Thank you for stepping up Danielle. It's not an easy thing to do. We appreciate your advocacy during the flood, and especially these past 2 years. You are a problem solver, and you do listen to people. Policy requires unity, but I've also heard you say that when new issues arise, MLAs need to be free to speak to and for their constituents. That has been missing. I will be proud to have you as our MLA, knowing that we will once again have a voice in the Legislative Assembly.
We were really hoping you to run for the UCP leadership! I’m so glad you did!
So called Jodie McKenzie to volunteer (something I don't do) but hey, it's you. No call back - what's up?
Dannielle you have my vote!
I was selling a product in a mall at Sprucegrove Alberta at Christmas. Radio was playing on overhead speaker's in mall. Around 3pm on 630 CHED Santas Anonymous Breaking news MS Smith has crossed the floor. Huh? I am not conservative. I listened to you all the time on QR77 I love talk show radio. You're awesome. Old people in alberta will never forgive you. Just the way it Is.
I appreciated your perspective on the radio and how you allowed voices on both sides of an argument to have thoughtful debate. We’ve moved so far away from critical thought that we need ensure we encourage our next generation how to think, instead of what to think. Good luck and I hope you truly do what you say in this campaign.
We deserve Danielle to take over the reigns
There is a problem with this video... Love Alberta she said? not so much because she don't care about deaf and hard of hearing. This video need C.C. for those who are deaf and hard of hearing.

What an unbelievable evening we had in Sylvan Lake yesterday! Almost 300 people showed up to hear how we can put Alberta First!
Thank you Onsy Tawadrous for inviting me into your community and hosting this event. Onsy asked community members to bring their tough questions and big concerns and they did just that!
As your premier, I want you to know that I am here to listen to you, I am here to advocate for you, and I am here to put Alberta and Albertans first.
To do that, I need your help though! Sign up at www.daniellesmith.ca and make sure to get your membership before August 12th so you can vote! ... See MoreSee Less

Thank you so much for visiting Sylvan Lake last night. A great night and a great turn out to hear how we can put Alberta first! Well done!!
I enjoyed listening to ideas. I see a brighter Alberta future under you! Great job
Nice! people are looking for strong leadership to fill the vacuum of weak leaders we had. Are so called leaders have empty words and desired narratives, filled with flip flops and lies.
You were direct and convincing. Keep it up.
Alberta need to be free of Ottawa, they don't understand our situation , so be it. Let them decide for Central Canada. Alberta need to be heard and not seen... time for a real change, a good change for our future and future generation. Right now, Justin Trudeau is only listening to the Eastern provinces, even Manitoba is more of a Liberal Province and so is B.C. Alberta has and always will be a conservative province since Peter Lougheed.
Great to see!
A well spent hour and a half. Thanks Danielle. Go get 'em. And don't forget when your speaking of the RCMP, guns and High River the the tragedy they created in N.S..
👏👏👏
OLDS TONIGHT!!!!!! Go get’em Danielle.
Thank you Danielle Smith!
What about Tamara Lich. This absolute 100% BS
You had your chance to be Premier as leader of the Wild Rose but you, and seven others got suckered into crossing the floor! You would have undoubtedly won before that.

Did you know Justin Trudeau's new internet censorship law will mean Liberal partisans can pick and choose what Albertans can say and express on the Internet?
As Premier, I will protect the right of every Albertan to express their opinion - left, right and everything in between - without fear of Ottawa's censorship.

You know they won’t be censoring the left.
I vote for No More Trudeau
Get rid of him
i posted a comment(no bad words) regarding True Dohs policies yesterday, Fais Book blocked it saying it went against their community standard, then clasified it as spam.. when I tried to dispute it they told me there are not enough reviewers because of covid, second time this has happened when mention his majesties name
Separation is the only way out of Trudeauistan! The west cannot out-vote Toronto. We cannot afford more Liberals! They need us, we don't need them.
Peaceful protesters arrested again tonight. No Alberta at the table ??? Do you have a statement
What are your thoughts on Tamara Lich being arrested again? I haven’t seen anything by you addressing this. So far only Todd Loewen & Bill Rock have addressed it
He is such a loser
Reported as hate speech
Time to subscribe to a vpn
Very sick LiTitle boys,
🐖🐖🐖💩🤮🤦♀️
Time for the west to join the U.S.
Useless moron.
Won't that be wonderful 🙄🙄

