Are you kidding me! She's acting like a spoiled brat who didn't get her way, and YOU are blaming the journalist? What's pathetic is you pigeons who blame Trudeau for every issue in Canada, and cheer on obstructionist CONSERVATIVE PREMIERS who get in the way of trying to fix Canada's issues! What has this woman actually accomplished since she's been put into power?? Gas and Hydro rates are through the roof in Alberta! Housing is WAAAYYYY behind! She's cut off ANY idea of green energy production! She's taxed EV drivers! She's trying to fund $20 BILLION to clean up orphaned wells! She's made a complete mess of Alberta's healthcare system......and now she's getting in the way of housing, and ANY federal funding that enters the province! She's a partisan hack, who will allow her constituents to die ONLY to get one over on the Federal Libs!

I hope he’s just imitating Vassy and playing the devil’s advocate but I would have to see him question a liberal politician before I could actually say he is.

He didn't even ask very tough questions. He didn't ask Smith about Alberta's rank as worst in Canada, tied with Ontario actually, for inequality. He didn't ask Smith about how polls show that only 35% of Conservatives strongly support reducing inequality, while 75% support reducing inequality for NDP. He didn't ask Smith about her stance on worker co-ops and unions, if she is in favour of them or more in favour of private capitalist business growth? Smith got off easy, and her supporters are praising her for it.

@@_Solaris I’m a free thinker not praising or following false prophets and politicians going the wrong direction, like Smith or PP and the Cons.

I thought so too, he did not hold her feet to the fire nearly enough

Smith is phenomenal at manipulating the public to vote her into power and being a tool for the capitalist rich class to increase their wealth off the backs of the exploited working class and the scarce resources around, like fossil fuels. Are you happy that Alberta is tied with Ontario for the worst inequality in Canada? And are you surprised that of all the party supporters, the NDP are the most supportive of reducing inequality (75%) and Conservatives are least supportive (35%)? Or are you okay with the results of predatory late stage capitalism?

Clearly you need to educate yourself. Carbon tax makes the biggest polluters have to pay for their pollution, for their carbon emissions. Evidence, from countries world wide, shows that putting a price on carbon makes companies look for ways and implement ways to decrease their carbon emissions. A reduction in emissions decreases the carbon in the air that is causing climate change.

⁠@@Liberal_From_Prairies689lmfao No the industrial carbon tax drives out business from Canada and drives up prices. The companies just raise prices to pay for their carbon taxes. 🙄

@@Liberal_From_Prairies689 LMAO. talk about a failure to comprehend science let alone reality. carbon is not pollution simple child.

Firstly the 13.5 cent/L tax is not a carbon tax, it is a provincial tax directly used to pay for road building and maintenance. It was paused by 9 cent/L while gas prices inflated and has now been brought fully back. There was NO increase or new tax in Alberta. The carbon tax does nothing for roads, or much else, of course that is the federal liberal version of a "program". The tool interviewer thinks that you should not have to pay for road maintenance if you virtue signal by buying an EV, because of, well, "free stuff for me".

He is a liberal

I strongly recommend that everyone does some basic research on how the standard 8 hour working day, employment protection rights, national retirement pension, paid sick days, long-term sickness benefit, national healthcare, paid vacation, maternity leave, etc, etc, came into being. IF you can be bothered, you will find that ALL of them were proposed and EVENTUALLY brought into being by proponents and politicians who at the time were called progressives or liberals. I emphasise EVENTUALLY, be cause ALL of them were opposed, delayed, watered down, and occasionally rowed-back, when in power, by Conservatives. You owe your relatively comfortable long lives to liberals.

@@judewarner1536Agree to a point. Liberal ideas survive longer than Liberal parties.

Wrong. Only 17% of federal government revenue comes from tax payers. The rest comes from trade agreements, imports, exports, the retail sector alone contributes almost $1T to our economy.

@@rustedandrestored Danielle Smith also clearly doesn't like the fact that cities are being given the power to accept federal money without provincial government intervention. Such as in Saskatchewan, Scott Moe and his government don't like conditions set by the federal government on the money for housing being given, such as conditions to build housing cities are lacking, so the mayor of Saskatoon has accepted the conditions and has been given tens of millions of dollars to build housing.

Indeed, Smith isn't very bright, but she is smarter than the Conservative supporters who she has convinced them she is working for them. I mean, she is working for them, if they are rich capitalists, but if they are poor or working class, she is manipulating and exploiting them.
