Jason Kenney stepped down due to numerous scandals and mishaps. The conservative party of Alberta (The UCP) then held a members only vote to elect their new fuhrer.
70k people picked her in a province of multiple million
But then we got a real election and she still won. So while the job was given to her, she technically earned being Premiere. Just shows how stupid Albertans are, to have voted in someone that was anti government, anti-mask, anti-covid and pro-plastic straws.
Upon having it explained to her that applying for asylum in the United States first requires one to register with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Smith exclaimed “But I’m white,” before demanding to speak to the concierge at Mar-A-Lago
Ultimately she’s a whore for Alberta’s oil and gas industry, and Trump is just a means to an end. She’d put out just as readily for a Japanese tentacle monster if it promised to buy oil from Alberta. So this isn’t really about Trump or the US at all.
Mmmm, not quite. Industry and good paying jobs are not worth bending the knee everytime king little hands makes a quip about whatever. It shows weakness and shows that we will do whatever it takes to appease.
It’s . . . arguable. The Alberta oil and gas industry doesn’t really benefit “all Canadians”, just the ones working in that industry, and most of us who whose paychecks don’t depend on Alberta oil think the environmental oversight needs to be tightened up. In terms of advocating for the short-term interests of the subset of Albertans that elected her, Smith could be said to be doing her job. Problem is, she’s doing so in a manner that goes against the long-term interests of everyone in the country, including the people that elected her.
Dude, you are not making any sense. Are you from Alberta?
She was elected to represents interests of Albertants, and this is what she is trying to do, as she understands it. It is up to the Alberta’s voters to judge her next election, not some internet randos.
You know the funny thing here? I’ve had this conversation with a few fellow Albertans about easterners not caring about Alberta’s problems. They can never seem to wrap their heads around the rest of Canada quite literally not giving a a shit about the oil and gas industry. When I ask them what there thoughts are on the fisheries in there maritimes, or the auto industry in the GTA or bombardier cutting employees in Quebec they answer they don’t care.
And yet…they don’t see the hypocrisy. Always amazes me.

Welp, I definitely ate the Onion with this one. Reality is so fucking bonkers at this point that it’s hard to tell what’s satire and what isn’t.
FFS, for a a good minute they actually had me!
Its so hard to discern reality from fiction these days, am I having some psychosis or schizophrenia, and the real world hasn’t gone insane?
I know people should know better but there should be a rule (or a bot that enforces this) about adding [SATIRE] before these kinds of posts
It shows the URL, which is clearly a satire based website.
I’m sure she’d feel right at home in Florida.
In the “Beaverton headlines I wish were real” category, I present the January 2025 winner.
I can’t believe we voted her in. I mean I can because Albertans are gullible morons, but I can’t believe it got this bad.
She wasn’t ‘voted in’ in the traditional sense…

I’d be offended if you weren’t 100% correct

There was an election since the last UCP leadership race which they won.

Just checking you’re aware the article is satire.
Is it though?
You can tell its satire because it sounds less insane than any of the real things Smith says or does on a daily basis.
I’d argue that even knowing the article is satire, their comment stands.
Oh I know.
Traitorous POS.
How can any self respecting peasant vote for this regime whore…
This Idiot can’t figure which regime she is legally obligated to whore for.
How did she get elected into Canadian public office but be so willing to suck daddy Sam’s dick so eagerly.
From America this looks pathetic, tell daddy Sam to get fucked. American pedons need another state.
Seeing some elements of the right entertaining these brain dead talking points is concerning though.
They don’t see how this is exactly what Putin does and even entertaining them gives Russia credibility.
The Beaverton is a satire website. This is not reality.
Except it’s not satire. She really is a traitorous POS.
Didnt she break with federal government after their counter tariff initiative after Trump suggested turning Canada into American state?
Then went to mar a lago to kiss daddy’s ring?
What am I missing here?

Well as long as all Canadians benefit from “Alberta’s oil and gas industry” than I guess she is doing her job as elected?
Mmmm, not quite. Industry and good paying jobs are not worth bending the knee everytime king little hands makes a quip about whatever. It shows weakness and shows that we will do whatever it takes to appease.

Sounds like a lot of Albertans aren’t true Canadians and need to leave.
Don’t be surprised if they eventually do
Won’t be surprised and won’t care. Good riddance.

Canadians find this as acceptable behavior?
They most certainly do not. Only treacherous pieces of shit kiss the orange anus.
