Danielle Smith: “I would say you don’t go into a discussion saying you’re going to punch somebody in the nose if they don’t give you what…”

We have seen great progress lately in addressing the unfair laws and policies that have hurt Alberta.

As you know, 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 that we are voting for option one to remain in Canada.

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.

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.
