As this substack commenter put it:

 

Danielle Smith's 2024 letter to Trudeau: Demanded Ottawa DOUBLE Alberta's immigration spots (20k+ annually) + 10k more for Ukrainians to fix 'critical labour shortages' and grow our economy. 

2026 reality: Blames Trudeau's 'open-border disaster' for the exact influx straining services, announces Oct referendum to LIMIT immigration, restrict newcomer access to health/education/social supports. 

Set-up complete: Lobby for more when Big Oil and the Oligarchy needs workers, then scapegoat Ottawa and immigrants when the bill hits working families. UCP classic—top vs. bottom, not left vs. right. While we're divided, pockets get picked. 

Albertans: See the pattern? #AlbertaForward

That was when people could afford the scab meat they packaged.

Now she won't tell you Ottawa pays the health care costs and the ones that work pay the same taxes as everyone else.

You’re purposely misrepresenting what she was asking for then, and what her issue is now.  Do you think that your misrepresentation helps the disastrous Liberal economic record over the last 11 years?

The only divide that matters where the rubber hits the road, regardless of ideology or the day and age you're in, is between the governed and their governments.

It's always been the bottom vs the top and despite there being roughly 1300 people per each elected official (including all levels of government) in the presumably free world today there's still a 1% that commands most of the attention.

It's clear the governed doesn't stand a chance. It's been this way since the Neanderthals but ordinary human saps do take it to a new level, by picking sides or ups as the case may be.

Not misrepresenting anything.FACT : She was asking for more immigrants. Now she’s holding a referendum on curbing immigration and stirring controversy on there being more immigrants.
