Danielle Smith is Mark Carney's secret weapon
Danielle Smith is Mark Carney's secret weapon
In a recent interview with far-right U.S. media site Breitbart, Danielle Smith handed Carney a gift-wrapped sledgehammer in the form of an admission that Pierre Poilievre would be "in sync" with Trump.
She’s a filthy disgrace to this great nation. She should not have any role in taking charge and leading citizens.
Throw her out. Traitor.
And yet Albertans remain fine with her election interference and helping foreign govts take over Canada.
They do not. Please quit with the stereotyping of all of Alberta as being some kind of "Texas North." Last election was a near 50/50 split between Conservative and NDP, and we've had an NDP government in the recent past. Would not be at all surprised if we have an NDP government next election, most Albertans are not fine with foreign governments taking over Canada.
They encourage it in fact.
They do not, and this is an offensive stereotype. Half of Albertans didn't even vote for her, and I'm sure a substantial portion of those who did are not "fine" with her helping foreign governments take over Canada.
According to a recent poll 12% of Albertans would "definitely consider" joining the US. Sounds bad, yeah? But Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario come right behind at 11%. Should we also say "Ontarians are fine with helping foreign governments take over Canada"?
The worst people on the planet are saving a nation by unambiguously showing Canadians what to reject. It's too early for me to feel relief, but the way things stand at the moment, national politics are mirroring my province's recent outcome in a way that I hadn't even dared to hope.
Carney himself has said he wants to run a clean campaign and not do attack ads, I know how often politicians renege on that, but i hope Carney sticks to it, i think it will ruin the unifying atmosphere that has him polling so well. Let her crazy speak for itself.
I also hate attack ads, but... Is it really an attack ad if you simply play the recording of what someone else said without editing it to make it worse (because it's already sufficient bad in its whole, truthful self)?
As much as I want to sea traitors like her burn, I do agree on the principal of a clean election. People have been turning against PP precisely because he openly and only fights dirty, purely talking about how bad everybody else is without putting up a single point of good he will do the country if elected.
We need positive forward-facing politicians in power, with anybody more interested in pulling others down be put into the dirt. Winning the election with a purely positive platform without attacking anybody is the best election we can have, even if it doesn't actually change the system in the short term.
Hated Attack ads, attack ads are only create bigger division. as if it is not divided enough now. however its gonna be tricky when the opposite side are playing dirty.
The funny thing here is that the Liberals winning depends on Trump staying front and centre in the public eye.
Which means that either way, Canadians win.
Maybe. I am worried that If trump backs off enough for the conservatives to slip in, he'll come back even harder with a leader that will hand him Canada.
Can you imagine Trump “backing off?” His idea of backing off was to say that he’d be happier to work with the Liberals than the Conservatives.
God if I had the funds to head up to the legislature I would be protesting this shit endlessly.
My MLA is with the NDP, so clearly against this, but I should probably find the nearest UCP office and put up signage or whatnot.
Same boat here. Don’t have the time or money to go to Edmonton to protest and my MLA is NDP, so there’s no point voicing concerns there. Probably going to start sending letters to other UCP MLAs.
You can protest Marlaina's AHS procurement fraud while you're there!
Yeah, we thought that she would be Rachael Notley's secret weapon too.
Rachel Notley needs an awful lot of secret weapons to make up for being Rachel Notley. It'd be nice if the Alberta NDP had an actually exciting leader.
I take it you don't like Nenshi.
Personally I think he's great and would make an awesome premier of Alberta.
We can't make the mistake of continuing to give them enough rope to hang themselves, then doing nothing once the noose is firmly affixed.
