(01:03) of Trudeau’s tenure began with an unflinching assessment of what she described as a pattern of failures that have left Canadians disillusioned and divided Justin Trudeau’s leadership was a disservice to this nation she declared during a press conference held in Edmonton for nearly a decade Canada has been LED down a path of economic instability Regional alienation and Reckless governance his resignation is not just a political moment moment it’s an indictment of his legacy Smith’s words carried a weight that was
(01:34) impossible to ignore cutting through the measured tones of other political leaders who have chosen to tread cautiously in the aftermath of Trudeau’s announcement what set Smith’s remarks apart was not just their intensity but their specificity she meticulously outlined the policies and decisions she believes have harmed Canada from the implementation of the carbon tax to Federal overreach into provincial jurisdictions under Trudeau’s leadership we saw a prime minister who was more interested in virtue signaling on the
(02:03) world stage than addressing the real everyday concerns of Canadians Smith said the carbon tax for instance was not just an economic burden it was a symbol of a government completely out of touch with the struggles of ordinary Canadians it punished hardworking people for heating their homes in the winter while doing little to achieve the lofty climate goals Trudeau so often touted Smith’s disdain for the carbon tax was a recurring theme her critique reflecting the Deep resentment many albertin feel toward a policy they view as
(02:35) disproportionately harmful to Resource Rich provinces like Alberta Justin Trudeau’s carbon tax was a direct attack on Alberta’s economy and our way of life Smith said her voice firm it was a policy designed in Ottawa imposed without consultation and carried out with complete disregard for the economic realities of our Province and yet we were expected to Bear the brunt of it while being lectured about our so-called responsibilities to the rest of the country while Smith’s focus on the carbon tax was expected her critique
(03:07) extended far beyond Alberta’s borders she accused Trudeau of fostering a culture of division within Canada pitting provinces against one another through policies she described as inequitable and heavy-handed for years Justin Trudeau has governed as though the voices of Western Canadians don’t matter as though we are a secondary concern in the grand scheme of his political ambitions Smith said but let me be clear Western Canadians are not second-class citizens we are proud resilient and essential to the future of
(03:39) this country we will no longer stand by as our voices are ignored and our contributions dismissed Smith’s remarks struck a chord with many Canadians who have grown weary of the tensions between Ottawa and the provinces her critique of Trudeau’s approach to federalism was particularly pointed as she accused him of undermining the very fabric of can his political system Justin Trudeau’s tenure was marked by a consistent disregard for the principles of federalism Smith said he centralized power in Ottawa bypassing provincial
(04:11) governments and eroding the autonomy that is fundamental to our confederation whether it was Health Care energy policy or environmental regulation his government repeatedly overstepped its bounds leaving provinces to pick up the pieces the premier’s remarks were not just a critique of Trudeau’s policies but also also of his leadership style which she described as performative and disconnected from the realities of Canadian life Justin Trudeau was more concerned with photo ops and hashtags than with governing this country Smith
(04:42) said he posed as a champion of progress but in reality he presided over a government that was mired in Scandal Rife with incompetence and incapable of addressing the issues that truly mattered to Canadians from the snc lavalin affair to the double uee charity Scandal his government’s record is one of broken trust and squandered opportunities Smith’s takedown of Trudeau also included a scathing critique of his handling of the COV id19 pandemic which she described as emblematic of his broader failures during one of the most challenging
(05:16) periods in modern history Justin Trudeau’s leadership was anything but steady Smith said his government’s response was characterized by inconsistency overreach and a lack of transparency small businesses were left to fend for themselves families were burdened with uncertainty and provinces were forced to navigate a crisis with little support from Ottawa and yet Trudeau had the audacity to lecture Canadians about unity and resilience while failing to provide either the freedom Convoy protests which dominated headlines in early 2022 were another
(05:51) focal point of Smith’s critique she accused Trudeau of exacerbating tensions rather than addressing the underlying grievances of the pro protesters the trucker protests were a moment of national reflection a chance to address the growing frustrations and divisions within our country Smith said but instead of listening Justin Trudeau chose to demonize and dismiss he froze bank accounts invoked the emergencies act and treated peaceful protesters as threats to National Security that was not leadership it was authoritarianism Smith’s remarks were
(06:25) not without controversy as critics accused her of using Trudeau’s resignation to score political points however her supporters argued that her critique was both timely and necessary providing a voice for Canadians who feel overlooked and disenfranchised social media was Ablaze with reactions to Smith’s comments with many praising her for speaking candidly about Trudeau’s Legacy Danielle Smith is saying what so many of us have been thinking for years one commenter wrote it’s about time someone had the courage
(06:55) to call out Trudeau for the damage he’s done to this country Smith critique also extended to the liberal party as a whole which she described as complicit in Trudeau’s failures Justin Trudeau may be stepping down but let’s not forget that his government’s policies were supported by a party that enabled and endorsed every move Smith said the liberal party is as much to blame for the state of our nation as Trudeau himself their priorities have consistently been out of step with the needs of Canadians and their vision for this country is one
(07:25) that I and many others fundamentally reject as Smith’s remarks continue to dominate headlines they also spark broader discussions about the future of Canadian politics her critique of Trudeau’s resignation was not just a reflection on the past but a call to action for the future Justin Trudeau’s resignation is not the end of the story it’s the beginning of a new chapter Smith said it’s a chance for Canadians to reclaim their voice to demand better from their leaders and to chart a course that prioritizes Unity prosperity and
(07:57) freedom we cannot afford to wander this moment Smith’s vision for Canada’s future was one of decentralization economic growth and renewed respect for provincial autonomy she called for a government that listens to Canadians rather than lecturing them that empowers provinces rather than undermining them and that focuses on practical Solutions rather than ideological posturing it’s time for a government that puts Canadians first Smith said a government that values hard work Ingenuity and resilience a government that respects
(08:30) the diverse voices and perspectives that make this country great that is the Canada I believe in and that is the Canada we must strive to build as the nation grapples with the implications of Trudeau’s resignation Smith’s remarks have positioned her as a leading voice in the conversation about Canada’s future her critique of Trudeau though polarizing has resonated with many Canadians who share her frustrations and her hope for a brighter future whether one agrees with her assessment or not there is no denying that Danielle Smith
(09:01) has made her stance on Justin Trudeau’s leadership crystal clear in doing so she is captured the attention of a Nation at a Crossroads her words sharp and unyielding serve as both a reflection on the past and a challenge to the Future urging Canadians to demand more from their leaders and to never settle for less than they deserve.
