Exceptional and important. Well worth your attention. I appreciate the format wherein @maxfawcett.bsky.social extends full allowances to @readtheorchard.org to unpack his meticulously researched and considered views on Danielle Smith and the project she leads.
🙏
For more such analysis, you can read my book!
Will the real Danielle Smith please stand up? by @readtheorchard.org open.substack.com/pub/theorcha...
My educated guess as a leading Smithologist is that she told them that she's doing most of what they want (wrt oil and gas, health care, immigration and education) within the confines of Canadian federalism, but if the feds try to stop her she will change her tune.

NEW: I appeared on Alberta Primetime last night to discuss how Danielle Smith’s populist style of politics led us to this current moment in Alberta.
I bought it but at first I was a little nervous about sustained engagement with this book’s subject matter. But it’s very informative as well as a real page turner. I do read it in the daylight hours though and don’t keep it on my night table in order to protect my dreams. Just a precaution.. 🫣
Just recorded @albertaadvantage.bsky.social episode on the referendum with Jeremy this morning where he brought all the knowledge used in this book. Buy it!
NEW: Check out this excerpt from Dark Phoenix that I published in my newsletter.
@maxfawcett.bsky.social & @readtheorchard.org .. a new book I will read. Lunatic Smith is an Ayn Rand Fan like the assholes who are the basis of the book 📚 👉The Nerd Reich.

So I’m the source on part of this story. It’s 100% legit, terrifying and needed to be told. Thank for the help Jeremy.
We actually polled on this in September as part of a broader Abacus Data survey on separation and only 15% of Albertans believed a 'remain' victory in the referendum would settle the issue for a generation or more.
