Premier Danielle Smith says she is striking a post-mortem election panel to give Albertans the chance to raise issues they might want put to a referendum.

Responding to a question Saturday on support for separation, Smith says she is looking to hear from all Albertans after the federal election, giving voters a chance to raise any issue, including leaving Canada.

I have an issue Id like to raise...

FFS if she wants to be an American so badly, resign and move to Florida already.

Distract distract distract!!!

She is unfit to be running our province and this is a complete waste of taxpayer money, but I’m probably most offended by her misuse of the term striking.

[Looch City]

Like clockwork.

If Carney wins, I doubt she'll even call to congratulate. Probably post on Twitter about some demands and ask why they haven't been met yet. Then cry national unity while pulling this separation bull####.

Deplorable Danielle.

Absolutely no shame in her.

No s***. There’s nothing stopping her or any of her separatist loser buddies from leaving Canada if they’re that obsessed with the idea. She’s such a reprehensible scumbag. I just wish she’d f*** off already and stop trying to divide people, especially at a time like this when we all need to work together. This kind of crap is so infuriating.

The problem is that their definition of freedom is forcing everyone to conform to what they want.

That wouldn’t survive a referendum. I hope.

What goodies was she promised from her latest trip down south? Governor of Canada?

A really nice hat...

Time for an election recall.
Smith got 13,315 votes in the Brooks-Medicine Hat riding.
Need signatures from 40% of her vote total.
5,326 signatures from 35,385 eligible voters.


Please end this traitorous idiocy.

[getbak]

It's 40% of the total number of eligible voters in the riding, not just those who voted.

This is a clear sign that they know the election is a complete loss for the conservative.

Bull####. She certainly does not want to hear from Albertans about coal mines.

I'd ahe will follow through on this referendum premise, wouldn't the overwhelming request be a snap election?

[indes]

Nah, most Albertans are uninformed and love the UCP and CPC. They couldn't tell you a single policy or decision the parties have made in the last decade but blue = O+G = good. I heard this from 3 people this week. Nothing but twitter soundbites about the Libs from anyone.

Not a clue about anything, just Blue = good. I don't have as much faith in our populace as some of you.

This is how conservatives prefer it too - an uneducated, ignorant, unable to critically think, base of supporters that are more interested in party color than party platform. "Blue = O+G/'Berta = Good" is literally their ethos, and many fall for it hook, line and sinker because that's what people are encouraged to believe in 'Berta and have been taught from an early age at home, and thinking otherwise is evil.

Watching some members of my family spin doctor the current UCP government as still being the exact same PCs of yesteryear is cringeworthy. Some people are so indoctrinated they just refuse to vote for anything but party colors because they don't know how to break free of that mental prison.

I had a manager of an Oilfield services company tell me this week that he can't fire anyone anymore, thanks to Trudeau.

Yeah sure bud, Justin Trudeau had his grubby mitts all over Alberta's employer friendly, provincially-made employment standards

It's no longer arguing opinion or values. Facts are no longer facts

It’s even worse than that. You are ineligible to sign if you haven’t lived in the riding for more than 3 months. Meanwhile there would be no way of knowing how many previous voters have moved out of the riding so you have less people able to sign than the total number of “eligible” constituents.
