The office of Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is vehemently denying accusations that she asked the U.S. to interfere in Canadian federal politics, as comments Smith made during an interview with an American news outlet earlier this month made waves this weekend.
Any suggestion that Smith asked the U.S. to interfere in Canada’s election is “offensive and false,” her press secretary, Sam Blackett, told CBC News in a statement.
“The longer this dispute goes on, politicians posture, and it seems to be benefiting the Liberals right now,” Smith told Breitbart.
“Let’s just put things on pause so we can get through an election,” she said. “Let’s have the best person at the table make the argument for how they would deal with it — and I think that’s [Conservative Leader] Pierre Poilievre.”
Isn’t she the one that immediately started using American tariffs as an excuse for pushing for more fossil and removing carbon caps etc?
This. Her priorities and values are transparent as baby oil. I’d use glass in the simile, but comparing her to anything that is neither oil nor gas would be quite a stretch.

“That didn’t happen. And if it did, it wasn’t that bad. And if it was, that’s not a big deal. And if it is, that’s not my fault. And if it was, I didn’t mean it. And if I did, you deserved it.”

“What I said is not what I meant,” is a sad and verifiable lie.
Fuck Smith and the horse she rode in on.
“Offensive and false” when we have a publicly available recording of her doing exactly that on her province’s dime while representing her province in a field she has nothing to do with. Premiers hold zero power outside of their provinces, and anything related to international relations is the responsibility of the federal government, not the provincial one.
She not only overstepped her bounds going to the US, did it on her people’s tax dollars, only to do an act of both treason and election interference on the meantime. This, along with the countless illegal and corrupt activities she’s been inacting within her own province, she should be investigated by the RCMP and CSIS and be crushed under the full weight of the book.
Just the fact that she was talking to Beitbart is interference enough.
