Amazing at showing no evidence to support her claims. Yes, like most politicians. Facts and scientific evidence is rarely used or shown to make their case, because if it was, then people could see through their BS and know they are just propping up big fossil fuel capitalist companies and other related capitalist companies to further profit maximize and exploit resources and workers into a tougher and tougher future for an increasing number of people.

Terrible leadership! Smith deliberately denies that climate change is making life more expensive for families and putting the reliability of the electrical grid at risk. This is an irrefutable fact that Conservatives refuse to acknowledge. Climate change is costing the US economy $150 billion annually - and climbing rapidly. This year 60% of medium & small sized businesses in Canada reported being impacted by record wildfires, damaging storms, floods, and heat domes - with 51% experiencing an increase in operating costs was a result - and 44% reporting a direct loss of revenue. Impossible to have a good faith discussion on the climate crisis when Conservatives are in complete denial - with their head buried in the bitumen sands!

There was a time when the government looked after federal issues, while the provinces held all the real power(provincial). Look where the liberals have taken us. Mary Canadians don't have the time to wait for an election..
It's not. Heavily centralized governments are far more efficient at guaranteeing the prosperity of their people. Privatizing everything in sight (as Klein did) only jacks up prices for the consumer, increases bureaucracy, and screws over working people.
Not so-a centralized government under a dictatorship of working people managing an economy that works for all instead a few would be a beautiful thing-capitalism is the problem-endless war and greed-killing people and the environment so that a few people own everything including electricity, water and the air we breathe is the problem.
Yeah we chose a real winner all right. Having 1 idiot as a PM and another as a premier definitely wouldn't yields bad results... Right? (Cough redford cough).
It's too expensive because Alberta privatized their grid. The solution is to return the power grid to being a public service. Alberta is the Texas of Canada when it comes to this issue. They pillaged public institutions to give their corporate benefactors profits from taxpayer-funded infrastructure. As is typical, the privatization led to parasitic corporate middlemen maximizing short-term profits by removing skilled workers and gouging customers. What did they think would happen? Of course nobody wants to build a nuclear power plant over there. The way Alberta's utilities operate, there would be a meltdown. Given how the CRC is allergic to taking responsibility, they'd blame the engineers. Better to just not risk your career and reputation in Alberta.
If Alberta is the Texas of Canada, does this mean they are going to have thousands of people moving there along with major corporations to benefit from the great economy compared to everywhere else in the country along with having multiple universities that are top 10 in the world in their retrospective field? When you create analogies to try and make something look bad, you probably should select a failure instead of a success. I am not even a Texan but trying to make out one of the most currently economically vibrant states out to be a failed one is just utter lunacy.
Is the Ontario grid also privatized? We keep hearing of people in Ontario who had to give up their homes because their utility bills exceeded the monthly cost of their mortgages.
Keep up the good work Alberta. A large scale decentralization of power in Canada is long overdue. People everywhere need to realize how little the government does for us all. Especially the federal government.
Feds do nothing for this province because it’s a guaranteed win by idiot voters. Why bother ensuring the wants and needs of Alberta’s populace are met when we don’t need to. Even the Conservatives do nothing for Alberta because you’ll vote blue no matter what. Easy win.
@coreya151-- I believe that it goes back to when Justin Trudeau's father, the Late Pierre Elliott Trudeau fostering western alienation in Canada.

I’m from Quebec and live in Ontario, I would be so proud to have the leadership Alberta does! Nice to see someone standing up to this federal government.
As someone from South Africa who knows what constant blackouts are like, I promise you want to act before it’s to late, once the grid is at breaking point you just play catch-up and while I’m certain the infrastructure is 20 x better in Canada it’s still much better to never get to that point.

