Danielle Smith: “No more protectionism — stop talking about it and just do it.”

I will accept the result of this referendum.

We're going to be pretty busy all through the weekend making sure we get the vote out. I think high voter turnout will really give us a good idea of how Albertans really feel and that's what we're working on.

There’s always been a place to put that vote, and it’s incumbent upon those of us in government to understand why.
