Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is making some bold moves ahead of the election. Instead of backing Prime Minister Mark Carney’s call for unity, she’s using the election to push her own agenda. She has a long list of demands for whoever ends up in power and is giving the federal government six months to meet her demands or she’ll be pushing for a referendum. What that referendum would be about remains unclear. It could be about sovereignty, independence, or even joining the U.S., but for Smith, it’s more about the threat than the specifics at this point.
Her actions are stirring the pot, and her refusal to play nice with the federal government shows she’s ready to go to extreme lengths to get what she wants.
