The connection between the UCP and the separatists is nothing new. It's been documented many times, including here. What is new is that Danielle Smith can no longer pretend it doesn't exist. The focus of the NDP is exactly where it should be regarding the leak of the Voters List- on what Smith knew and when she knew it. Why do you think she's desperately avoiding the questions and laughably trying to deflect the issue onto Neshi? If she or her officials did know about the leak weeks ago and did nothing about it in order to provide cover to the separatists it means they have deliberately compromised Albertans personal and private information for narrow political interests. That's something they'll find it hard to forgive.

With all the talk about/against Alberta separation, and focus on the players, the name consistently absent is ROB ANDERSON!! I think more investigation on what this player is about, his history with both Danielle Smith and the UCP is absolutely necessary. From my reading and information, he is at the root of UCP aspirations and has a talent for remaining in the background and manipulating everything. That nobody’s mentioning him speaks to that talent. Expose the puppeteer please Daveberta! Thank you.

And to think Jason Kenney encouraged this current state when he welcomed the separatists into the Conservative tent in 2017 in order to remove the evil Rachel Notley and the NDP, who weren't perfect, but a far more balanced, fiscally competent, and useful government than the current UCP shit show!

Here is the problem no one has an answer to:

Staying in Canada doesn’t help Alberta in the long term. Over 2/3 of the seats in parliament are concentrated in 2 provinces. It doesn’t matter which party is in control, they will cater to the needs of those 2 provinces.

In the US, the House of Representatives is similar to the House of Commons here but they have a Senate which has equal state representation.

Less populated states in the US have a political mechanism that allows them to have a negotiating position.

I am not a separatist, but I want to have a good faith discussion on the future of the country. Separating is not the answer, but staying in Canada and keeping the status quo is not working.
