I Love this Women!! What an intelligent person.
Premier Smith.. we are behind you. You are amazing!!!
We need and require these jobs created again. Make Alberta Great Again…MAGA!!!
Excellent discussion – so grateful for common sense! God keep our Land!
Impressive interview. Danielle is very detailed and direct in answering any questions. Quite shocking how knowledgeable she is regarding the energy industry in her province. This only made me like her more after watching and terrified that our high swing in urban areas to NDP may not find her in power for next term. I agree with some of the comments that Pierre and her could do some serious economic magic together.
Don't forget Canadians it is your duty to indicate to these politicians that they are in violation of your rights and indicate to them which rights you are they are violating if they enact a bill if they proceed with an acting that bill after it being informed of which rights they are violating and that Bill gets passed those individuals are guilty of a greater crime that you may not even be aware of
In ALL DUE Respect Premier Smith.
I don't believe anything you said!
Once Taxes go UP? They NEVER go down! The Gov't NEEDS a PAY RAISE and PENSIONS!
Why am I still at $15.00 for Minimum wage? The sad thing is that the NDP increased our Minimum wage! TY for doing NOTHING for Albertan's!
The Chances of DTJ winning in America? 96% IMO. That will allow DTJ to circumvent Biden's resolve to stop that Pipe Line from Hardisty AB into the USA. That will ne YOUR "Windfall". I just don't BELIEVE in YOU!!
IF you want to know how Oil/Gas is PRODUCED? 25 Years experience here!
Actually go and do the work for 12 hrs. instead of reading books! Whether it is +40c or -40c. You wouldn't last 3 hrs NOR would any of your party or any Opposition for a FACT!
I honestly got tired of paying MORE Income tax then most people got paid after Taxes for in two weeks! GO FIGURE!
Lived it done it and the Political Party only cares about the MONEY! I don't Support those that will NOT Support me, which will be NEVER!
Politically Speaking of course! Since Danielle Smith know where this "might" go.
It takes electricity to make hydrogen???
Trudeau needs to moving into 1000 sq.ft home first and then feed him once a day.
Just look at ice core samples from the Arctic. During the Jurassic age, when nature was exploding, CO2 was over 2,000 ppm vs 450 ppm today. Plants die at below 200 ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere.
Show how little Danielle knows about economics. NO wonder it took so long for her to graduate 😂😂😂.
Excellent interview!
We need to start pushing for the completion of the Keystone XL. Trump will likely be on board with completing it to help become energy independent again.
Stop the co2 capture. It is utterly ridiculous that we would take plant food (co2) out of the atmosphere. People with more than half a brain need to listen to scientists like Dr. Tim Ball, Dr. Willie Soon, Dr. Patrick Moore and Dr. Freeman Dyson. They all say that we need more CO2.
When Trudeau is voted out of office just us the emergency act on Trudeau and all members of the W.E.F in Canada's parliament and seize all there assets because this is foreign interference and treason to Canada and Canadians and they are traitors and let it go through the justice system of the Supreme Court

Moved to Alberta last year from Winnipeg, love it 😀 and proud to be part of wild rose country ❤️
Mississippi
The charter is garbage, nothing but asswipe. We have English common law and the Magna Carta.
How do these NDP/Liberal nimrods manage to look at themselves in the mirror! They must go!!
You have to understand the agenda, its not about the environment and its never been, it's about control and the decimation of the middle class. If not for that, the entire fiasco would look like one idiot after another imposing an agenda of stupid……but when you own the news, they sing your tune.
