Alberta Premier Danielle Smith would like to have a tête-à-tête with Quebec Premier François Legault about asserting their provincial sovereignty, according to a letter Smith wrote last month.
“I see an opportunity before us, as the democratically elected leaders of Alberta and Quebec, to chart a path toward a new era in Canadian federalism,” Smith said in a March 21 letter penned to her Quebec counterpart, in which she asked for a meeting.
Smith was responding to recommendations contained in a report prepared last year for the Quebec government suggesting ways that province could assert its provincial authority.
She’s trying to ride on Quebec’s coat tails into “distinct society” status using the notwithstanding clause.
She is dumb as a bag of nails if she thinks Carney will let her get anywhere near that.
Yep. Being a contrarian in the face of a resource economy changeover doesn’t make you distinct. It just makes you stubborn.
I can attest that Alberta is a distinct society. Distinctly asshole. There’s a reason she won the premiereship, and why she’s been polling above 50% since.
She represents the place.
