Smith seems to be seeking royal position
By Lethbridge Herald on May 16, 2025.
Editor,
In case there were any doubts Alberta’s Premier was a science-denying demagogue with designs on the throne of Alberta, Danielle Smith’s startling televised speech to the public buried those doubts like a tank of pumped fracking fluid. We can assume our own UCP representative, Nathan Neudorf, is firm in his backing of her quest for the Queenship, hearing no objection from that quarter. One wonders if his own hopes for royal status rise as high as Duke, or if he’ll be satisfied with becoming an Earl or merely a Baron.
Her would-be majesty ignored the urgent warnings from our scientists, even though those warnings say the continued use of fossil fuels is destroying the livable biosphere and could well mean the end of human existence. She called for expanding fossil fuel use, with no controls, impediments, taxes or regulations. A cynic would check her investment portfolio.
Any hint of inconveniencing oil and gas companies would have to be met with, sorry, a referendum to leave Canada by her loyal subjects. In exchange they will get trillions and trillions of dollars. Even First Nations would get something, she promised, but only billions. Once we separate, we would naturally need a leader with a certain [ahem] royal presence.
No, dear minion, there’s no need to bow. Not yet.

Fun to watch the NDP supporters switching sides from LIberal to Orange, oops, can I say that?? Orange man bad. Get a life Tom.
If anybody needs to get a life, buck, it’s you. You live on this herald site as a troll.
Tom all your “fluff” (BS).
By the way, has anyone heard anything what so ever from our Lethbridge West MLA, Rob Miyashiro other than him plastering his name on the sign to his supposed opened MLA office on 9th Street South!
Deflect away Harold.. keep being that lemming… eventually you’ll fall off the cliff
Or really Lump, the facts hurt huh?
Hardly, if anybody is butthurt it’s you!
The hypocrisy of you talking about “facts” , when all that issues from your oral cavity is misinformed “information” trolled from the depths of the dark web. A modern day but old fashioned preacher man, screaming from the pulpit with self righteous indignation.
Can you picture these guys as her ministers in the State of Alberta?

Living in one of the best countries in the world is no good for our Premier. Such is the corrupting influence of power, some become addicted to it and must always seek more.
Have you checked the world ratings/standing of Canada lately? Yes, we used to rank # 1 …. Not now after 10 years of Liberal government, also our standing in the G-7 has fallen.
A typical cherry picked reply. If he had bothered , HP would or should have known that Canada consistently is in the highest percentile for civil liberties , LGBTQ rights and tertiary education to name three. Choosing to ignore such positive ratings to somehow concoct an anti Liberal narrative is stupid, but oh so very predictable.
US News and Best Country Report currently rates Canada #4 – admittedly down from #1 four years ago. And who was governing then? Take a minute HP and think deeply!
Smith is very afraid. 60% of her caucus are cabinet ministers.Nice pensions.Bribery at its best. https://albertapolitics.ca/2025/05/when-the-dust-settles-from-danielle-smiths-cabinet-shuffle-60-of-her-caucus-will-be-ministers/

CBC news- LOL LOL LOL – Trust the NDP to believe what the CBC says. They are only second to the BBC in unprofessional journalism and biased reporting, supporting the terrorists like Hamas and Hezbollah with such reports and failing to follow the very basics of ethical reporting!
I have some beach front property for sale just for you!
Since when has the CBC or BBC supported terrorists “like Hamas” or “Hezbollah”? I suppose “Rebel News or “Info Wars” is your ethical, unbiased source of news?
