Seems criminal for GoA to lie about these wt times. People make life and death decisions based on them and find out they are not even close to being right!
We can waste a fortune pandering to a separtist minority but can't afford to look after the health of the majority.

3:40 AM.
I turn to my phone on the nightstand and confirm the time. I already know Iβm not going back to sleep.
Not after another reckless act from a Premier who, by every measurable standard, appears completely off the rails.
So Danielle Smith can take comfort in one thing: she got through to us. Loud and clear.
Albertans understand now that something is deeply wrong.
Whether she is compromised by foreign interests, political extremists inside her own party, or simply by the pursuit of power itself almost no longer matters. The result is the same: a government willing to risk Alberta, risk Canada, and risk social stability to preserve political control.
And the hardest part is this: it feels abusive.
The endless pushing.
The endless escalation.
The endless chaos.
Albertans are exhausted.
We donβt need months of anxiety hanging over our heads because of some reckless October 19 referendum fantasy.
We do not need our province turned into a political powder keg while healthcare deteriorates, education suffers, corruption allegations pile up, and long-term economic planning is nowhere to be found.
This is not leadership.
Leadership lowers temperatures.
Leadership negotiates.
Leadership builds confidence.
Leadership protects institutions.
Instead, we see attacks on courts, attacks on vulnerable communities, attacks on public trust, and constant deflection from accountability.
And for what?
To distract from failures in governance?
To avoid scrutiny over corruption scandals?
To feed a movement built on grievance, anger, and permanent outrage?
Iβm tired of short-term politics masquerading as vision.
I want a government thinking 25 and 50 years ahead.
I want honest stewardship of Albertaβs future.
I want competence, professionalism, and stability.
Most Albertans are not looking for revolution.
We are looking for adults in the room.
Iβm a patriot. I will vote to stay.
And I believe millions of Canadians will stand with those of us who want no part of reckless separatist agendas or imported political extremism.
This province deserves better than permanent chaos.
It deserves leadership.

I for one wholeheartedly trust our Cherokee premier, whoβs family fled communism before communism, so that one day she could tell us smoking is good for you, before fixing health care in 90 days.

Danielle Smith needs to explain to all Albertans why the Provincial Government using our tax dollars would appeal a court decision about a petition organized by a private citizen initiative.
Unless she is taking ownership of the separatist movement.

Dear Fellow Albertans,
This letter is written not as a partisan, but as an emergency physician who has cared for more than 100,000 Albertans, a former MLA, and someone who has devoted a working life to this province.
Across Alberta, the strain is obvious. Housing is scarce. Emergency rooms are overcrowded. Schools are stretched. The cost of living weighs heavily on families. Anxiety about the future is real and justified. This is not anger. It is concern, because moments like this demand leadership.
When people are under pressure, leadership is not just about solutions, but about direction: an honest explanation of what is actually going wrong, and reassurance about who we are as a society while we fix it.
In recent weeks, Albertaβs challenges have been framed by the Premier, Danielle Smith, in a way that has left many people angry, not at systems or long-standing policy failures, but at immigrants and other governments. That is deeply troubling.
The frustration people feel is understandable. But much of that anger is being misdirected at immigrants. With the exception of Indigenous peoples, all Albertans come from families that arrived here seeking opportunity.
Immigrants did not break Albertaβs healthcare system or tear up family doctor contracts. They did not close hospital beds or cancel planned hospital capacity. They did not under build housing, assisted living, long-term care, or schools. They did not dismantle community care. Politicians did.
Every day in emergency departments, the consequences are visible: acute-care beds occupied by patients who should be at home or in long-term care; ERs functioning as inpatient wards; and population growth encouraged without matching investments in primary care, continuing care, and hospital capacity.
In 1992, Alberta had approximately 11,700 hospital beds. Today, with nearly double the population and a much older demographic, we have roughly 8,800. This is not an Ottawa or immigration problem. It is a planning and capacity problem.
Many of the people caring for seniors, staffing hospitals, and holding the healthcare system together today are newcomers themselves. Blaming them delays real solutions and divides communities.
That lesson is personal. Growing up as a newcomer involved violence, black eyes and broken bones, and learning early what happens when fear is tolerated and adults look away. Home was not always safe either, shaped by alcoholism and domestic violence. Those experiences leave marks.
What mattered most was a mother who taught that anger shrinks a life, while forgiveness, discipline, and service strengthen it, and that opportunity carries an obligation to give back. That belief led to decades in emergency medicine, the training of thousands of doctors, and public service at personal cost.
Those experiences lead to a clear conclusion. Albertans deserve leadership that lowers the temperature, not raises it. Leadership that fixes systems, not finds scapegoats. Leadership that takes responsibility for planning failures and invests in capacity to match growth.
For these reasons, Alberta needs a change in direction and ultimately, a change in leadership, so the province can unite around practical fixes rather than division.
This is not about racism. It is about judgment, competence, and the ability to govern responsibly during difficult times. Alberta needs leadership that brings people together and focuses on solutions, not blame.
Premiers Lougheed, Klein and Stelmach have led through very difficult times and would not take our province to this sharp edge.
Albertans are much better than this.
I am a Canadian, an Albertan and I am an immigrant.
God bless Alberta.

Danielle Smith is a separatist. Thereβs no doubt now.
Feb 1
Danielle Smith booted 2 MLAs from her caucus - one who didn't support her budget and one who wanted a probe into alleged ethical lapses.
Yet she won't "police" whether or not her MLAs want to break up Canada? It's a little odd that she's chosen to be indifferent on this.

Danielle Smith is positively insane.

βA key figure in Albertaβs separatist movement said Premier Danielle Smith indicated to him that if the province goes it alone sheβd stay on as its leader. And the title sheβd prefer in the role is prime minister.β

A good time to remind Alberta that Danielle Smithβs renewable energy ban KILLED 118 new energy projects
She blocked:
- $33,000,000,000 in new investment
- 24,000 jobs
- $263M in local taxes/land leases
Danielleβs FAKE conservatism created REAL economic damage!

Cheap enough that your provincial government can snuff them out of existence in a legislative action taking less than 24 hours, leaving you no legal recourse."
