Just watched The Numbers broadcast on YouTube. Apparently DS’s approval rating is declining a bit but still at 46% so Philippe said he would not be surprised if there was an early election in Alberta. I’m on the fence but I don’t think the chances are zero.

Working in the semi-political sphere, I think that another snap election would literally kill me.

The famously impartial Calgary Herald predicts a snap election would resolve favorably for the UCP. https://calgaryherald.com/opinion/c...erta-snap-election-tempting-for-premier-smith

"There’s a fine line for the premier between standing up for Alberta and giving outright backing for a push to leave Canada. The first is a winning electoral strategy; the second could spell the demise of Smith’s political career. Heck, even before the public got to vote on separation, the not-really-so-united Conservative party would probably split apart if the premier publicly urged a yes vote.

A snap fall election dodges that bullet. Or at least delays it. Smith can ask for a strong mandate to make one final push to convince Ottawa that our province needs support and respect."
 
So it seems the argument for a snap election is that things will only get worse for Smith and the UCP. This may well be true if Albertans are tiring of Smiths divisiveness and pandering to separatists.

However, I suspect they are are too arrogant and overconfident to realize what may happen at the point and are hopeful they can turn it around. If not, I suspect the UCP will do what they did last time and change leaders before the next election, put on a big under new management sign and pretend all the problems over the last few years were caused by someone else and had nothing to do with them. Heck, it worked last time.
 
Of course Smitty is “saddended” to hear about this guy…..how about keeping your own house in order before you lament the death of a fellow Conservative MAGA extremist? !

Did she make a similar statement about the shooting of Melissa Hortman? Or was she silent on that one?

I am a bit surprised about her quick comment about something that happened outside of Canada. I wonder if Kirk was one of the people Smith met personally one her several trips to the US or he was just similar to some that she did meet.
 
That’s how that Thirsty C*@t face of a Premier rolls. If I were her I’d be sending my final love letters to Shapiro as well….
