Alberta premier Danielle Smith will be sitting down to chat with fellow conspiracy theorist and misinformation wing nut Tucker Carlson early in 2024. Although Carlson is too extreme for Fox News, he is just the right level of extreme for the #Alberta premier--the same premier who is currently holding the rest of the country hostage with her #SovereigntyAct and proposal to strip the #CPP of more than half its value.

Here’s to hoping 2023 will leave much of this in the rear view and the path forward is more reasoned and #centrist. We have work to do so let’s have at ‘er. #GeneralElection #albertaparty2023 #centreicecanadians @Cal_Var_ABParty #RadicalCentrist

The Alberta Sovereignty Act is "an unconstitutional bit of magical thinking in which the province grants itself the power to ignore federal law whenever the fancy strikes.

...Ms. Smith’s goal: to undermine the system of shared powers in Canada’s federation, and to paint Ottawa’s constitutional place in that system as some kind of foreign insurgence."

Why investors, talent, and industries are wary of a chaotic, unstable province bent on "sovereignty."

“The Alberta Sovereignty Act is utterly repugnant to the letter and spirit of the Treaty.”

Onion Lake Cree Nation challenges Alberta Sovereignty Act in court

Onion Lake Cree Nation is taking legal action against the Danielle Smith United Conservative Party government and the Alberta Sovereignty Act. In a news conference on Dec. 19 at the River Cree Resort, Okimaw Henry Lewis announced that the Nation had filed a statement of claim in the Alberta Court of King’s Bench in Edmonton that morning. “We want to send a message to the premier and…the Alberta government that these lands are treaty lands and this law directly infringes upon our treaty number six which is why we decided to take legal action,” said Lewis.
