She warns that leaving Canada would trigger economic chaos akin to Brexit, while highlighting recent federal cooperation and Western Canada’s potential to become a global economic powerhouse. Smith also voiced concerns about internal party fractures and separatist momentum weakening their electoral chances. In a recent meeting with Western premiers, they united on urging Ottawa to invest in defense and aerospace — a move that also signals Canada’s reliability to the U.S. When a listener suggested merging Alberta and Saskatchewan, Smith found the idea historically intriguing — and joked Saskatchewan might be too successful to join. Her message? Strengthen collaboration, build strategic infrastructure, and thrive together within Canada’s framework. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