In today's changing economic scene, it's wise to diversify your investments. Consider a mix of traditional assets like savings accounts, stocks, and bonds, along with dynamic options like cryptocurrencies. This strategy helps guard against inflation and economic uncertainty. Staying informed and blending traditional and innovative investments is key for financial resilience. Samuel Peter Descovich played a vital role in making my portfolio a success.
Thank you for sharing, Your coach was simple to discover online. I unwillingly copied and pasted his complete name into my browser, and now his page is at the top! And I wrote to him. He appears knowledgeable based on his online resume,incredibly great and helpful, far above expectations
In navigating the economic landscape, a diversified portfolio blending traditional and dynamic assets proves to be a strategic choice. The successful portfolio managed under the guidance of Samuel Peter Descovich exemplifies the impact of well-informed decisions, underscoring the significance of expert advice in today's financial landscape.
Exactly! Which is why I appreciate giving a financial advisor the power of decision-making. Giving their specialized expertise and education, as well as the fact that each and every one of their skills is centered on harnessing risks for its asymmetrical potential and controlling it as a buffer against certain unfavorable developments, it's practically impossible for them to underperform. I have made over $1million working with Samuel Peter Descovich, for more than five years.
Building a good investment portfolio is more complex so I would recommend you seek Samuel Peter Descovich support. This way you can get strategies designed to address your unique long/short-term goals and financial dreams

Alberta has the most expensive electricity in the primary provinces due to their own policies. You're brainwashed into thinking that the AB government is on the side of their people and not obvious and tracible corruption lol.
Sadly, most state legislatures in the United States are dominated by people who all envision themselves becoming mulit-millionaires in the US Congress.
Not a fan of any particular political party over here but we keep hearing of people in Ontario who had to give up their homes because their utility bills exceeded the monthly cost of their mortgages. So she's got enormous support in Alberta IF she carries through on this strategy without compromise.
Also don't you guys have like 5, 7 and 10 year mortgages? Idk much about the topic but I found that interesting.....they keep raising the rates on renewal no? And with the West Coast in Canada (and the US too) being bought up by a lot of Chinese nationals it just seems like chaos lol
Any fuel source for energy production that is a commodity, like gas, coal, oil, will inherently make the electricity cost more because of the cost of that commodity. Be wary of anyone who is heavily backing hydrocarbon electricity production right now. OPEC/ oil cartel are making massive profits and they don't care about Canada or Australia (where I am from)
Where do you keep hearing about this, in a quick google search, i found that Albertans pay for electricity at rates higher than ontario. Both have variable rate charging depending on time of day and then throughout the year but ON had lower minimum and maximum pricing than AB. ON has a power grid that powers more people spread out over a larger land area for less money and all at the same time producing lower emissions... Same with BC and Quebec.
Sorry but that's literally not happened. There were minor hiccups with Ford's meddling but year-over-year Alberta has steadfastly had the most expensive utility rates. No one in Ontario has utility rates exceeding the value of their mortgage. That's asinine.
lol Huh? What part of her is competent? What part of her is honest? Her whole party is a dumpster fire. All she ever does is cry and complain about the federal government and doesn't do anything to help the Albertans who are wondering how they are going to pay their mortgages. Who wonder how they are going to pay for their power bills or put food on the table. Why should she care about that she got a nice job and she doesn't need to worry. Our tax dollars pay her salary so she doesn't need to worry about her bills. She is a politician through and through and she doesn't give a damn about you and me.
Honest? By using terror in her speech? And tell me, where is HER scientific study to backup her saying? And what about invoking sovereignty WITHOUT consulting the citizen's first?
thank you for standing up for us! Alberta is tough place full of tough people and it's nice to see a politician who is able to exemplify one of our most prominent feature.
Thank you so much Premier Danielle Smith. I moved from Edmonton to Fort McMurray in 2021. I'm an Aish recipient. I knew the living expenses are much greater here. I just wanted to be closer to my children and grandchildren. They are all working so hard to keep their homes and babies fed. Stay Strong Alberta 💪 ❤ we can and must stand up for what is right ruling. No more harm !!
This is pretty great, but I do have one observation: so she says that based on the regulations that prevent them from building nuclear, hydro, and other generation facilities, that she's going to go against the regulations preventing them from building a natgas generation plant. If you're gonna break a rule, why does it have to be THAT one, instead of one of the others (i.e. nuclear)?
Probably due to the fact that they already have the infrastructure and resources to build NatGas while Nuclear and hydro takes significant investment of both infrastructure and resources. Then again I ain't a Canuk so my idea might just be pure smoke.
Alberta = tar sands = oil and gas. But Canada's economy is totally reliant on Alberta and the wealth share is not equitable. Imagine if you stole all your neighbor's food then made fun of them for starving. That's Canada vs Alberta.
Because this isn’t about federal overreach at all. It’s about protecting companies that have invested in fossil fuels. Your observation is absolutely valid, if she wanted to help Alberta, then she would disobey the federal government and invest in energy sources that won’t be obsolete in 10-20 years and destroy the environment in the meantime.

