Why isn’t the aiming that message at Doug Ford and Danielle Smith? They control healthcare in their provinces

Bring ICE to canada!! STOP villifying Danielle Smith. She's right!!

Alberta has ZERO sales tax. Cry harder--especially when Danielle Smith asked to INCREASE immigrants in her throne speech last year. Now she blames immigrants. Disgusting!

Alberta is so lucky to have Danielle Smith as your leader. Wish you could help us in BC what a disaster. You go girl

Danielle Smith should not be allowed to hold a referendum on creating a War Against Canada. Or to falsely change the Constitution at her whim and demands of a foreign government like Trumps 51st State.

While Global News provides the stage, Danielle Smith delivers a masterclass in the St. Petersburg playbook, using a $60 oil dip to justify a referendum that reads like a manual for national collapse. It is impressive how she pivots from a $10,000 "vacation" at Mar-a-Lago to suddenly worrying about the "sustainability" of the very social services she’s busy undermining with tiered citizenship and constitutional power grabs. Most Canadians are either too polite to say it or too blinded by the flood of compromat to notice, but this isn't provincial leadership; it's a performative libertarian fantasy designed to fracture the federation while the RCMP and CSIS are left watching from the sidelines. Apparently, "taking back control" means handing the keys to whoever is currently whispering in her ear at a Florida golf club. It is high time we stopped pretending this regional arson is "direct democracy" and started calling it the sovereignty-shattering interference that it actually is.

Immigration is not a provincial power, it is the sole responsibility of the federal government. Therefore this referendum is an utter waste of time and money. Danielle Smith deal with the problems of your province such as Education and Healthcare! Stop creating problems!

Danielle Smith asked Ottawa for more TFWs and also had the Alberta Is Calling campaign, spending millions of tax dollars, what a dope!

The Alberta Is Calling campaign ran from 2022 to 2023. In 2024 Danielle Smith wrote to Justin Trudeau begging for more immigrants. In 2025 Danielle Smith tried to bring in immigrant workers from the UAE.

Ah Danielle Smith most recent dog whistle, all she has is these distractions because when you look at her actual policy it is her mismanagement that is all she has as a legacy.

Danielle Smith for Prime Minister 🇨🇦 Liberalism is the poison of our country

Danielle Smith needs to go

RCMP won't even investigate Danielle Smith or peepee.

Mark Carney needs to start putting his boot on Danielle Smith's neck sore to speak, because if he does not and we lose Canada, we will be gunned down in the streets, just like what is happening now. So I hope everyone realizes and remembers that and for any albertan. Watching this and reading these comments, if you want your CPP and AOS in the future, if you decide to back Danielle Smith on this garbage separation, you will never see it. Don't forget the disability. Credit does not go to the people that are on ache. It goes right straight to Danielle Smith. And that's where your CPP noas will go. So if you're close to retirement and a hillbilly, you better have a good nest. Egg saved

Yeah. We want rule of law, and we want Danielle Smith to be tried and convicted and put in prison for treason. That's what albertans want the sane albertans

As A Canadian I FULLY SUPPORT THIS.... Justin Trudeau and Danielle Smith let in WAAAAY TOOO MANY IMMIGRANTS AT ONCE...

FU*CK YOU TRUMP!!! \n\nTOTAL LOVE TO❤❤❤❤❤ DANIELLE SMITH ❤️ ? ? ? ? ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤????MUCH LOVE DANIELLE SMITH ❤️ ♥️ ? ? ? ? ❤️ ♥️ ? ? ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Well done Justin Trudeau, we're proud of you. You said it with firm voice and with determination. You are one son of the soil, unlike weak and wavering Pollivere and Danielle Smith.\nWe still want you to be our PM.

Trudeau is a jackass. He ignored the warnings until the last minute. Danielle Smith is the sole politician responsible for the delay.\nTrudeau has destroyed our economy. He's chased away $100s of BILLIONS of investment, resulting in $$TRILLIONS of lost annual revenues.\nOnce we are rud of these idiot leftists in power, we will hopefully have an opportunity to reestablish an adult relationship with the world again.

