“Led by Premier Danielle Smith and a 15 member panel of UCP MLAs, business leaders, academics, and community representatives, this is part of a rigorous Government of Alberta consultation process.

“The goal is to shape Alberta’s future and strengthen our sovereignty within a united Canada. The panel is touring the province to hear how we can better protect ourselves from Ottawa’s attacks. A provincial referendum on some of these ideas is coming in 2026. What’s on that ballot will be informed by your feedback.

“Panelists will raise important ideas for discussion, including the Provincial Police Service, Alberta Pension Plan, tax collection changes, immigration, constitutional reform, and federal transfers and equalization.

“This is not a United Conservative Party event, but we know many of our supporters care deeply about these issues and may want to attend.”

Bwahahaha…

When you don’t know whether to laugh or cry, they say it’s better for you and your blood pressure to laugh.

Not a UCP event??? Of course not! Why would they waste their money when they can waste ours instead.

I think any vote protest is quelled by voters falling into line, unfortunately.

Ol' Smitty being the C**T that she always is......her old man is another striking facsimile of her BFF to the South - both have un-elected officials running the show......our own version of Musk....used to be anyway...

Can be used as an Epitaph on Smitty's head stone. "Here lies a woman who thought vaccines was the Devil's work but who knew she'd up dying from Not getting one!"

No wonder they want to eliminate the French component in labelling. Based on this response, they clearly haven't even mastered the English component yet.

"There is a large cost in not advertising products in 2 languages,..." WTF do they think they're saying here other than demonstrating that illiteracy to the rest of us?

It does however clearly demonstrate who should not be in charge of a police force, a pension plan, a political party, or a province.

They're saying bilingual labeling is expensive because it mandates two types of labels (I think) but distributors can just... use the bilingual label? Why would they need two?

No, they’re specifically saying “there’s a large cost in NOT advertising products in two languages…”. Which is just silly - there might be a savings in not doing something, but there isn’t a cost in not doing something. It might cost something in lost sales but that would imply it’s advantageous to advertise in both languages, not a disincentive.

As for labels, the cost of printing labels is exactly the same regardless of how many languages are included in the printing (other than the minuscule cost of some initial translation).

As I said, whoever is putting this nonsense out shouldn’t be entrusted to run a lemonade stand.

Ultimately, the buck stops with Premier Danielle Smith, whose hatred of Canada is becoming more apparent.

Speaking of which, I'm glad the Premier has been unable to produce any offspring because nepotism is running strong in her family.
