Danielle Smith spent even more of Albertans’ money on a TV address last night.
We noticed she left out a lot of things that are top priorities for us and all Albertans.
She didn't forget to thank her separatist friends, though!
NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi repeated Tuesday his accusations that Smith’s referendum machinations are just for her own self-preservation, and that the decline of public faith in Smith has buoyed his own party’s prospects for victory.
“Every time Danielle Smith is offered the choice to do what’s right for Alberta or do what’s right for Danielle Smith, she’ll pick Danielle Smith every single time,” Nenshi told reporters.

Alberta NDP retweeted
Last night, we heard a clear message from Albertans in every corner of this province: they are proud Canadians. Period.
I am proud of everyone who stood up for Canada, including all the volunteers with groups like Forever Canadian and Alberta’s Voice. But in particular, I want to thank the Indigenous people of Alberta. No one has been more hurt by the mistakes of this country, and no one has been a stronger champion of Canada. First Nations Chiefs and Councils, along with countless volunteers, have spoken up for Canada. They took the government to court, and they voted in numbers we’ve never seen before. I am deeply grateful.
I am also proud of our team: over 15,000 volunteers, many of whom were brand new to politics, knocked on over 500,000 doors. We spoke with over one million people. And we learned a lot. Yes Albertans are frustrated: they are frustrated with the cost of living, with the lack of good jobs, with the mess that the UCP has made of public health care and public education. They are frustrated with spending nearly $200 million of taxpayer money on this pointless referendum exercise. In short, they are deeply frustrated with Danielle Smith.
Premier Smith will claim victory today. She will claim she saved Canada. She will claim that she has a strong mandate to pick fights with Ottawa and newcomers now. None of this is true. Albertans know we are only in this situation because of Danielle Smith. She changed the laws three times to help the separatists, and when that didn’t work, she gave them a referendum anyway. She spent $4 million of taxpayer money -- more than ten times what anyone else did -- trying to convince voters to vote for horribly torqued questions and barely eked out a win on any question. She is now seen as the least-popular and least-trusted provincial politician in Alberta. Separatism will always be her legacy.
Meanwhile, Alberta’s New Democrats will continue the fight for a better Alberta. We will remind Albertans that they deserve better, and better is only possible with a better government.
Last night, Albertans saved Canada. Today, we begin the fight to save Alberta.

Danielle Smith and her separatist UCP party are worse for Alberta business than Trump’s tariffs.
“A new survey of provincial business owners and operators released by the group this week shows almost one in four identify the Alberta referendum and discussions about separation as creating the greatest uncertainty for their company.”
