Danielle Smith, Premier of Alberta Lays Out Nine Demands to Prime Minister Carney...
X ^ | March 20, 2025 | Danielle Smith

Posted on 03/21/2025 3:19:47 PM PDT by hecticskeptic

At his request, I met with Prime Minister Mark Carney @MarkJCarney today. We had a very frank discussion in which I made it clear that Albertans will no longer tolerate the way we've been treated by the federal Liberals over the past 10 years.

I provided a specific list of demands the next Prime Minister, regardless of who that is, must address within the first six months of their term to avoid an unprecedented national unity crisis.

This includes:....

It would appear that after 10 years of Trudeau and in the face of the current U.S.-Canada trade 'discussions', the Premier of Alberta has had enough.... it seems that things may be about to get far more real than most Canadians realize or want.

Alberta, huh? I wondered which province was going to be first.

Maybe a good choice for state #51?

We do not want Ontario or Quebec.

As I told someone a while ago, the choice may soon to be the 51st state or being a WEF/Globalist/Chicom serf... and while Canadian folks may want to bury their head in the sand as to those alternatives, the entire issue would get forced if Alberta said “we’ve had enough”. I’ll leave it there to read between the lines on what Smith is saying...

Lotta nice people from AB that like to winter in Arizona.

Be a lot easier if there was no border for them to cross.

Saskatchewan and BC would be cool too, but a bit harder to digest.

You’re probably right. I know next to nothing about Canadia.

Here’s the list:

I provided a specific list of demands the next Prime Minister, regardless of who that is, must address within the first six months of their term to avoid an unprecedented national unity crisis.

This includes:

• Guaranteeing Alberta full access to oil and gas corridors to the north, east, and west

• Repealing Bill C-69 (aka. “no new pipelines act”)

• Lifting the tanker ban off the BC coast

• Eliminating the oil and gas emissions cap, which is a production cap

• Scrapping the so-called Clean Electricity Regulations

• Ending the prohibition on single use plastics

• Abandoning the net-zero car mandate

• Returning oversight of the industrial carbon tax to the provinces

• Halting the federal censorship of energy companies

I also made it clear that Alberta, as owner of the resource, will not accept an export tax or restriction of Alberta’s oil and gas to the United States, and that our province is no longer agreeable to subsidizing other large provinces who are fully capable of funding themselves. Lastly, I made it clear that federal mismanagement of Jasper and Banff national parks resulted in last year’s tragic wildfire in Jasper and is endangering Banff, and the situation must be rectified immediately.

With the federal election about to be called, I encourage all Albertans to get involved in what is likely one of the most pivotal and important elections in our nation’s history, and to support the party and candidates that have consistently advocated for freeing Alberta from federal overreach and the repeated economic attacks our province has faced from Ottawa over the past 10 years.

Alberta would be another Colorado, perhaps slightly left-—it looks right, but only compared to most of the rest of Canada. SK would likely be slightly left of Montana. All other provinces would be solidly Dem.

MB would be to the left of New Mexico, and for similar reasons. They presently, on the provincial level, have the healthiest NDP around.

There is no chance Carney and the Liberals would agree to that list. In fact, l’ll bet it made them cry when they read it.

What’s most interesting is Detroit is just a bridge away. Give them that city and Michigan is deep red. Since it’s deep blue they’ll be more happy being Canadians-it’s closer to being communist.
