Albertans. Time to vote our interests not our grandparents’ grievance. Smith’s counting on it to manipulate us MAGA style. The world embraces #cndpoli leadership & we are enduring #MAGA-UCP bullshit.

At Alberta Next panels last year, the support for the proposal to "take more control of immigration" by withholding services was wildly popular. Up in Grande Prairie in Sept., Smith said there will be some items on which "we heard enough, we are going to move them, and we don't need a referendum."
