Danielle Smith: “You don’t just cut a cheque to Ontario, who clearly doesn’t need it. They’re a powerful economy, they shouldn’t be…”

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.

Voting yes to questions one through nine is how we send a message to Ottawa that provinces need more autonomy and respect if Canada is going to be stronger and unified.

Canada can still work. We just need to make some changes.

That's why I'll be campaigning hard to try to convince Albertans of my position, which is to remain.
