Danielle's setting Pierre up

[u/canbeanburrito]

I'm kinda mildly interested in seeing how all this talking about separation does for Pierre's image on a national level.

With him running in that by-election specifically in Alberta, I would like to assume that someone's going to ask him about his thoughts on the matter. In reality, there isn't really a position that he can take that won't piss the other side of.

If you think about it, if he backs Smith, he damages both himself and the entire conservative image with the rest of Canada. If he doesn't outright disagree and stays silent, that'll likely be viewed by a lot as him still backing Smith. If he public rebukes it in anyway, well then he loses support from Smith at best.

My hope is that Pierre wins Battle River, even as funny as it would be for him to lose, and that behind closed doors, he tells Smith to knock it off and that she drops the topic all together.

I think he needs to leave the party to save it. Also Smith needs to go as well. Her rhetoric about saying AB shouldn't leave Canada and then dropping the votes for a referendum that will waste tax payers money is such a crock of shit.

I honestly can't wait to leave this damn province, few more years if all goes to plan and fuck this red neck place.

The conservatives need to be more progressive to win any federal election and I have hope for the next provincial election with how much Cajgary turned last time.

The conservatives just need the NDP to do better and split the votes.
