The taxpayers pay for it, but they have no idea what she said in it. How is that legal?

[snafujunction]

Secret meeting minutes...will release their edited version in weeks to come? Albertans deserve to know NOW what the Premier is saying on behalf of Albertans. ..she is accountable even if she believes she's a queen, saviour, or whatever dellusion Danielle has going on. ..

Acting as Canada’s representative and negotiator on Alberta taxpayer’s dime and making deals on behalf of Canada without being asked to whether or not she has sleazy Kevin O’Leary with her is just wrong. She is diverting away from her scandals at home with privatized medical and the “heritage fund”

[AmperSand]

We're so happy for you - can you move there permanently?

[marcfournier]

This should be disqualifying. Albertans should beware of the UCP.

[Labeastx]

She’s doesn’t care about the rest of Alberta, just the oil sector who pays her campaign bills. Alberta beef, dairy, grain. Etc all suffer because she doesn’t stand united with Canada. Alberta is more than just oil!

[eltanko]

I don't know how ANYONE could have a "great" time with Ben Shapiro. The guy sounds like a narcissistic auctioneer.

[ThousandPounder]

Albertans are okay with this? It's insane

[clairemacdonald]

Shows plainly who she is aligned with. It appears she's very interested in protecting oil companies' profits, who also donate to her campaigns. What about the rest of Alberta AND Canada for that matter? What about farmers, educators and working class folks?

[Sn-wfgi]

Of course she did glad your ratings dropped to bottom . Your having fun on tax payer money while we struggle

[aprilgoffinet]

Im so glad that we are paying for Smith to have a great time in America. Sickening

[ignitefrominsideout]

Auditioning for governor of 51st state I’m thinking

[MichelleBrezinski]

AKA Smith got nothing out of the visit except for embarrassing Canada.

[skooliecatwilderness]

A Canadian leader going to a pro American event???? Disgusting.

[Sn-wfgi]

She makes kenny look smart im sick of conservatives

[justme]

Not streamed and edited transcript. Smells fishy to me.

[dogooder]

We have to keep these trump wannabe's out of Canadian politics. PLEASE!

[mh]

I hope smith enjoyed her trip. She will never be voted in again.

[kat]

Outrageous. Albertans need to know what she said. We paid for her trip. She’s corrupt as F.

Thank you Danielle...you made it easier for me to vote Liberal!...you are a pathetic leader!
