The math doesn't lie.
Danielle Smith spent $17 million on "Alberta is Calling" to recruit new residents. But spent $0 on the infrastructure to support them.
Now that the bills are due and the services are failing, she’s pointing the finger at the very people she invited.

Albertans: your premier is lying to you.
This week on ‘Whatever This Is’, the one word Danielle Smith is using to cover for her own budget deficit: Scapegoat.

Nice job. The coal mine settlements are a lot more than $80m. The two on which we have details (from Australian securities filings) are: Atrum $142.8 m and Montem/Evolve at $95 m for a total of $237.8 million. One other settlement still confidential and other claims pending.

“Premier Smith please justify how 2 years ago you asked Trudeau to send more immigrants and you spent tens of millions advertising around world… and now that they’ve come to Alberta and are working hard you say all the problems are their fault!” 🇨🇦

Frame smoothing on my buddy’s tv added insult to injury.
Funny that Premier Smith didn’t mention this letter she sent to PM Trudeau asking for increased immigration to Alberta OR that she didn’t mention the Alberta Is Calling campaign www.alberta.ca/system/files...
Two years ago, Premier Smith was quoted as wanting to double the Alberta population by 2050 (roughly growth of 200000 per year).
Trying to make sense of the premier’s announcements today in the context of some of the things she has trumpeted in the recent past.
In 2024, Danielle Smith wrote a letter to Justin Trudeau to complain that they didn't get *more* immigrants than their planned allotment. (She also wanted more Ukrainians specifically, and we all know why).

Edmonton: Lower taxes!
Infill (lowers costs), 🚲 lanes (reduce expensive 🚗 dependency).
Also Edmonton: No, not like that.
Edmonton: Make this city more vibrant!
Infill brings people in to shrinking nhbds, including renters, just like vibrant cities like Montreal.
Also Edmonton: No, not like that.

This can’t be repeated enough. Not only won’t they investigate, they may never even tell us who did this.
Think about the message that sends to the next ones. Nobody is safe.
Dissolve ICE. Now.
This is the best speech, just from a pure rhetoric perspective - its sophistication and persuasiveness - that I've seen a politician deliver in a good long while. Really recommend watching or reading the whole thing.
Danielle, we don’t want an Alberta police force, we want lower priced auto insurance and cheaper electricity.
I’m so bothered by the deceptive height scale!
Yes, I wasn’t clear.
The link continues to tell me it is not available. I will try a vpn.
I didn’t listen live and can’t seem to find the podcast/stream. Help?
My dad, 85 years old, suffering from the effects of a 2 year struggle with cancer, and chief of surgery at the Chinook Regional Hospital for decades, was moved from an already overcrowded space to an “overcapacity room” while he recovers from a stomach bleed and pneumonia. This is the room. 🧵🧵🧵
Danielle Smith has just increased the buy in on a citizen initiated referendum from $500 to $25,000 and massively clamped down on fundraising to do so.