We are all just peasants. If she decided to all of a sudden go along with the libs, what could we do? My point is, Alberta and all the common sense people of Canada have been standing up, but it's all ignored. They act like each of our provinces are one person, the premier, and finally, king trudeau who "is" Canada. So if the premier wants to piss backwards on us, we're helpless. What we need is to humble the f out of our federal government and remind them where they really stand. (Daily Rant - ✅️) Its hard to not be jaded, sorry😅
Canada's provinces: Canada, do best if they stand together to resist the Federal overreach that tramples provincial rights underfoot (save some areas of exclusion). Danielle Smith knows the constitutional parameters inside which to proceed, that way it doesn't become Alberta vs. Ottawa, but law vs. Ottawa.
You can't have her though, she's ours. Albertans Would be happy to form alliances with like minded states as those relationships going forward will be invaluable.
Sheesh... these comments are soooo informed... Danielle Smith was a big oil lobbyist. She pushed then and now the RStar plan to give oil companies $20 billion in "incentives" for cleanup efforts... cleanup efforts already required by law. She is doing this for "the people"?! No she's protecting her own interests and it's as simple as that. She doesn't want federal government overreach to get in the way of her local government overreach.
I wholeheartedly agree with you but do you believe its a coincidence that immediately after Eric Adams began blasting Biden a supposed victim of a 1993 r*pe suddenly files a lawsuit.

Not to correct your statement but the extreme left or environmental extremists are deeply rooted in Southern Ontario and Quebec. And even if Trudeau's government is voted out in the next federal election, the likelihood of another ding-bat Trudeau government being voted in again in the future is still high. 'We' in Western Canada have no voting power with the current electoral system, in our last two federal elections despite most of Western Canada voting Conservative it was still the GTA, Quebec, and Ottawa that had all the voting power.