As a ??ian I TOTALLY agree with you! The ONLY reason our leading 'party' is attempting ANYthjng with securing the border is because Trump is making him! (SAVE for Alberta that is) Our premiere Danielle Smith used his tariff(s) warning to the positive and IMMEDIATELY put $$ into securing OUR border. The length we share between Alberta ad Washington and Montana!

I'm from Toronto and I apologize for our ignorant Maple Maga who believe Trudeau is the problem because people like Pierre Poilievre, Doug Ford, Danielle Smith, trump and Putin said so.

Trump said, Secure the border and pay the 2 percent to the military.\nInstead, Eastern leaders decide to WAIT for threatened tariffs and, when it happens, they decide on having a trade war.\nThat is liberal thinking in action.\n\nHow much would it cost to secure the border and pay the 2 percent Canada owes? (which would benefit Canada).\n\nInstead they choose to show their pride and demonstrative stupidity.\n\nIt's the Canadian people that suffer.\n\nTHEY SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO ALBERTA'S PREMIER DANIELLE SMITH.\n\nWake up Federation leaders.\nCanadian citizens (especially in the west) are going to suffer (even more than you've already caused).\n\nGet back to improved relations with the US, and, ALSO, seek out more trade with EU and anyone other country available.\nThis will make Canada stronger.\nWell, that and actually having elections!

The dark side of Canada is that fascists like pierre poilievre are on the rise. Fascists like danielle smith have already have been elected.

Old stock Canadian kids can't get jobs this is so wrong what our government is doing, Danielle Smith said the Sikhs literally built the foundation of our province ((Alberta))crazy!!

People from all over Canada are moving to Alberta , Calgary in particular. The cost of living is less than Ontario, Quebec and BC. The proximity to the mountains is great. Calgary is a beautiful city with great neighborhood’s and parks. The technology sector is attracting a large number of companys to Calgary because of the reasons above but also because the work force is one of the youngest and most educated,mainly because of the training for the oil and gas sector. Being just over an hour from one of the most beautiful national parks in the world doesn’t hurt. Banff National park. Also with access to many summer vacation spots in south and central BC. All these things make Calgary a great place to live. Alberta also has many other cities and towns worth checking out. With a competent and caring provincial leader in Danielle Smith, Alberta’s future is looking bright.

Hey Tyler i love your work. I am a savagely loyal Albertan. \nAlberta is the best province. Change my mind. \nBut if Alberta starts slipping to the Left with another NDP/Socialist government, i would move to the US no question. Not just anywhere though. The 2 coasts are dumpster fires. (No offense if you live there) Canada is messed up like the 2 coasts. Trudeaus MO has been to systematically dismantle this once great, thriving, proud country for 8 long years. With election fraud and more seats in the Maritime provinces than all the Western provinces, and the Federal government bribing those poorer provinces for votes, it may be a long time before the Liberals are removed. And we will eat Crickets in trudeaus dystopian plans for Canadians. This is not a joke. The individual States have much more power than the provinces. Look up Danielle Smith, Premier of Alberta, she has done great things in a short time. Mostly fighting Trudeau against his attempts to shut down our provinces oil and gas and farming to save the planet from climate change. ?

QUEBEC NUMBER 1 ?? ARE YOU INSANE?? THEY ARE DEPENDING OF THE REST OF CANADA, THEY ARE LAZY BUMS AND HATE THE REST OF CANADA. WITHOUT ALL THE MONEY OTTAWA TAKES FROM ALBERTA QUEBEC WOULDN'T EXISTS., BUT, NOW WITH THE PREMIER DANIELLE SMITH EVERYTHING WILL CHANGE FOR THE BEST FOR ALBERTA. NO MORE EXPLOITATION FROM OTTAWA.
