Tonight, on The Ezra Levant Show, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith dives into a potential referendum on independence, and what that might look like should hell break loose. Recent changes to citizen initiative rules sparked a frenzy in Alberta, with two potential questions already filed.
Smith notes Canada's history of referendums and sees it as leverage in negotiations with the federal government, especially given concerning polling numbers on separatist sentiment.
The Premier expresses hope that Prime Minister Mark Carney will address Alberta's grievances regarding resource development and market access, particularly a bitumen pipeline to the B.C. coast. She advocates for nationwide support of Alberta's resource exports against B.C. Premier David Eby's pipeline opposition.
While acknowledging the Prime Minister's dialogue, she awaits the national project list to ensure it prioritizes GDP and revenue generation, not just public works.
Smith interprets recent comments like "decarbonized oil" as improved production practices, not oil elimination. Yet, she remains wary of the Prime Minister's inner circle and their plans for her province.
Smith, an advocate of resource development, links their election success to adopting Conservative energy platforms.

Fran g commented 2025-06-10 12:43:57 -0400Net zero may have been Danielles goal in 2017 but 8 years later as most of us get wisdom from new true information I believe she is well aware that carbon is not at all the problem. Carbon is one of the four most prevalent elements in the world. We need carbon for things to grow. When you have less carbon things dont grow as well. Getting rid of carbon is WEF, Bill Gates etc. goal to lessen our crops and therefore we starve. (Also of course they (oligarcs) are making billions with this bs carbon capture) It would be political suicide to bring out the carbon scam for Danielle at this point. Just my thoughts -
Murray Thrasher commented 2025-06-09 19:50:51 -0400Smith is open minded but Chilly Con Carney is stagnating our economy. We need to increase our GDP because of Liberal spending which will be 2 trillion in four years and our GDP is 2.2 trillion at the moment. No revenue and dumping this on the taxpayer will destroy Canada which is what Trudeau has done. Is Carney going to do the same? Canada for Sale at that moment in time. Hello, USA!

Robert Pariseau commented 2025-06-06 21:43:27 -0400If she keeps the referendum question down to 13 simple unconditional words, she will have this.
Quebec did this twice, but with more than 40 words in 1995 and more than 100 words in 1980. They were worried that the idea would be rejected (which it was, but only because they chose that very tack). -
Ron Voss commented 2025-06-06 21:33:24 -0400If she cares about “global emissions” then she’s a globalist like Carney. During the leadership campaign in July 2017, she said, “I remember getting hit by
Graham Thomson years ago in 2012 when I talked about the science wasn’t settled on climate change. I can tell you I have come around full circle on that. I am now probably the first and early adopter of thinking that we can hit a net zero target, and we can get there faster than anywhere else." -
Ron Voss commented 2025-06-06 21:29:36 -0400Smith’s so-called “grand bargain” is a Faustian bargain. She buys into this whole nonsense about “decarbonized oil and gas”.

Bruce Atchison commented 2025-06-06 20:43:46 -0400I’m so glad Danielle Smith has become such a great premiere. She’s made up for her lying and defecting of 2014. I hope she never forgets that she works for us. And I hope she doesn’t trust Carney to do the right thing. That “or else” is so important in negotiations.
