The majority of Albertans aren’t separatists — with one recent poll indicating 67 per cent disagree with the statement “Alberta would be better off if it separated from Canada.”

But Smith is not worried about the majority. She is worried about the 30 per cent who agreed with the statement and especially the 18 per cent who voted for the Republican Party on Monday. This is Smith’s Conservative base, including the people Jason Kenney called the “lunatics” who helped topple him from the premier’s throne in 2022 and replace him with Smith.

Alberta has a little over 2 years to wait before they can oust this traitor.
