entitled. I feel like we might agree with some of the changes but the end does not justify the means...
