Another example of how cons are nothing but weakling cowards at their rotten cores. ^^ ^^

Albertans voted Conservative, and generally have voted that way throughout recent history, so are you saying Albertans are rotten to the core? So would that mean yes that's right?

Albertans vote Conservative because the NDP are weakling cowards and just rotten to the core. Alberta and BC deserve better than what the NDP brings to the table. Go Danielle!

Here's what the ^^ ^^ mean

Corrupt in every way, that's how. NDP is in bed with the unions. Unions are in-bed with organized crime. This impacts every aspect of policy making and every aspect of our lives.

So you're saying, as I am an Alberta NDP member, and under our Constitution I am automatically a member of the federal NDP, which wecomes trade unions as affiliate members. Therefore I'm in bed with organized crime and as a result I'm corrupt in every way. Now, for the purpose of our discussion here, is that right?

Rephrased, I'm saying rotten to the core weaking consevatives would be too cowardly to answer my question.

What a snoozefest. Where's the wrong-doing? Feckless people are fired all the time. The government was trying to get things done ('pressuring people to perform') and AHS people being AHS people, were dragging their feet. All I see is a government trying to deliver services to the public as efficiently as possible, but they met with interference. Nothing to see here. *yawn*

All may not be perfect in Premier Smith’s little world.
https://www.castanet.net/news/Canada/5 ... nt#535203

When relatively newly minted “Alberta Infrastructure Minister Peter Guthrie says he is resigning from cabinet, citing concerns over procurement practices across government.
He says as a backbencher he'll be able to better serve his constituents by pushing Premier Danielle Smith's United Conservative Party government to conduct itself with honesty and integrity….Guthrie, in his resignation letter, says he has had concerns about government procurement issues for months but the rest of cabinet does not share his worries.”

Currently there are Alberta court cases alleging governmental corruption. Seems that no matter what party is in government in Alberta “corruption” always seems to raise its ugly head.

[Babba_not_Gump]

These numbers are very concerning. 30% of people polled in Alberta and Saskatchewan would vote to separate if the Liberals form the next government. The numbers are similar for Quebec. That is shocking.

But what's even more concerning are the number of people, many here on Castanet, who are not just critical but openly hate or despise Alberta. Are you people so ignorant that what you're spewing is simply fueling the fires of separatism?

Get off your high horses and look at where you live. Is your province any better, is Canada any better with your negativity towards other provinces? If you want Canada to survive then we need all the provinces and Territories to stay together.

It's time for you naysayers to shut up or leave.

Inside an Australian Miner’s Brawl with Alberta Regulators

"Told to monitor pollution, Montem issued insults and legal threats, documents reveal.

When the Alberta Energy Regulator asked an Australian coal prospector to improve selenium monitoring and uphold the law at a proposed mining site, the firm’s CEO not only refused but threatened to sue individual members of the agency.

At one contentious meeting the executive compared dealing with the regulator to being examined by a “meddling” proctologist.

Documents obtained by The Tyee show that Peter Doyle, then CEO of Montem Resources, not only fought a request to establish monitoring for the fish-killing toxin and water pollutant at Tent Mountain, but entered into a two-year-long dispute process with the regulator.

Montem is also one of several Australian companies suing the United Conservative Party government for alleged damages totalling $15 billion after the government placed a moratorium on coal development in the Rockies in 2022.

After the lawsuits were filed, the province quietly rescinded the moratorium this year and opened up the Rockies to foreign coal speculators.

But as a 256-page collection of Alberta Energy Regulator documents, briefing notes and correspondence related to the dispute under the title “Record of the Decision Maker” shows, Alberta regulations and decisions made in the public interest were constantly challenged by Australian coal speculators long before the lawsuits.

Nice to see a provincial leader securing contracts with countries other than the USA despite the liberals who determined there just “ wasn’t a business case for LNG . This contract will help not only Alberta buy the entire country . Why is it that every single day we see the Alberta bashing on this forum yet never congratulations to a premier that works hard for her province and in turn the ENTIRE COUNTRY .

For those of us who are old enough to remember 1995 and the Quebec Referendum, the passage of the Election Statutes Amendment Act brings back some worrisome memories. It is only four days since the fourth consecutive Liberal government was elected and Premier Smith's government just made it easier for activists to put Alberta's separation from Canada on a binding referendum ballot for voters. When finally passed in the legislature, a referendum could come as early as late summer. There is little doubt that the referendum bill will be passed.
https://open.alberta.ca/publications/r08p4 Alberta Referendum Act
Premier Smith says she believes “in Alberta sovereignty within a united Canada,” Smith said. “However, there is a citizen referenda process that if citizens want to put a question on a ballot and get enough of their fellow citizens to sign that petition, then those questions will be put forward. Again, I don’t want to prejudge what a question might be.” https://edmonton.citynews.ca/2025/04/2 ... n-canada/ While Premier Smith says she does not want to prejudice a ballot, it is clear that she is disappointed with the recent election results and wants to give the new government something else to think about as it deals with trade and economic issues. This indicates that the Smith government is more interested in disruption than fostering the unity that would be necessary to develop a Canada wide energy corridor or reducing inter-provincial trade barriers.

It's a bit rich to expect Alberta to bend the knee to a prime minister who is intent on forcing Alberta to succumb to the net zero mandates. We will soon see how genuinely willing Carney is to cooperate with Alberta vs how intent Carney is on forcing his preferred agenda on the province.

What is equally important is how genuinely Premier Smith and the Alberta government is willing to cooperate and work with PM Carney and the newly minted minority government. Want new refineries and an energy corridor that includes new pipelines, then mutual respect and cooperation will be necessary.

[rustled]

Alberta is clearly open for business. We'll see if Carney is genuinely willing to go against everything he has ever publicly championed in order to work cooperatively with Alberta.

Gosh, that was quite the leap and interpretation there.

The bald-faced interpretation of Smith’s thoughts are very convenient. Did she ever say such a thing, or is that wishful thinking that she did ?