@@WaspMedia3Dnot to mention we're stuck with a premier we didn't even vote for. BC is great but the provincial govt is a circus. No idea why our options are such stinkers out here when it comes to provincial parties.
Alberta has allowed significant interference and lobbying from hydrocarbon industries to create a significant problem and believe the solution is to continue working with the same idea. Alberta produces significantly more emissions than ON, QC and BC despite having a lower population. If the federal mandates are not meetable, work with them to alter them and create a doable plan. Shutting down the conversation is insanity by definition. Solar is already a higher ROI for energy production. It’s fiscally and environmentally irresponsible to continue with natural gas or coal. To those thinking that upgrading the grid will result in higher costs, consider that AB has had energy rates between 16.7cents/kwh and 32.4 cents/kwh. In ontario, there are different pricing models that people can choose from and all of them are lower than the ranges alberta has had the entire year. worst case scenario, ON has a peak at 28.2 cents but the important part is that this is during on-peak hours where effective charging is much lower and can go as low as 2.8 cents. ON has lower price minimums and maximums while having a cleaner grid servicing more people over a larger land area.
As a New Jerseyan who lives under a state Governor and legislature who mindlessly drive on with their green energy fantasies regardless of the economic cost to the average person, I applaud the leaders of Alberta who are drawing a line in the sand and saying “no” to these foolish schemes.
Hey everyone. Just want to chime in and say that power bills in Alberta cost, on average, $20 more than they do in Ontario. Alberta water utility costs are on average nearly $40 cheaper. Alberta citizens pay an average of $342 a month on utilities, including electricity, gas, water, internet, cable, and landline service. Ontario citizens pay on average, $370 a month on utilities, all of the above included. Tell me; how does a $20 difference in average monthly bills constitute what essentially amounts to a panic move from the Alberta government? Well, according to people in the comments it's because people having to pay $20 more a month in utilities are being forced out of their homes because utility costs are exceeding monthly mortgage payments. Did you know that the Ontario Society of Professional Engineers blames rising power costs in Ontario on the fact that they produce too much electricity from renewable sources? The power situation in Ontario is due to provincial mismanagement. I personally feel that if Alberta let go of their intense reliance on fossil fuels and utilized renewable energy, AND managed it well enough to avoid the missteps that Ontario has made, they'd be well on their way to the cheapest electricity rates in the country. Will they do that? No, probably not. The current plan is going to line not only Smith's pockets, but the pockets of all her campaign funders as well. She doesn't care about the affordability of power for the average person, because she isn't the average person. She has an income far above what the majority of us can hope to obtain; power costs don't concern her when she's the one earning money from those costs.
Right for who? For example, pausing made-in-Alberta renewables so Amazon and Tesla could get a head start on monopolizing energy in the province, who was that right for?
Smaller grids are far more likely to fail than larger ones. This is pure fear mongering to protect her donors oil and gas profits. In Alberta electricity costs 24.175 ¢/kWh In other parts of Canada it's as low as 7.3 ¢/kWh. Making a single national grid shares the load from every power producer to every home. Multiple smaller grids just makes it more unreliable and inefficient.

You are in fact correct, they put an immediate stop on all new renewable energy generation projects on August 3rd, so not even particularly long ago.

Terrible leadership! Smith deliberately denies that climate change is making life more expensive for families and putting the reliability of the electrical grid at risk. This is an irrefutable fact that Conservatives refuse to acknowledge. Climate change is costing the US economy $150 billion annually - and climbing rapidly. This year 60% of medium & small sized businesses in Canada reported being impacted by record wildfires, damaging storms, floods, and heat domes - with 51% experiencing an increase in operating costs was a result - and 44% reporting a direct loss of revenue.
Impossible to have a good faith discussion on the climate crisis when Conservatives are in complete denial - with their head buried in the bitumen sands!

Good stuff. Heavily centralised government is a blight on every nation.
It's not. Heavily centralized governments are far more efficient at guaranteeing the prosperity of their people. Privatizing everything in sight (as Klein did) only jacks up prices for the consumer, increases bureaucracy, and screws over working people.
Not so-a centralized government under a dictatorship of working people managing an economy that works for all instead a few would be a beautiful thing-capitalism is the problem-endless war and greed-killing people and the environment so that a few people own everything including electricity, water and the air we breathe is the problem.

It's too expensive because Alberta privatized their grid. The solution is to return the power grid to being a public service.
Alberta is the Texas of Canada when it comes to this issue. They pillaged public institutions to give their corporate benefactors profits from taxpayer-funded infrastructure. As is typical, the privatization led to parasitic corporate middlemen maximizing short-term profits by removing skilled workers and gouging customers.
What did they think would happen? Of course nobody wants to build a nuclear power plant over there. The way Alberta's utilities operate, there would be a meltdown. Given how the CRC is allergic to taking responsibility, they'd blame the engineers. Better to just not risk your career and reputation in Alberta.
south Africa said hi
because corrupt government control of electric grid is soooo much better
Silence WEF-mite
If Alberta is the Texas of Canada, does this mean they are going to have thousands of people moving there along with major corporations to benefit from the great economy compared to everywhere else in the country along with having multiple universities that are top 10 in the world in their retrospective field?
When you create analogies to try and make something look bad, you probably should select a failure instead of a success. I am not even a Texan but trying to make out one of the most currently economically vibrant states out to be a failed one is just utter lunacy.
@@TheDoctorProfessorWow great response...
Is the Ontario grid also privatized? We keep hearing of people in Ontario who had to give up their homes because their utility bills exceeded the monthly cost of their mortgages.

