No kidding the separatists want her to step down.

Lmao the tiny minority of Albertans who want to separate are now making more demands. Almost as if you can't give fringe groups an inch or they'll ask for a mile.
That said, Alberta can do much better than Smith for a Premier.
25% of a population isn't a "tiny Minority".
Agree with the rest of your comment.
25% is a "tiny minority" when the question voted on was "yes or no" statistically. It would appear even smaller when it was reported that if it had been a binding the "yes" vote to leave would have been closer to 10%. However I see your point and I am just happy that the voters of Alberta didn't go down the asinine path of separatism.
Oh, the number I was thinking of was 7% of the total voting poluace. I think I heard it on a Fifth Estate bit about the Alberta seperarist movement. I didn't realize the referendum "Leave" numbers were that high...
Get bent, Danielle! I can’t wait for these separatist fucks to form their own party and rid Alberta of UCP once and for all.
Isn't her name Marlaina? She rejects the notion of Preferred Names and I heard that was her birth name.
aaaahahahahahha, there's no way alberta doesn't continue voting in conservative shits.
Like the PQ got fucked in their separatist attempt decades ago. They still in power, still talking separation, and still telling Canada to get fucked every chance they get. And the people keep electing them.
It'll be the same in Alberta. Maybe we'll see a federal party that's a provincial voting block, similar to the PQ, spring up in the west in the semi near future.

You mean like the reform party but more spicy?
UCP is just rebranded Wild Rose. These right wingers are like cockroaches, they can never be fully killed off.
25% is way higher than I expected though. And she voted to stay right? Wasn't this whole thing her doing? I'm so confused. Anyway, it doesn't make me happy that she might get kicked out because thay just means they'll find someone more effective... Fuck these people so hard.
Cons don't resign after they fuck up anymore.
I'm no fan of Danielle Smith, but was this really a defeat for her? She hedged her position on separatism all the way along until eventually settling on the winning side before the vote. Meanwhile, although the separation question got all the media attention, she has won on most of the other questions she asked in the referendum.
And she still won on all the racist dogwhistle questions that were part of the referendum.
eventually settling on the winning side
Hardly... but I don't see why picking a side on anything in the referendum mattered. The referendum was to see what Albertans wanted and they told her.
People kept making it sound like there was any question whatsoever to the outcome here.
Before question 10 was even added, I received TWO polling calls on rough versions of the questions, including question 10. Polling on Q10 specifically was consistent after it was officially added, and those results were public. Sensationalist media reporting making it sound conceivable as an outcome was completely self serving click bait.
The answer was in plain sight before it was even added.
It was a stunt. She didn't have to wait to see which was the wind was blowing, she knew how it would land before the question was even asked.
She didn't count on the depth of the stupidity of her useful idiots. She stoked a fire she expected them to applaud her for tending, regardless of the result. She's learning the lesson that if you fire up irrationality, they're loyal to the irrationality, not to you.
She should have been recalled after she tried to meet with Trump at his inauguration. Her goal was always to be Governor of Alberta.
She should resign. Why was a Provincial Canadian leader meeting with a Federal american leader anyways? That in itself should be enough to cause her to resign, if she had any shame that is. Shame is a rare commodity nowadays.
Aren't we supposed to hang traitors?
