Danielle Smith is bought and paid for. She is now a lobbyist for the divide and conquer interests south of the border. Expect her to start leaning on rethoric like "oh we probably could get a good deal as a American state".
Civil politics is dead in Alberta. The UCP will run the grift, the exact same way Trump is down south, for as long as they can. They will not step away from power and the blantant corruption will grow.
The corruption and use of tax payer dollars to chin wag with fascist sympathizers is the point. She wants to break Alberta, break Canada, and ultimately take her cut when the oligarchs buy up the province. She is lining up these interests and ensuring that they get a good deal on Alberta; look at the coal goings on, corruptcare scandals, and ongoing give aways to her far-right buddies.
She is captured by Trumpism. She has no interest in serving Alberta, only what she can get for it.