As someone from South Africa who knows what constant blackouts are like, I promise you want to act before it’s to late, once the grid is at breaking point you just play catch-up and while I’m certain the infrastructure is 20 x better in Canada it’s still much better to never get to that point.

In today's changing economic scene, it's wise to diversify your investments. Consider a mix of traditional assets like savings accounts, stocks, and bonds, along with dynamic options like cryptocurrencies. This strategy helps guard against inflation and economic uncertainty. Staying informed and blending traditional and innovative investments is key for financial resilience. Samuel Peter Descovich played a vital role in making my portfolio a success.
Thank you for sharing, Your coach was simple to discover online. I unwillingly copied and pasted his complete name into my browser, and now his page is at the top! And I wrote to him. He appears knowledgeable based on his online resume,incredibly great and helpful, far above expectations
In navigating the economic landscape, a diversified portfolio blending traditional and dynamic assets proves to be a strategic choice. The successful portfolio managed under the guidance of Samuel Peter Descovich exemplifies the impact of well-informed decisions, underscoring the significance of expert advice in today's financial landscape.
Exactly! Which is why I appreciate giving a financial advisor the power of decision-making. Giving their specialized expertise and education, as well as the fact that each and every one of their skills is centered on harnessing risks for its asymmetrical potential and controlling it as a buffer against certain unfavorable developments, it's practically impossible for them to underperform. I have made over $1million working with Samuel Peter Descovich, for more than five years.
Building a good investment portfolio is more complex so I would recommend you seek Samuel Peter Descovich support. This way you can get strategies designed to address your unique long/short-term goals and financial dreams

Not a fan of any particular political party over here but we keep hearing of people in Ontario who had to give up their homes because their utility bills exceeded the monthly cost of their mortgages. So she's got enormous support in Alberta IF she carries through on this strategy without compromise.
Also don't you guys have like 5, 7 and 10 year mortgages? Idk much about the topic but I found that interesting.....they keep raising the rates on renewal no? And with the West Coast in Canada (and the US too) being bought up by a lot of Chinese nationals it just seems like chaos lol
Alberta first, Quebec next 💪💪💪
Any fuel source for energy production that is a commodity, like gas, coal, oil, will inherently make the electricity cost more because of the cost of that commodity. Be wary of anyone who is heavily backing hydrocarbon electricity production right now. OPEC/ oil cartel are making massive profits and they don't care about Canada or Australia (where I am from)
Where do you keep hearing about this, in a quick google search, i found that Albertans pay for electricity at rates higher than ontario.
Both have variable rate charging depending on time of day and then throughout the year but ON had lower minimum and maximum pricing than AB.
ON has a power grid that powers more people spread out over a larger land area for less money and all at the same time producing lower emissions... Same with BC and Quebec.
Sorry but that's literally not happened. There were minor hiccups with Ford's meddling but year-over-year Alberta has steadfastly had the most expensive utility rates. No one in Ontario has utility rates exceeding the value of their mortgage. That's asinine.
Good to see that there is a competent, honest leader in Canada.

All she ever does is cry and complain about the federal government and doesn't do anything to help the Albertans who are wondering how they are going to pay their mortgages. Who wonder how they are going to pay for their power bills or put food on the table. Why should she care about that she got a nice job and she doesn't need to worry. Our tax dollars pay her salary so she doesn't need to worry about her bills. She is a politician through and through and she doesn't give a damn about you and me.

