As usual Smith and the UCP get their ideas from what Trump is doing in the US now, they are not even original thinkers. Just want to be MAGA.

Yes but the battle, but not the war. Also, there is no valid urgency to have this referendum immediately except maybe for Smith's electoral convenience.Smith loses this one.

Well if the war is the actual referendum vote result, she will indeed lose that, too.
In the meantime, the other question going around with the Canada Proud group will already be wrapped up (hopefully with enough votes) making this other seperatist option a mute point since you can't have two questions on the same thing.

Smith is one of those politicians who is very good at talking, but I feel not so good at listening or caring about different ideas other than hers.
I feel the Town Halls were only set up to sell her or the UCP's ideas, or just get positive feedback to justify them. So it seems to go sideways when she is challenged.
Interesting comment on the expense reports policy though. I don't really buy her story either, but they may have been getting enough heat on this to hopefully reverse it.

Judging by the clips I saw on the news there was a lot of animosity in the room from both sides. Not a good look for the UCP.

The UCP has reversed their decision to exempt the Premier and Cabinet from disclosing expenses over $100.

Probably really not a good time to have expenses go unchecked while the large provincial deficit goes up even more.
I feel Smith and the UCP's unearned reputation for financial management from when oil prices were fairly high may start to disappear very soon.

Sounds like the Thirsty B!tch is laying the ground work to not build anything for the next few years as per her “capital spending will be cut….” But she can pander to her Flat Earthers Society with more funding for the Sundre museum……of course…..gotta keep Sundre on the up and up with their cultural facilities….

The Cons always get it the wrong way round. Cut back on spending when the economy is doing well and spend when it is not. They never learn

There’s too much short-term thinking. Does the UCP still think Edmonton and Calgary are small cities of 700,000 people?

Yes they do. And both cities, especially Cowtown, prove her right every.single.time.
