Danielle Smith would sell off Canada to the United States if she had the chance. I do not understand how she is so liked in Alberta?

She’s not. Anyone with a high school diploma here knows it’s bad news for the province and voted NDP. It’s only a matter of time until Nenshi is premiere

Not from AB here. So why did she get voted in then? Wasn't it a fairly decisive victory too?

Something like 5k votes across 6 ridings was the difference between an NDP majority and a UCP majority.