This woman is awesome, I don’t know who she is but I know I support this effort of hers against federal overreach.
She is among the brightest and most forthright woman in politics.
This is pretty great, but I do have one observation: so she says that based on the regulations that prevent them from building nuclear, hydro, and other generation facilities, that she's going to go against the regulations preventing them from building a natgas generation plant. If you're gonna break a rule, why does it have to be THAT one, instead of one of the others (i.e. nuclear)?
Probably due to the fact that they already have the infrastructure and resources to build NatGas while Nuclear and hydro takes significant investment of both infrastructure and resources. Then again I ain't a Canuk so my idea might just be pure smoke.
You're asking for logical consistency - don't be silly; this is delusional Danielle we're talking about. She's got the brain-power of a laying-hen.
Alberta = tar sands = oil and gas. But Canada's economy is totally reliant on Alberta and the wealth share is not equitable. Imagine if you stole all your neighbor's food then made fun of them for starving. That's Canada vs Alberta.
Because this isn’t about federal overreach at all. It’s about protecting companies that have invested in fossil fuels.
Your observation is absolutely valid, if she wanted to help Alberta, then she would disobey the federal government and invest in energy sources that won’t be obsolete in 10-20 years and destroy the environment in the meantime.

Not to correct your statement but the extreme left or environmental extremists are deeply rooted in Southern Ontario and Quebec. And even if Trudeau's government is voted out in the next federal election, the likelihood of another ding-bat Trudeau government being voted in again in the future is still high. 'We' in Western Canada have no voting power with the current electoral system, in our last two federal elections despite most of Western Canada voting Conservative it was still the GTA, Quebec, and Ottawa that had all the voting power. The sad thing is most Canadians just roll over and dont demand any degree of actual change.
@@bert26a --- Slump in polls for Liberal party and Trudeau. Pierre Poilievre will be the next Prime Minister of Canada IMO. Thank God, so we can get back to normal lives and live again as we did before Trudeau was selected in 2015.
Other Premiers will follow the real Canadian leader, Danielle Smith.

Anyone from BC hearing this ?
We need a leader like this. It’s up to us to stand up. For the record. I will stand up
I was born and raised in BC .. loved it. Moved to AB for 30 years, and just recently came back, now old and wise enough to see what a nightmare BC has become. The mindless bureaucracy, the Trudeau and globalist pandering, the cost of living, the lack of freedoms (being stripped with every new bill passed) is atrocious and it is destroying a once beautiful province. I'm thinking to move the hell out of here and go back to Alberta. This province sucks.
People in BC are busy with their woke BS . They dont have time for real problems
@@WaspMedia3Dnot to mention we're stuck with a premier we didn't even vote for. BC is great but the provincial govt is a circus. No idea why our options are such stinkers out here when it comes to provincial parties.
@@WaspMedia3D Born in BC, 35 years there, moved to Alberta and never looked back, one couldnt pay me enough to move back. BC does indeed suck.
Whats wrong with BC?
This is the type of leadership we need in Australia.
Be careful what you wish for.
We need anti communist and we need a constitution that allows for free speech.
and in BC...

Good luck. The flame of liberty does not burn bright in Australia. I got out in the nick of time in 2019
Bless this premier ......she is a novelty in Canada! Standing up for her province and it's citizens! Good for her!
Alberta has allowed significant interference and lobbying from hydrocarbon industries to create a significant problem and believe the solution is to continue working with the same idea.
Alberta produces significantly more emissions than ON, QC and BC despite having a lower population.
If the federal mandates are not meetable, work with them to alter them and create a doable plan.
Shutting down the conversation is insanity by definition.
Solar is already a higher ROI for energy production. It’s fiscally and environmentally irresponsible to continue with natural gas or coal.
To those thinking that upgrading the grid will result in higher costs, consider that AB has had energy rates between 16.7cents/kwh and 32.4 cents/kwh.
In ontario, there are different pricing models that people can choose from and all of them are lower than the ranges alberta has had the entire year. worst case scenario, ON has a peak at 28.2 cents but the important part is that this is during on-peak hours where effective charging is much lower and can go as low as 2.8 cents.
ON has lower price minimums and maximums while having a cleaner grid servicing more people over a larger land area.
Great job Alberta we are fighting our own fight here in America GOD BLESS YOU ALL
Thanks Charles for your support
Thanks friend. God bless America.
As a New Jerseyan who lives under a state Governor and legislature who mindlessly drive on with their green energy fantasies regardless of the economic cost to the average person, I applaud the leaders of Alberta who are drawing a line in the sand and saying “no” to these foolish schemes.
Enjoy! So glad to be in NC!

