Danielle Smith challenges Trudeau to call an election: Full Comment podcast

The tension between Ottawa and Alberta is rising. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently attacked Premier Danielle Smith’s plans to restrict children from medically transitioning genders. This, after his environment minister demanded the province curb its oil industry and overhaul its gas-dependent power grid. Smith joins Brian Lilley this week, and says that while she would prefer to collaborate with Trudeau, she’ll fight if necessary. Smith also tells Lilley why she thinks Trudeau has already begun campaigning for the next election by beating up on Alberta. In that case, she says to him, “let’s just do it” - challenging Trudeau to call an election where she says Canadians can decide whether they prefer federal-provincial confrontation or co-operation. (Recorded Feb. 22, 2024.)

I'm Canadian. I would ask everyone respects democracy and votes in 2025 as planned.

[@LisaMarie042]

I'm also in the Niagara region. Dictator Turdo call an election now?! 😂🤣 That's a pipe dream. He has everything he's always wanted, dictatorial powers. He ain't going anywhere til 2025 thx to ignoramus' in the GTA who didn't pay ANY attn to what the Libs promised they would do, and did. Many of us tried to warn folk, but got called names, or just ignored. Based on posts I've seen on various social media, most regret not paying attn at all and blindly voting, or not heeding the warnings of ppl like myself. Unfortunately tho, we ALL suffer thx to these ignorant folk.

If you want to leave most want to stay in canada

[@harleymann2086]

These were the numbers of people who wanted to separate in 2019. Imagine where we would be today. Separation Surveys. Percentage of Western Provinces that Want to Separate from Canada: - Alberta - 56% - Saskatchewan - 53% - British Columbia - 44% - Manitoba - 35% And these numbers do not include those people “sitting on the fence”. This does not mean they cannot change but these are die-hard separatists, as of now. This is a 5117 respondent survey and holds more weight than surveys done by marketing companies that Mainstream Media pays to interpret. Also, these numbers are consistent with how the Prairies voted in the last election. They are also following the trend shown with a previous 7000 person survey from Angus & Reid in February, 2019 - prior to the last Canadian election.
