Danielle Smith’s walk has not matched her talk as Alberta’s premier
“Albertans have had just about enough of this!” Alberta Premier Danielle Smith told Jordan Peterson near the start of an hour-and-a-half-long interview posted online two weeks ago.
“The past seven years have been a catastrophe in our relationship with the federal government, and as a result, we have to take some dramatic steps in order to save Confederation, to get the country working as it was originally intended to work,” she says. Last week, Ms. Smith promised that Albertan families making less than $180,000 would receive $600 over the next six months; seniors and individuals on disability payments would also receive a similar top-up. Meanwhile, she said, the government would re-index the Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped and Persons with Developmental Disabilities, provide a six-month reprieve from the gas tax, and increase electricity rebates.