Hey everyone. Just want to chime in and say that power bills in Alberta cost, on average, $20 more than they do in Ontario. Alberta water utility costs are on average nearly $40 cheaper.
Alberta citizens pay an average of $342 a month on utilities, including electricity, gas, water, internet, cable, and landline service.
Ontario citizens pay on average, $370 a month on utilities, all of the above included.
Tell me; how does a $20 difference in average monthly bills constitute what essentially amounts to a panic move from the Alberta government?
Well, according to people in the comments it's because people having to pay $20 more a month in utilities are being forced out of their homes because utility costs are exceeding monthly mortgage payments.
Did you know that the Ontario Society of Professional Engineers blames rising power costs in Ontario on the fact that they produce too much electricity from renewable sources? The power situation in Ontario is due to provincial mismanagement.
I personally feel that if Alberta let go of their intense reliance on fossil fuels and utilized renewable energy, AND managed it well enough to avoid the missteps that Ontario has made, they'd be well on their way to the cheapest electricity rates in the country.
Will they do that? No, probably not. The current plan is going to line not only Smith's pockets, but the pockets of all her campaign funders as well. She doesn't care about the affordability of power for the average person, because she isn't the average person. She has an income far above what the majority of us can hope to obtain; power costs don't concern her when she's the one earning money from those costs.
The whole Liberal Party can not match this lady.
That woman cares about her Country and the People. Canada truly needs more like her. Good luck Canada.
THIS is what EVERY State needs to do to fight the Federal overreach !!
Brilliant. A voice of reason, logic, truth, responsibility. Thank you.
Albertans are lucky to have this woman !
Way to go Danielle. More power to you. Wish we had a real government here in Ontario willing to lookout for their constituents.
This lady has the guts to stand up for what is right
I agree
Right for who?
For example, pausing made-in-Alberta renewables so Amazon and Tesla could get a head start on monopolizing energy in the province, who was that right for?
Do, De'Luded or what Canuck?
So many mentally ill people on here… So many suckers… It’s like Ralph Klein all over again… Just the dumbest people ever live in Alberta

Smaller grids are far more likely to fail than larger ones. This is pure fear mongering to protect her donors oil and gas profits.
In Alberta electricity costs 24.175 ¢/kWh
In other parts of Canada it's as low as 7.3 ¢/kWh.
Making a single national grid shares the load from every power producer to every home. Multiple smaller grids just makes it more unreliable and inefficient.
It's not about facts - it's all about sticking it to 'Ottawa' .......
If you’ve lived though the last 5-10 years and still don’t immediately view centralized power grabs as inherently anti-human, you’re absolutely ngmi

A Canadian Govt that actually cares about its citizens!? 😳
LOL no.
People stand to gain a lot of $$$ here.
Sure. It helps people. But Alberta didn't do shit about any of Justin Trudeau's other b.s.
Only reason she is stepping in is because she stands to make a lot of money by helping this time.
@@thisisashan What will be interesting is if Ottawa doesn't cave, then the establishment in Alberta might finally support secession as they no longer see the crony capitalism of Ottawa as appealing as the alternative.

@@TexanIndependence Greetings from the Lake Whitney/ Central Texas region. Yours is a tantalizing proposition
Likely LPG development would strengthen Alberta's provincial govt to where it can stand on its own without Ottawa. No doubt this opportunity is what motivates Premier Smith to step forward.... A union with Alberta, Saskatchewan, & B.C. could be a strong economic union, & a strong currency too. And if we could have a union from the Great Plains States all the way down to Texas, that would establish leverage & economic independence for a non-federal currency of our own. We have been overdue for a revolution for many decades now. The long reign of corruption must end. And this would do exactly that
Because justin traiter doesn't care about real canadians 😊