If Quebec can do it so can we!
Great panel Discussion last night. Your thought and answers are right on for us. You have 4 votes in our household. Thanks
We need a referendum on separating from Canada tabled day 1 as well. Canada is finished and there is no point going down with the ship.
Need a referendum for Independence
You have my vote if you put the sovereignty act in writing sign it and have it notarized that you will follow through. No more turn off the taps BS.
You have my vote do that please
You have my vote.
“”Olszynski said in an interview Thursday that while there are concerns and debate over how other provinces interpret or enforce federal laws, "it is unprecedented in modern Canadian history for a political movement to declare that they will ignore the courts." He added that politicians talking this way should not be tolerated.”” Hmmmm, sounds vaguely familiar. NDP - Libs. Same same
About time great first steps that can be done with out any other prov
Is this one of these promises that are easier said than done?
I want to know her views on the NWO, and WHO Danielle Smith is saying the right things, however she is not addressing what is happening right now in Canada. It makes me question, is Danielle Smith part of the NWO?
First thing that the provincial government should do is get rid of the temporary foreign workers program.
Are you going to jump ship again? You have to be trusted for who you are standing up for. I can’t trust you to represent me because next month you side with the liberals. You screwed Albertians the last time.
Anyone have a TLDR on her stand on vax passports?
What about equalization payments?
What about the federal carbon tax? We want this in writing, with hard dates and you will resign if you fail to deliver on promises🤔
Go Danielle!!
How many people participated in the fair deal panel?
So does Bill Rock..
Danielle, what are your thoughts on a Alberta pension plan?
Does the sovereignty act mean calling for a referendum?
Get us out of any pact or deal sock boy did and bring back oil full force- we pay all the deficits in record time and build all the schools, hospitals and infrastructure we need as well as rebuild the Heritage Trust Fund and get Albertan’s to enjoy our parks for free again
Rachel rejects bringing in legislation to reject federal laws that could harm Albertan’s, Rachel is all about saying yes to the turds tax increases.
What about CPP, OAS and other funds held by the Fed government?
Your words are exhausting and negative. 😕

Quebec facing billion$ in legal claims for O&G expropriation
www.westernstandard.news
Lévesque said if the expropriations are upheld by the Court, it would mean there are no property rights in Quebec and Canada.Comment on Facebook
Quebec needs to make a choice. Either be 100% Canadian or completely separate - own currency, own police, own government and let the rest of the country continue to try to resolve problems together.
Good news, we need to fight back strongly. Quebec gets a free pass on too many things. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
It’s About time! As a red seal electrician I can work across the country Except for Quebec. Yet they can work here. (wrong).
Unlikely to be successful, but fun to watch!
🙏🏽🤞🏽👍🏽
About time … Quebec needs some of its own medicine. They’ve been writing the rulebook … now we need to copy it or use it against them.
About time the companies go after loses incurred by Woke politicians and Quebec which sucks on the western fossil money teat!
they better file that suit in french, or it'll get rejected, and the number should be 100 billion. quebec has been milking/bilking ottawa for billions over the years
About time!

The government needs to make counselling affordable so everyone suffering from mental health issues can get access to what they need and for as long they need it.
The devastation of lockdowns and isolation needs to be exposed. My concern is it will be swept under the rug like everything else. This must be taken seriously.
And dr Teresa Tam just got a 22% raise. So does they tell us if you go along with the government agenda you will be protected or even rewarded ?
Thank you for this knowledge. Although I do not have children of my own, I have been worried about the kids and the schooling. Great interview! 👍 💖💖
At our daycare they had pilons around the play structure and insisted AHS said the kids were not allowed to play on it because it was "wood" and could not be sanitized. Non-sense restrictions.
Post secondary education for teachers these days is upside down. I value them 🙏🏻 but their curriculum is backwards. The homework my kids bring home is so convoluted and confusing.
Didn't Ron DeSantis, speak about holding business in Florida accountable if they tried to enforce vaccines on their employees
Wow, good on you 👏. Thank you for your work. My son appreciates it. I will start following your work and try to volunteer where I can. 💓
How about bringing back regular testing and exams. How about having high standards and expectations. Quit babying students. Make them compete with each and then the world.
I’m in Royal oak Calgary. Boys in elementary. Couldn’t even play with anyone outside their classrooms. Not even at recess.
So clearly wrong 🙄. Keep putting yourself out there Danielle. I am spreading your posts. We need you! Thanks for bringing the awareness.
Just absolutely brutal! These decisions were made by Kenney and Hinshaw? Or was Travis Toews part of this group?
I know multiple fathers/providers in redcliff/southern Alberta that took their lives with the unnecessary stress.
No proof of anything was provided by any Government or School Officials with regard to ANY measures be it Lockdowns ,
Why weren’t Alberta Students choices respected by Government, Health Professionals, and Schools Officials PRIOR?
I was at the CBE head office DT Calgary protesting the masks in sept and none of the staff showed up 😒
They have the power now and they won’t give it up. Thanks to Patriots like you 2 ladies for speaking out.
Are you aware that AHS has an independent board that is NOT required to report to the Minister of Heslth?
We need to separate from Canada! Feds want us to be locked up, loose our homes, make us go hungry. Trudeau could stop inflation if he would back off oil and gas, stop carbon tax.
The vaccine passport was purely imposed to increase vaccination rates.
I’m permanently emotionally damaged. It’s awful what they did to us and the kids.
That’s exactly what needs to happen! Our health care has been horrible for many years!
I have an Irish friend on a PR that was not able to fly home for 2 years. Unacceptable.
Cathryn is an incredible guest and advocate for children and their parents. Wow.
Should have always been a choice.