I've always seen myself as a Canadian first — I had the good luck to have wandering parents who allowed me to grow up in the west, the north, the mountains, the great lakes area, and the prairies. But the older I get the more aware I am of the terrible political inequalities between Eastern and Western Canada. If you look back in history, the East has always behaved like taking on Rupert's land was this huge burden-
they looked down on natives and the necessary but undesireable East Europeans settlers –though they have managed throughout Confederation to redirect much of the resource benefits towards Ontario/Quebec. Don't forget, the west was settled through treaties. Making treaties to me means making allies. Just as Ottawa shamefully did not stand to help Germany and Japan when they asked for help with energy, Ottawa has been a horrible ally to our own domestic allies, the First Nations. Many of these Nations also want resource development in order to build the infrastructure they need that Ottawa will never build. I hope the east does not also say "No" to them. We have heard no from Ottawa for far too long and are at great risk of falling down the rabbit hole of an extreme ideologue named Guilbeault, who seems to have some strange mesmeric control over the prime minister……Can some one actually explain to me how anyone could actually and honestly be a liberal voter without extreme mental illness
Alberta Must Not and Cannot Fall!
Wow. She’s amazing
Danielle Smith and Wab Kinew are two of the most interesting and grounded politicians in Canada
The Equalization formula needs to be changed to take into account a province's resources and potential to provide for itself. If Québec chooses to leave it's natural gas in the ground, then no Equalization payments for it. If you deliberately choose to be poor, then you don't deserve welfare.
Truth
It's the Liberals that are now saying "don't do this" "don't do that", "you don't need a house", "you can't say that" etc etc…
Ive lived here Alberta, my whole adult life and at 62 i see bleakness…. you premier smith have NOT kept your promises. Pension, police, EQUALIZATION, Tax reduction. But instead you fattened up government and ignored your base
the whole green agenda is another y2k. money grab for big teck and big pharma
Don't forget about hydro power where available.
the separation of church from state was for the country not to be ruled by one religion group. it is not to separate religeous bleliefs from government. in other words the teaching of religion can not be separated from laws . the best laws that work for mankind are based on religeous teachings. for example the two greatest religeous teaching is to love god and to love your neighbor as yourself. to reject this teaching will be the downfall of any country from having a free and democratic sociality
My small town in northern B.C. now gets so smoke-filled every summer that I have had to leave more than once. – Is this not related to global warming and use of fossil fuels? –
Love that lady!
Jordan, you’re cool too.
Premier Smith said some very sensible things regarding the federal government’s plans to fight global warming. However, in an interview that ran more than 100 minutes she never explicitly suggested that the Canadian government withdraw from the Paris agreement, which binds Canada to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by at least 40% below their 2005 level by 2030. Donald Trump withdrew the US from the Paris agreement as US president. Maxime Bernier wishes to withdraw Canada from the Paris agreement. Why doesn’t Premier Smith concur? If she takes it as a distinct possibility that the social coat of an extra tonne of CO2 emissions is negative, which was Jordan Peterson’s contention, shouldn’t she be opposed to Canada being committed to the Paris agreement?
Ross McKitrick just published a paper on July 18, “The Economic Impact and GHG Effects of the Federal Government’s Emissions Reduction Plan through 2030”. Unlike Premier Smith he concluded that the Liberal backup tax, with all its faults, had been successful in reducing GHG emissions. He also believed that regulatory measures, including Premier Smith’s favourite, Carbon Capture and Underground Storage, generally imposed much higher costs for every tonne reduction in GHG emissions than the tax on GHG emissions.
And of course, the tax on GHG emissions could be made less onerous by reducing the rate, which is almost certainly too high, and changing the rebate structure, so it reduces income taxes rather than distributing Justin Bucks.
It's interesting that Jordan doesn't challenge her on anything. Accepting everything she says as truth without political motivation
Her biggest mistake as Premier was sanctioning “Alberta is Calling” national campaign. Thank to this stupid move, Alberta is now swarming with folks from all over country causing severe housing and affordability crisis. Still proud to be an Albertan and have Smith as our premier.
Proud to be an Albertan!
Hey Smith:
How about stopping the bullshit favoritism for immigrants and or start shipping them back until Canada can bring her increase in infrastructure up to par by PAYING ACTUAL CANADIAN BORN CONTRIBUTERS TO TAXES THEIR WHOLE F LIFE?
Danielle is the best ❤
She's not listening……co2 is needed…..politicians not so much
