Smith needs to change policies if she wants to regain support
By Lethbridge Herald on June 7, 2025.
Editor,
Danielle Smith, I never voted for your predecessor as he was a poor choice for me as an MLA. I decided to vote for you as you presented a ray of light in the party. It did not take long for my hopes to be dashed by you and your policies.Â
You seem to be entrenched in big oils back pocket with little or no regard to our future generations. That may be due to the fact that you have no children or grandchildren of your own and cannot see what your policies are doing to destroy the environment and our children’s future. You put a moratorium on wind and solar energy exploration. An intelligent premier would understand that they can all coexist to the benefit of all Albertans.Â
A forward thinking premier would also put nuclear power in the forefront of any energy plans for Alberta. You on the other hand have no plan. Your decision to support the dismissal of an AHS whistle blower, who accused you and your govt of illegal contracts will become your downfall. The person you should have dismissed was LaGrange.Â
You are the one who stoked the fires about Alberta separating but have since said you do not support separation. Too little too late now that you have stoked those fires. When it comes to inviting far right MAGA individuals to Alberta or attending meetings with those same like minded persons, you show your true colours.Â
You will not get my vote again, unless you show me that you are deeply concerned about our children and their future environment; Start aggressively supporting nuclear, wind and solar energy; Keep your hands off our CPP and last but not least, let the federal government deal with other countries.Â

High hopes Jack, she only cares about being turfed.
As with the other recent letter today, I could not have said it better. But wait , our local preacher man, HP will have something to say, alongside Alberta’s own MAGA -like acolytes.
Since she didn’t run on any of the massive shifts in policy the UCP has championed – coal mining, CPP, dismantling AHS (plus corruption), provincial police, education reform, renewable pause, MAGA flirting, and now sovereignty – perhaps a referendum on sovereignty should be part of a provincial election – a confidence vote.
Great points. Get a load of this (no pun intended).

and, now, we learn smitty is opening the shelves to usa alcohol again…a show of good faith lol
still hoping there is a way for the orange menace to see her as grab-able?
way to support the idiot president, and way to give the finger to canada, as we deal with bad faith 50% steel and aluminum tariffs among other ongoing economic issues coming from that lout.
A recent CBC article indicates that Smith would win 61 seats if there was an election today. It would be good for Smith to basically ignore you and the other faithful naysayers (all six of them) who get their daily kicks bashing everything government in this comment section. lol. And you offer up Nenshi. Ha.
alberta is a gerrymandered province, and gerrymandering is yet another of the issues that make our system well undemocratic.
regarding the article you reference, was there a mention of the percent of popular support for the ucp? i figure a majority, but wondering how much.
Very funny. She is basically doing what you suggested – driving full throttle with her decidedly David Parker and other libertarian acolytes ignoring the concerns of a good proportion of the province’s population. To hell with the environment, the nation of Canada , social programs et al!
