She champions recent policy wins as tools to strengthen Alberta’s voice in Confederation, urging unity within her party to fend off an NDP surge. Smith advocates for Western Canada’s power through federal collaboration on defense and infrastructure, positioning the region as a global economic anchor. On the quirky idea of merging with Saskatchewan, she laughs off the notion—Saskatchewan’s booming economy, she notes, makes a merger unlikely—but insists interprovincial teamwork remains vital. Her message? Stay united, stay engaged, and keep Alberta’s place at the heart of Canada. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
