He saw that one Alberta poll, and has also decided to run again in Alberta.

"I was in the wrong, and I appreciate that being clarified. I'm sorry."

"Posed" is fair. Imo, there is a large inertia of the median small-c conservative voter in Alberta that is tough to change, even when the so-called conservatism becomes more radical.

(I think we're agreeing in principle, anyways)

If you're in line for your tariff refund checks, stay in line.

A point that I think needs to be beaten into (our) thick Alberta skulls:

"Once you understand how equalization actually works, it unmasks the core of Smith’s complaints about it: “Alberta’s taxpayers” pay more into federal coffers than they receive solely as a function of having higher incomes."

I'm not going to apologize for the (many) Albertans who knew and approve of what the UCP really stood for, and would willingly vote for them again, but I do think that there are many who are coming to realize that the UCP are a far-right wolf in moderate conservative sheep's clothing.

NOWHERE in any of the UCP's previous election platform is there any of the policies that they actually implemented, from the anti-trans laws, book bans, pause on renewables, use of notwithstanding clause, Alberta police/border patrol, or a anti-immigration policy.

You can search it for yourself

A re-elected UCP government will introduce: The Alberta is Calling signing bonus. o A $1,200 payment for targeted skilled trades and professions where we have labour shortages - including in healthcare, childcare, and trades. Workers will be eligible after living here for a year.

They got 53% of the vote, but govern for the furthest right portion of their base. I know other people have brought up the "Alberta Calling" previous policy to attract people to Alberta, but here is another example from their actual election platform, promising . $1200 for new workers!

One of the things about D.Smith (and Alberta) that I'd really like people to understand is that the UCP campaigned for the last election as moderates, almost like the old Progressive Conservative party.

Ok, because of Danielle Smith, seeing some anti-Albertan posts in the wild. Friendly reminder that she received about 53% of the popular vote in an election with 60% voter turnout.

REFERENDUM (GENERAL) REGULATION

I'm a hoot at parties.

With respect to the proposed Alberta referendums, the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta could do the funniest thing (constitutional crisis).

Can we talk about some of the oil-related stuff in the Premier's address? I'll get into the immigration piece in a column tomorrow, but some of the assumptions around oil production and exports she was using were....bananas?

"AB approved", immigration status is federal responsibility.

If you don't live in Alberta, let me explain Alberta politics to you.

Thank you for listening.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announces fall referendum on immigration, constitutional questions | CBC News Premier Danielle Smith wants to hold a referendum in October on measures to limit immigration to Alberta and changes she believes would give the province more rights under the Constitution.

This is Danielle Smith pushing for separation without actually saying it. Most people don't pay attention to politics so she wants them to answer complex referendum questions based on vibes when they vote and she's ensuring those vibes are as negative as posdible.
