I give him credit for taking a stand on it, but in the end Poilievre made the only statement he ever could make about the APP, and in doing so he revealed what a terrible strategy pushing this agenda really is. It is so unpopular that even the UCP’s closest allies federally and in other provinces can’t and won’t support it. In trying to “stick it to the feds”, Smith has succeeded in isolating the Alberta government and the Alberta conservatives on the wrong side of an issue that everyone in Canada (including in Alberta) disagrees with her about.
This is basically political malpractice. Even if the real agenda is something different from the APP, Smith has gained no leverage with anyone and has made herself look weak and out of touch. She’s not even playing checkers here—it’s basically Ludo and she’s missing half the pieces.

Maybe when the Cons are in power Federally we will worry about what they say. Until then it’s full sped ahead with the liberals in this game of uncomfortable chicken. Smith hardly looks weak when the Prime minister goes out of his way to cry about it.
I get it it’s too much heat for you this is big boy politics. This is literally the only language the liberals know MONEY.
