Alberta, Canada – Albertans hitched their wagon to liberty and a free market economy on Monday night, electing Danielle Smith and the United Conservative Party to a strong majority government.
The establishment media said it was Rachel Notley’s election to lose, that it would be a close race.
The establishment media and their political pundits grossly underestimated Danielle Smith’s ability and tenacity, and they underestimated Albertans’ love for freedom and democracy.
“We faced the most expensive, fierce and coordinated opposition and third-party political campaign in provincial history,” Premier Smith said to a raucous crowd.[i]
“Despite it all, today Albertans chose to move our province forward by re-electing a strong, stable United Conservative majority government.”
The great strides made to protect our heritage and way of life before the provincial election will continue, and Alberta will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Saskatchewan on that front.
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe reiterated the importance of working together to halt the damaging policies of Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government.
Congratulations to Premier @ABDanielleSmith and the @Alberta_UCP on their majority win this evening.
I look forward to the continued cooperation and collaboration between our two provinces as we address the challenges facing western Canada and build a prosperous future for…

Danielle Smith also put Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government on notice.
“We need to come together no matter how we voted to stand shoulder to shoulder against soon-to-be-announced Ottawa policies that would significantly harm our provincial economy.”
“Justin Trudeau is planning on bringing forward new restrictions on electricity generation from natural gas that will not only massively increase your power bills but will also endanger the integrity and reliability of our entire power grid, which we rely on during our cold and dark Alberta winters.”
“In addition, the Prime Minister is ready to introduce a de facto production cap on our oil and gas sector that, if implemented, will result in tens of thousands of jobs lost, tens of billions in lost investment, damage to our province’s fiscal position and bring economic hardship to Albertans.”
“Now, I’ve made myself clear on this matter to the Prime Minister in person and in public,” Smith said, “but I feel we need to do it again.”
“It takes two parties, acting in good faith, to build that meaningful partnership. Alberta is willing to be that partner, and we need our federal government to show it is willing to partner in good faith as well.”
Ottawa is seldom a good-faith partner, as gun owners know all too well. We hope Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government will see the light, but experience tells us a very different story.
Trudeau is prone to dictatorial edicts to protect him and his cronies. He’s yet to prove he can be a good-faith partner with provinces for the benefit of all Canadians.
“We. Are. Waiting,” Premier Smith said.
Yes, but we won’t hold our breath waiting for this federal government to act in good faith.
The best defense is a good offense, so we’re grateful to see Premier Danielle Smith and her United Conservative Party defending our constitutional rights, our Charter-guaranteed freedoms, our cultural heritage, and our way of life.
Congratulations, Premier Smith! We look forward to your next steps forward for all Albertans and for the benefit of all Canadians.

Good on Alberta and Saskatchewan. Maybe the right minded Canadians have finally had enough of the jackboots on the back of their necks. Interestingly, when soyboy Justine’s father Pierre was the PM, he caused so much unrest and angst, that the 4 western provinces were seriously exploring seceding from Canada. Yet, they still elected his son, who’s even worse that his father.
Overheard a person talking in the checkout line about “Canadian or American” when asking his wife about how much money they had with them. The accent was definitely Canadian (I grew up 7 miles away from the border..) and I made a comment about packing around some Canadian bills in my wallet for the last 3 years that I hadn’t been able to get back up to spend because of the COVID BS. I then commented on the Trudope running the country into the ground. His answer was “I don’t think he’s going to make re-election.” I replied that I… Read more »
“We hope Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government will see the light, but experience tells us a very different story.”
The devil will only see the light when he is tossed into the fIames of heII, same for Trudeau and his kind, including American IiberaIs/marxist-socialist/Dems.
Just as in the USA, the initial concept of the government serving the people has flipped to the people serving the government!
The list has the Conservative party starting date as 2003. Unless there’s been some change, that party has been around since before I was born seven decades ago. John Diefenbacker, a staunch conservative, of the same named party, was Canada’s PM from 1957-1963. He was a good conservative PM, but had a strained relationship with JFK, probably because he resisted putting defensive nuclear missiles on Canadian soil. A really bad decision he made was canceling the Avro Arrow Project( a fighter jet far advanced from anything else in the world) for resentment reasons, because it was an opposition party(Liberal Party)… Read more »
That’s because Canada uses the proportional representation system of apportioning seats in the parliament. Fortunately, a party must meet a minimum threshold of (if I’m not mistaken) 6% of the total votes before a party can be seated. Lesser vote thresholds allow a gaggle of competing parties to vie for power, making the cobbling of a ruling coalition more difficult. Canadians seem happy with this system.
their system is so convoluted that it keeps people in government that are there for power not to help the people
I think it is a good idea for Americans to support these Canadastan freedom fighters. What happens in Canada works its way south. I’m not sure how to support them other than cash, and at my house cash is in shorter supply than before. Good luck Canada, I hope you’re successful kicking Fidel Trudeau to the curb and down into the storm drain where he and his radical ideas belong.
Western Canada(flyover country) has always been more conservative than the east, where the high population centers control the politics, just like here.
Not much, but them knowing they have support helps strength their resolve.
“their system is so convoluted that it keeps people in government that are there for power not to help the people”
OUR system is so convoluted that it keeps people in government that are there for power not to help the people.
“Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely!”
British politician Lord Acton – 1887
We here in Ontario could use Danielle Smith as Disappointing Doug Ford & the Ontario PC’s have *jumped-the-shark*, & succumbed to O’Sullivan’s Law.
Foolish Ford has continued to abandon conservative principles: more corporate subsidies, more egregious laws to live by ( Re-opening Ontario Act) political party voter subsidies, supporting STUPID ndp party policies…..its an endless list of atrocities!
Help!
