Danielle Smith: “The United States had “no excuse for their behaviour” but that she didn’t think Canada could win through “brute force.””

We don’t always agree on everything. We often disagree quite publicly on several things. But today we can all agree that, on Question 10, we are voting for Option 1: to remain in Canada.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is also voting to stay in Canada, and says recent joint deals with Ottawa — such as fast-tracking a new oil pipeline — show that a united country can get things done.

I will accept the result of this referendum.

I am going to do whatever I can to convince as many Albertans as possible that Canada can work and hopefully win them over to that view.
