🇨🇦 Smith plays daycare monitor while Alberta bleeds

Danielle Smith now says working through differences with Ottawa is key to quelling separatism. Translation: beg nicely for scraps while Quebec gets cash and veto power, while the West gets carbon taxes and pipeline vetoes. Alberta sends $20 billion net to Confederation annually and gets lectured about climate virtue by a trust fund drama teacher who bankrupted the nation. Meanwhile, separatist sentiment rises because Albertans are tired of funding their own colonization.

Smith rode to power on sovereignty rhetoric but now plays controlled opposition, hoping federal crumbs will calm a province watching its wealth redistributed to buy votes in the 905 and fund mass immigration that crashes wages and housing. Ottawa doesn't negotiate with provinces that ask politely — it respects those willing to walk. Alberta independence polls above 40% for a reason, and it's not because collaboration with Laurentian elites has ever worked.
