‘Cautiously optimistic’: How do rural Alberta, Edmonton, Calgary feel about Danielle Smith as premier?
“I am a proud Calgarian. I love Alberta. But above all else, I’m Canadian. Those are the relationships I would wish to see emphasized and to remain intact.“Issues around sovereignty and the relationship between Alberta and Ottawa are real issues. I think they’re important, and I think the Alberta Sovereignty Act is exactly the wrong approach.Story continues below advertisement
“We always need an advocate for Alberta in Ottawa. We do need to maintain investor certainty and the opportunities we have in front of us as a province: to be able to attract capital, attract opportunities and to make sure we continue on the path of diversification,” Yedlin said. “One of the things she mentioned quite frequently was that she understood cities weren’t getting a fair shake and perhaps we should be able to keep a greater proportion of the property tax that we collect.“That’s something I’m incredibly interested in speaking with her about.”“There’s many things that she wants to talk about. She ran on several things, and those are the conversations I hope to have.”Addressing the EMS crisis is a big issue in rural Alberta too.
“We have some critical issues that we want to bring up and are cautiously optimistic that this change will bring us forward on these issues.” “I think we have to agree to disagree. There’s a tremendous amount of experience and corporate knowledge, boots on the ground, in the folks I represent. Hopefully we’re listened to.”“She’s the leader of not only the party but the leader of the province,” McLauchlin said. “If premier-elect is successful, all of Albertans will be successful, so that’ll be our intent going forward.”Alberta’s population is estimated to be 4.54 million. Membership of the United Conservative Party is about 123,900.
