Probably time to call an election 🤭
Lmao the tiny minority of Albertans who want to separate are now making more demands. Almost as if you can't give fringe groups an inch or they'll ask for a mile.
That said, Alberta can do much better than Smith for a Premier.
Jason Kenney was better and he was fucking awful.
25% of a population isn't a "tiny Minority".
Agree with the rest of your comment.
Oh, the number I was thinking of was 7% of the total voting poluace. I think I heard it on a Fifth Estate bit about the Alberta seperarist movement. I didn't realize the referendum "Leave" numbers were that high...
25% is a "tiny minority" when the question voted on was "yes or no" statistically. It would appear even smaller when it was reported that if it had been a binding the "yes" vote to leave would have been closer to 10%. However I see your point and I am just happy that the voters of Alberta didn't go down the asinine path of separatism.
No kidding the separatists want her to step down.
they are already using the MAGA playbook. Voter fraud by immmigrunts taking their jerbs.
Everyone does, the separatist are the only ones that want her to stay cuz the next person in charge isn't necessaraly going to be an American stooge
The separatists should leave Canada. They should go to one of the fucked countries Israel, Russia, North Korea and the worst of all America.
I want them to leave so bad, I just don't want them to be replaced by some other monoculture.
It's the exact opposite. Separatists want her gone as they feel she didn't support them.

Well, she's a typical Conservative idiot. She held a referendumb no one wanted , with barely 43% turnout, and she then alienated the Separtists by her non support, and the non-separatists saying it was all a waste of time.
The real winners are the racists keeping brown people out of Alberta.
Lamo, all she Fuckin talks about is separation, these people really are just a bunch of mental deficients, they're just angry they lost.
She never spoke in favour of separation.
She secretly sat down with american fascists, is that not enough?
Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario all regularly speak to their American counterparts. Is it only wrong if you don't like the admininstration?
Did they meet to overthrow Canada? Did they meet with the likes of Shark tank billionaire boy wonder? Are they trying to hide the fact that they went to mara lago to meet secretly with fascists? Did they make a "deal" to give away strategic resources to a foreign government? I think not. Try again.
They did not speak with an American funded Think tank focused on succession like she did. This is just a bad faith argument. Even my concervative father finds it laughable that the alberten cons are turning on her for "not supporting sepratists" when quote "thats all she ever talk about"
No, you are right. She's very clever at playing both sides. Her actions betrayed her though.
It's UCP, yes they will.
So do the rest of us!
Somehow I don't think you are a member of the UCP.
They never claimed to be.
Then he has no say over who is the leader of the UCP.
They also never claimed that though. Just expressed that they also want Smith to step down. I also want that.
You will (maybe) get your chance next election.
