What's next for Alberta as Danielle Smith holds onto power?

The results are in and the United Conservative Party will form the next provincial government again in Alberta, following Danielle Smith's election win on Monday.

"I invite all Albertans, regardless of who you supported in this election, to reach out to me with your ideas and your concerns and your questions," Smith said during her victory speech. She also added feedback gives her caucus the ability to make better decisions to support the province.

Plus, in an interview with Global News, she doubled down on her fight against the Canadian federal government, regarding Alberta's energy sector.

So, what's next for the province with Danielle Smith's victory?

You can feel how much Global journalists are still seething.

Dude says that passing legislation will be hard when they have an absolute majority.

Dude says the Province is divided when it’s less than, say, Ontario.

The divide is closer to 70-30 than 50-50.

Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on the dinner menu. Great for the wolves, sucks for the sheep.
Give me a Constitutional Republic any day.

Alberta is safe for another 4 years👍👍 congratulations Danielle Smith

[TheFarmerfitz]

She wants to work WITH Trudeau on behalf of our Providence.. Not work FOR Trudeau... I believe that is the message she is Bluntly putting out there..

[eekthecat]

If the Daniel had lost, the media would be crying for her to step down as leader .
But they never do the same with left wing parties . Weird !

Now that you have the support of Albertans let’s get you the power of Clemency so you can make good on your promises to Artur!🤣🤣

How anyone watches global news is a mystery to me

[superspeeder]

Typical Global… covers 100% of losing NDP Notley’s speech, only plays a short clip of winning UCP Smith’s speech all while pointing out every possible negative aspect of their position.

Fair much? I think your coverage of the cheese rolling contest was more complete.

Alberta Strong Alberta Free Now its time to get out own police force

[Mr.Kittles]

I hope she fixes WCB. I left Alberta’s workforce until I see that WCB has put an end to their well documented “culture of denial”.

I’ll tell you what comes, disaster, grift, poverty, propaganda, nepotism, gaslighting, chaos, …..

At 1:08 into the video it repeats three times. I think global is bugging out?

[drblitzzz]

Video editing is all messed up. Played the same clip 3 times...

Give me a public inquiry into foreign election interference with mandated federal laws governing political party activity online and count me in to cast a vote next time.

[ReaperNomad]

Amazing work Danielle, you won by an impressive margin. Keep democracy strong.

[MrBugPop]

Perhaps create a new ministry for Jennifer Johnson while your at it. Fecal Minister or Alphabet Kids Liaison. Looks like Lacombe/Ponoka residents overwhelming agree with her stand on fecal matters!

The rest of Canada waits until the first GoFundMe launches for people needing money for health care as these idiots sell off Alberta's entire medical industry for profit.

"...holds on to power"?
She won a majority mandate.
