Greg MacEachern on Danielle Smith: "It's kind of shameful how expensive it was in order for her to run a referendum to decide whether or not she has the power and strength to say to separatists, 'Get out of my party.'"

Danielle Smith is cranking up the ol'smile-and-shamelessly-lie strategy in the wake of the referendum debacle.

Libertarians don't believe in govt., but they do believe whole-heartedly in taxpayer theft & managing a region according to personal relationships.
The UCP having the word conservative in its name is a serious problem.

Fred DeLorey: "I would put down a flag right now, the United Conservatives are pro-Canada party. If you're not pro-Canada, get out of the party. It should be as simple as that. Will it be? We'll see."

The shy child in my pediatric experience is brought out of their shell and made to laugh if you play the absent minded doctor, getting their name and age wrong more than once. A wink to the parent let's them in on the game.

But FLAGS!
Food bank visits in Alberta have surged by 156.3% since 2019, making it the highest increase in food bank usage among all Canadian provinces and territories.
😠
Danielle Smith's definition of the Alberta Advantage.
Many Albertans working full-time jobs are forced to utilize emergency food programs because their wages cannot absorb the rising cost of basic necessities.
According to Food Banks Canada's 2026 HungerCount report released on October 21, 2026, Alberta recorded 230,196 monthly visits in March 2026, which is up 9.3% from just the previous year.

Here is George Clooney’s response after Trump accused him of being a "Hollywood elite."
"Here’s the thing: I grew up in Kentucky. I sold insurance door-to-door. I sold ladies’ shoes. I worked at an all-night liquor store. I would buy suits that were too big and too long and cut the bottom of the pants off to make ties so I’d have a tie to go on job interviews. I grew up understanding what it was like to not have health insurance for eight years.
So this idea that I’m somehow the “Hollywood elite” and this guy who takes a shit in a gold toilet is somehow the man of the people is laughable.
People in Hollywood, for the most part, are people from the Midwest who moved to Hollywood to have a career. So this idea of “coastal elites” living in a bubble is ridiculous. Who lives in a bigger bubble?
He lives in a gold tower and has twelve people in his company. He doesn’t run a corporation of hundreds of thousands of people he employs and takes care of. He ran a company of twelve people!
When you direct a film you have seven different unions all wanting different things, you have to find consensus with all of them, and you have to get them moving in the same direction.
He’s never had to do any of that kind of stuff. I just look at it and I laugh when I see him say “Hollywood elite.” Hollywood elite? I don’t have a star on Hollywood Boulevard, Donald Trump has a star on Hollywood Boulevard! Fuck you!"

Okay, let's grab some popcorn and try and figure this out.
Mitch Sylvestre claims he is still the CEO and on the board of the APP alongside Jeff Rath.
He says he built up the APP to what it is and isn't going anywhere- and he's not leaving the UCP.
He adds he doesn't know if he's still friends with the premier
"I'm a pretty key member of that group"-Mitch Sylvestre says he won't step down as UCP Riding Assoc. President regardless of what Smith says.
He also insists he's still APP's CEO, claiming Tanya Clemens & Chris Scott were never registered as directors.

A person experiencing homelessness takes a hot shower, washes their clothes, puts on a brand-new pair of clean socks, and says to me:
“I feel like a human being again.”
Imagine that.
Treat people like human beings, and they start to feel like human beings again.
Sometimes, dignity starts with something as simple as a hot shower and a clean pair of socks.

Fred DeLorey: "All of these separatist 'leaders,' not a single one of them have been elected to anything. Go put your name on a ballot. Try to become an MLA. Try to create the movement through a democratic process. You had your chance. It failed."

"The Privy Council Office has not said which premiers will attend the gathering."
Will Danielle Smith and her fake Cherokee heritage be present or is she focused on alienating First Nations Chiefs in Alberta and BC?
