We can’t have solar or winds farms because it might ruin our “pristine viewscapes”… but open pit mining of the most polluting fossil fuel we’ve ever had by a foreign billionaire is totally fine.
Your hypocrisy is showing Danielle.

It's not hypocrisy if she was lying about why she doesn't like wind farms in the first place.
Ffs, I can't wait for this muppet to be voted out.
Don't count on it. She's got a few years left to gerrymander the rural ridings and get herself back in.
The fact that ANYONE in this fucking province supports her is heartbreaking.
She would have to gerrymander very, very hard to win that way. Like, she's basically have to cut the two cities into nonexistance.
Your first part makes me immensely sad lol. Yeah I'd agree, she's something, and not leadership something for sure.
I work with the public, I hear both... "I'm here because of Smith" or "I'm leaving because of Smith" - all I can do is nod and smile with the former when they start going off 🫠, usually a certain demographic (that you can likely guess). It goes in one ear and out the other immediately, none of their reasonings for support make sense if you're not that demographic...
As a dual Australian and Canadian citizen, good. Fuck Gina Rinehart and fuck Danielle Smith.
JFC Alberta, you need to get that shitheel out of office.
I can't believe she was elected. She crossed the fucking floor and what 8 years later all is forgiven and she's elected.
I mean, she was elected by a whole 1300 votes.
It's all about tribalism. All of it.
All of her politics are about signalling that she's a good member of the tribe, and aligning those tribal boundaries with the interests of her donors. So we get a mix of Great Value Fascism with oil industry pandering as a result.
Crossing the fucking floor is a neon flashing sign she's not a member of the tribe. It's a sign that she'll backstab and sell out at a moments notice.
For me it wasn't just that she crossed the floor, but she was the leader of the official opposition that crossed the floor and took 10 MLAs with her, effectively kneecapping the Wildrose Party ... and then had the gall to excuse it away by saying she "was naive and Jim Prentice sold her a bill of goods" (source).
She is as scuzzy at it gets.
