Make no mistake, Danielle Smith’s end goal is sovereignty
By Lethbridge Herald on October 18, 2025.
Editor,
I have been a fan of the popular reality show “Survivor” for many years. The participants are encouraged to “outwit, outlast and outplay” their opponents to win the million dollars.
I can’t help thinking that Premier Smith is using the this same strategy in governing Alberta. She wants to outwit Albertans with her Alberta Next meetings, saying that an Alberta Pension Plan is better for everyone, which is conjecture at best. An Alberta Police Force will better serve Albertans, but at what cost?
And let’s not forget her stance on separation; “a sovereign Alberta in a united Canada”! She wants to outlast the NDPs and bow down to the Take Back Alberta coalition to keep her job.
And lastly, to outplay the current federal government with her hypothetical statements that the federal Liberals are bad people and picking on Alberta.
She continues to reference Quebec when speaking of the unfairness to Alberta but Quebec is in the east and they have MPs from Quebec in the Liberal government.
It’s like that old adage, “if you can’t beat them, join them.” We, in Alberta just haven’t figured that out like Quebec has. Smith would like to control the federal government’s parks in Alberta and collect the federal taxes as well as asking the feds to check with her before offering support to Albertans, such as the Federal Dental Plan.
The end goal is sovereignty! I think we need to vote her off at our next tribal council!

Your comment on Quebec is laughable. Of course they want to stay in Canada. Who would want to give up the $20billion we send them every year?
So, in your opinion, we should just play nice because Quebec likes our money. Well I suggest we keep our money here in Alberta.
She is more dangerous than she appears.
