I’m an Albertan. And I absolutely love this province. We have the prairies, the mountains, hard working people, so many opportunities and one of, if not the best, Premiers in the country. I wouldn’t want to live elsewhere. Telling me that I despise Trudeau simply because I support Smith and live in Alberta is asinine - there are people all across Canada who despise him just as much as I do (often more so). Because you don’t have to live in Alberta to understand that Trudeau is doing everything in his power to destroy Canada. You don’t have to live in Canada to understand that. You just have to be paying attention. And there are people all across Canada who support Danielle Smith - because not only does she care about Alberta, she cares about this country. So telling me that I don’t support Trudeau because I’m a Smith supporting Albertan isn’t the “gotcha” moment you might think it is. And it never will be. Because • we’re not uneducated. • we’re not rednecks. • we’re not homophobic. • we’re not transphobic. • we’re not bigots. • we’re not far right. • we’re not extremists. We’re none of those things. We’ve just had enough. And I’m not the only Albertan or Canadian who feels this way. Furthermore, Trudeau has made it clear that he stands with people who are harming children and has no respect for women or the actual LGB&T communities. Smith is fighting to protect children from people like Trudeau - people who would sooner sentence a child to life long medicalization than address the underlying mental health issues of children and/or their past traumas, people who believe replacing women with men isn’t an issue, and people who have yet to realize that there’s a difference between the LGB&T communities and the alphabet mafia. Smith is a leader. Trudeau is a disgrace. So I know where I stand. I know who I stand with. And I don’t see that changing.
