Alberta government thread

[MilEME09]

Typical AB in winter, people not showing up due to bad roads, still definitely a fraction of the crowd expected. Items being put to the floor during the policy convention include abortion, limiting vaccinations, limiting sexual education in schools, among other things

According to a few reporters in the room after discussing the MoU with ottawa, Smith recieved loud Boos from the crowd. Likely the majority of whom would rather not work with Ottawa at all

She has a grassroots problem…

She has a grassroots problem…

That's the problem with grassroots. The grass is always greener when you're on the other side of the fence.

From 2022 when she encouraged "grassroots".

Weren't the "recall" and "referendum initiative" legislations meant to give the grassroots a more direct say in governing.

Ironically, it's a self-inflicted wound. She's the one who harnessed the 'Alberta Anger Machine' for her own ends...

I wonder if and how long this upcoming UCP and Separatist divorce will last.

Might low key last a while. That's a pretty enthusiastic cheer

I mean with a new conservative party already in motion, we shall see

Hopefully Ontario has the backbone to follow Alberta's lead.

Danielle Smith vows to fight federal firearm 'seizure' program next week

The Alberta government will introduce a motion this week under provincial sovereignty legislation to defy the federal gun buy-back program, Premier Danielle Smith announced Saturday during a speech at the United Conservative Party’s annual general meeting.

Smith said the motion, if passed by the legislature, will instruct “provincial entities,” including municipalities and law enforcement agencies, "to refuse to enforce or prosecute under the federal gun seizure program."

It would also protect Albertans defending themselves from intruders, she said.

Elections alberta has certified the Forever Canada petition as successful. Its now upto the provincial government to adopt it, or out it to a full referendum.

Just imagine how much money the government would have if they actually enforced rules, and fined companies? Millions of unpaid property taxes etc add up

So the consequences to Danielle Smith for signing a MOU with PM MC....Nothing.

Stop holding your breath thinking this is gonna be the beautiful end of the UCP some of you are begging for.
Especially when she bid Guibeault adieu

 

[RangerRay]

I listened to the CBC At Issue panel about this deal. Everyone except for Andrew Coyne thought that this was PMMC’s biggest blunder yet and the LPC is going to lose Quebec for a generation. Coyne, like me, was ecstatic that Guilbeault is gone. Everyone else thought it was a disaster.
